U31 CROSS COUNTRY After a period of eleven years, cross country was again introduced at Streator High School under the supervision of Mike Signorella. In spite of inexperience, the harriers finished the season with a good record. The Bulldogs competed in their first meet at Geneseo on October 7. Twenty- one schools participated in this meet and Streator finished down the list with 217 points. The next day, the harriers met with Ottawa here and registered their first victory 24 to 31. On October 14, the squad traveled to La Salle and were wedged out of a victory by one point, 22 to 23. A week later on October 23, the Bulldogs reversed the situation and took a 27 to 28 triumph from La Salle. On October 29, Streator was defeated 27 to 28 by Ottawa on their home grounds. At the district meet which was held at La Salle, Dick Sauer and Ed Radatz CROSS COUNTRY qualified for the state meet by placing on the first ten in the district. The state meet was held at the Urbana Country Club. Out of the 125 candidates compet- ing for honors, Sauer placed 54th and Radatz placed 62nd. Most of the squad members will report again next year, so the team should have a successful season. Graduating lettermen were the veteran distance runner, Captain Dick Sauer, and Rodney Kain. Others receiving letters were: Edward Radatz, Richard Masley, Calvin Flavel, James Phillips, Dale Allen, Richard Humphrey, Dan Cook, Charles Dominic, Wayne Frye, Gerald Kaschak, and Richard Redd.

l i 1 PLAY DAY On October 25, a busload of G. A. A. mem- bers, accompanied by Miss Govas and Miss Skurte, attended a play day at Ottawa. Because of the bad weather, the girls had to stay in- doors. However, a good time was had by all. The Various teams were given names of pro- fessional baseball teams. Relays, swimming, kickball and bat-ball were among the sports enjoyed. There was a late lunch and group singing before the girls left for home. The girls who made the trip were: Lois Carter, Georgia Ladtkow, Bernadine Gall, Marilyn Hozie, Ina DeMoss, Mary Ellen Hyduk, Phyllis Sparks, Marilyn Shinky, Dorothy Shannon, Nancy Pickworth, Claudette Lechner, Marilyn Thew, Charlotte Pollett, June Ferguson, Ther- esa Chergoski and Georgene Farrington. GIRLS SPORTS ARCHERY Archery was one of the iirst fall sports in which G. A. A. members could participate. It was held on Friday afternoon after school under the instruction of Mrs. Mehall. Al- though no tournament was held this year, the girls learned a great deal, and, through practice, they improved their aims. SOCCER Soccer was also an early fall sport. It was held on Tuesday after- noons after school, under the direc- tion of Mrs. Mehall. Instead of per- manent teams, the girls chose their own teams each time they played. No regular tournament was held. BOWLING G. A. A. bowling began in the lat- ter part of September under the sup- ervision of Miss Skurte. The girls met at the Streator Bowling Lanes after school on Tuesdays, and they were divided into teams. Individual scores were kept, and they were not too high because most of the girls were beginners. Both fall and winter bowling sessions were held, although there was no tournament. Nancy Pickworth and Phyllis Sparks man- aged the first session of bowling, and Marilyn Walling managed the second. Look what I did! G. A. A. Bowlers Strike-Wow! ! ! 22
