owianti S B . HOWLAND BOYS' BASKET BALL TEAM Standing: Hawkins, Mgr.g Reynolds, Gallagher, Biery, Harnar, XVelfy, Coach Hanson.. Seated: Blair,1 Rmlgc, Ratlif, Cunningham, Crawford, Berry, Arnold. OK9 Boys ' Athletics 1 Tlie baseball team had a very successful season, reaching the finals in county play. Hartford won out lation lies in the fact that in Crawford we had one of the neatest little forwards that ever represented after a desperately fought battle. The features of our team play were hard Work and fighting-punch supf plied by Frank Hawkins, slugger and catcher. Three rookies made good in the persons of Shearer, at first baseg Harner, at left, and Goodwin at Center field. Biery and Crawford played a consistent game in the infield and at bat. Cunningham filled a hard place at shortstop very well while Babe Ruth Gano did the right fielding. Ratliif proved u valuable man as a pinch-hitter and pinch-base runner. Our basket ball team fell before the vigorous on- slaught of our powerful opponents. Our only conso- Howland. Rudge played his consistent hard, fighting game. Blair, a hard fighting man, is virtually a self- madc basket ball player. With very little attention he gradually worked himself to the top. Arnold, Berry, and Cunningham constituted the rest of the squad. The loss of Ratliff evidently took some of the spirit out of the team, for up to that time they had been going well. A great deal of credit should be given to our Junior High team which showed up fine with Baxter as its star. 4 Several very promising youngsters have started train- ing for track. ' XVe hope to enter a team in the county meet this year.

Howland 4 HOWLAND MEMBER' OF STATE DEBATE LEAGUE Sfamling Clvff lo rigbtjz W'inifrvd Biery, Ruby Close, Sylvia Vnlof. Smfed Ucff fo rigbfjz jack Tzvvrdy, Amlrry Van Gorrler, Harry Bl'r'slry. Debaters Bring Gl The debate teams, consisting of Harry Beesley, Jack Tweedy, and Audrey Van Gorder, W'inifred Biery, Ruby Close and Sylvia Valor, carried the colors to more honors in the forensic fields. At the time of going to press they had just won their way into the finals by eliminating Kinsman, a very strong and Capable op- p0n6nt. Every opponent Howland has eliminated gave us plenty of trouble and it was only by the finest and most consistent kind of debating that our teams were able to work their way into a chance at the champion- ship. This makes the fourth consecutive year that Mr. McEvoy, who has coached the debate teams, has had A great stride was made in the forensic activities of Ohio by the formation of the Ohio High School De- bating League in 1927. We are proud of the fact that Howland was one of the first ten schools in the State of Ohio to become a member of that league and to maintain continuous membership to the present time. One who has never debated cannot know the hard work or time involved in preparation, nor appreciate the inestimable value of such training. Howland has always been represented by well-informed and well-prepared debaters, having reached the final round in county de- bate eliminations for the last four years. Prospects for a good team next year are bright and Howland is again going to hammer at the door of the CountyChampion- ship. ory to Howland the pleasure of seeing his proteges reach the county de- bate final. It is a great honor to get to the final round in any county elimination, but it is an especial honor to reach that point in Trumbull County because of the size, because of the progressiveness, and because of the edu- cational standards of Trumbull County. A group that fights its way to the top in a Trumbull County elimi- nation may rest assured that it has won its way over competition that ranks with any in the State of Ohio. Howland is glad to pay its respects to the represen- tatives named in this article. They are worthy of HoWland's best traditions. NWC are proud of them. GYO Character is the best collateral. Don,t be afraid to make mistakes. A man who is always right is too big a fool to know when he is wrong. The one who gets the biggest kick out of life is the one who doesn't put many kicks into it. You may be pround of your ancestors, but would your ancestors be proud of you?
