SO LONG FELLOWS! I'd like to take this opportunity to say so long and good luck to all of you. For seven years it has been my pleasure, and a real pleasure it has been, to work with you boys and those who came before you. It's been an experience I'll never forget. You've been at grand bunch! Thanks for your cooperation. We've had our moments of triumph, our moments of defeat. I hope we've learned lessons from each. W hat I say to the basketball and baseball boys goes for the whole student body as well. You've all played the game whole heartedly, whether it was on the ' athletic field, in the stands, or in the class room. I can't believe that I'll ever find a group of boys and girls like you. My hope is that I may. Good luck and best wishes.

eKVIo4IriGrt? BASEBALL Lack power at plate. Win one, lose two in short season; Playing a new wartime schedule on only three conference games per season the Vikings did not have the higting to wage a highly successful campaign, but they did salvage one game in three attempts. Our lack of success may also be attributed to some costly defensive errors in the clutch for the opposition tallied seventeen runs on only sixteen hits. Misplays under the high pressure were probably due to the fact that the team was young and lacked experience for there were only two seniors on the starting nine. Next year the same team will be out to win, losing only Lee, pitcher, and Gjerteon and Sannee, outfielders. SUMMARY OF THE SEASON The feeble hopes of successfully defending last years Southern Half championship were dimmed in the initial game of the season when Wittenberg invaded the Viking lair and walked over our boys by-a lOuZ count. Lack of hittingvathe Vikee got the small sum of three hiteur and erratic fielding were costly. The Vikings next dropped a 5-2 decision to Rosholt. The hitting was even worse this time, only two safeties were collected off Colrud,'Rosholt hurler. The boys rolled into high gear in the last game of the Season, taming the Tigers of Tigerton 7-2, Seven hits were pounded out and the team refused to bite at bed pitches with the result that they were issued nine bases on balls. Lee held Tigerton to one hit, AS WE GO Tb PRESS FLASHi! Sprin schedule results. Scandinavia 6, Rosholt 7 C3 1 2 innings in a sea of mudll Scandinavia l, Wittenberg 5.
