THE VERSAILLES Page 7 the student body to lead the yells and songs. These cheer leaders are selected for their ability to lead the cheers. This is an ideal opportunity given to the leaders to show their school loyalty. At the beginning of the basketball season, new cheer leaders are chosen—thus giving this privilege to a number of eligible pupils. Pep meetings are held to inspire the student body wth interest to support the school team with their presence, cheers and songs. The basketball season follows the close of the football season. The boys’ team is trained by Mr. Fambrough. This type of athletics attracts boys who may not be interested in other games. The girls’ team is under the supervision of Miss Steen. Fresh material is worked in with the experienced players, and whether new or old, each girl plays the game with the best of her ability. Both the boys’ and girls’ teams play various teams throughout the county, and each game, whether won or lost, is a battle of wits, and gives the players inspiration in some definite way. Versailles High School attempted a new enterprise this year; namely, Inter-class Tournaments in basketball. Games were arranged for all four classes to vie with each other and prove their merit in this well-liked athletic game of basketball. The players were selected from each class, choosing only those who are not actively engaged in the regular basketball teams, thus giving each class a fair chance of winning. The first game was played between the Junior and Senior boys. The score was 12 to 11 in favor of the Juniors. The second game was a contest between the Freshman and Sophomore girls, and it was a very exciting battle—the score was a tie, 9 to 9. These teams were given another chance to decide the winner, and the victors in the second fray were the Sophomore girls, who won by a margin of 9 to 5. The Freshman lads tried their skill against the Sophomore boys, and were defeated by a score of 9 to 2. The victory was easily won by the superior pass-work of the Sophomores. Next, the Junior and Senior girls played a game, which ended in a victory for the Junior girls, with a score of 11 to 2. The Junior boys competed with the Sophomore boys, but the underclassmen were the victors, with a score of 20 to 14. The Junior and Sophomore girls’ game was a heated fray, the game ending with a close score of 11 to 9, in favor of the Sophomores. The Junior High School girls challenged the Freshman lassies to a game, in which the Freshmen came out victorious with a score of 22 to 5. Other interesting school events, such as the Music and Literary Contest,; and the various social functions terminating the school year, such as the Junior-Senior Banquet, Senior Class Night, Graduation exercises, the Annual Class Play, and the Alumni entertainment, proved to make our school year one of worth-while achievements, lasting friendships, and pleasant memories.
