The Senior team met the J uniors and had no serious trouble in defeating them 7-2. The Freshmen held the Sophomores to a lone basket in their contest and won 11-2. This left the championship game to be play- ed by the Freshmen and Seniors. The Freshmen had a strong team and had beaten the Senior team in a previous game, which was played as a pre- liminary to the Sparta game. In the final game the Seniors were Victorious by a score of 3-1, giving them the interclass championship. Since no boy who played on the first squad was eligible to compete in the interclass games, the chances of winning were about equally divided between the classes. The Senior and Freshman teams had a slight advan- tage in that they had played together several times preceding the tour- nament. The Senior team consisted of Ray Favor tCaptain, Alwin Anderson, Kenneth Peterson, Lawrence Larson, Pearl Engler, Lawrence Rabbitt, and Carlyle McKibbin. In the championship game Anderson starred for the Seniors, making three points which won the game. Bud Morrison and Joe Grimsrud played good basket-ball for the Freshmen in every game and dis- tinguished themselves by their floor work and shooting ability. The whole Freshman team in fact deserve honorable mention, for, although diminu- tive in size, they displayed very promising basket-ball ability against their larger and more experienced opponents. h5gh

E. Irwin, H. DeGarmo, C. Kilmer, A. Hanson, W. Veedum, E. Jacobus, Mr. Power. The two stock judging teams that represented the Viroqua High School last fall had the rather unusual distinction of winning two state championships: the state fair stock judging contest, and the fat stock judging championship at the state high school contest at Madison last fall, besidestwinning second place in the all-around stock judging contest, with 72 schools competing. While at the state fair last fall, the boys decided they would enter the stock judging contest. The boys drew lots for places on the team. Earl Jacobus, Adolph Hanson, and Clarence Kilmer drew the lucky num- bers. These boys entered the contest, and came out with first place. For this prize, they received a free trip to the Sioux City Interstate Fair, Iowa. The boys judged stock while at this fair, but failed to win first prize, get- ting fifth place against twelve states. The regular tryouts for the high school team were held October 17th. The junior boys who made the team were Everett Irwin, captain; Wesley Veedum, and Clarence Kilmer, with Harold DeGarmo as alternate. At Mad- ison they landed second place, together with the championship of judging fat stock, for which theyiwere given a free trip to the International Live Stock Show at Chicago, a few weeks later. The boys judged at this con- test against 22 other state champion teams, but failed to score as high as they should have scored, owing to the fact that Wisconsin does not use the oral method of giving reasons for placing of stock. However, the school has every reason to feel proud of the boys who so valiantly represented her in the judging rings this year all over the middle west. .-.6 0-
