We lost four of our players from last years squad, but with five letter men back to build around, a formidable team was turned out. Only three of the players will be lost by graduation this spring, so the prospects for next year's team are bright. Rusk-Our pitcher.

VOLLEY BALL TEAM Standing, left to right-Gladys Wilson, Edna Nichols, Miss Carroll, coach, Carol Auld, Velma Hillis- Sitting, left to right-Dorothy Sorensen, Margaret Sorensen. Volley ball at the Washington Township school is a recently developed sport. It was started in the school year 1923-1924, but no inter-school games were scheduled that year. The next year, 1924-1925, a regular team was organized and, as a usual thing, traveled with the baseball team for a dual meet with the school which they were visiting or which was visiting us. Excellent material was developed from among our high school girls and the team twice de- feated Chesterville, Cardington and Edison. A volley ball tournament was placed on the list of events for girls at the track and field meet. The Iberia girls won the county championship in volley ball in this tournament with teams entered from Cardington, Mt. Gilead and Chesterville. XVe have been unable to schedule games this year with schools in the county as there is no track meet and the schools have not organized teams. How- ever volley ball is definitely established as a Fall and Spring' outdoor sport tor girls at Iberia and in pursuance of this policy the above team has been selected. Two games will be played with Martel and efforts are being made to secure games with Caledonia, Bucyrus and Galion. The main attrac- tion of the season of course, will be the Alumni game scheduled for the last day of school. The Alumni will have a strong team as many of last years star players are now numbered among the graduates. Of this years team only two are Seniors, so the prospects are good for an exceedingly strong team next year. Margaret Sorensen is captain of this years six. Edna Nichols, Gladys Wilson and Mar- garet Sorensen all played in regular games last year- Velma Hillis, Carol Auld and Dorothy Sorensen are the new players on this year's team. Physical edu- cation experts agree that volley ball is one of the best games ever invented for girls to play. We hope all our neighboring schools will take up the game that some real competition may be developed. -get 2 it gg.. 1 -B: as le,-aol---M--W-1... les--
