Girls' Basket Ball Season of '24 As the girls' basket ball season closes, we look back upon a season full of pep and a real success for the year. We are proud of our girls' team for the real good playing they did and the fine, snappy spirit they kept all through the season. We owe much to our coach, Mr. Witte, who showged us how to play real basket ball and kept our pep up to the highest poin . During the season we played sixteen games and lost four of them out of the happy sixteen. Our girls certainly deserve a great deal of credit for winning twelve games, which is the largest number won by a W. W. H. S. team of girls. The line-up was as follows: Olga Elgaard, '24, centerg Kathryn El- lis, '24, guard, Lillian Cappen, '24, forward, Freda Baker, '24, second center, Helen Lane '25, second sub. center, Gladys Philpot '26, sub. cen- ter, Kathryn Molden '26, forwardg Martha Hammer '27, guaidg Rula Lane, sub. guard, Magda Ankerson '27, sub. forward. Skinny Elgaard, tall and quick, was a good center. Kack Ellis, short, but rough, was a mighty fine guard. Lill Cappen, had a fever of putting the ball in the basket on time. Freaky Baker, made a mighty fine second center, and put the ball in the basket many times. Hctten Lane, shows a good chance of being a real second center. Boots Philpot, because of her swiftness and fast movement, made good as a center. Katy Molden, won us many scores and has another year to show her ability to the poor graduates. Dutch Hammer, although a Freshman guard, put one cver some of her big forwards in the way of her guarding. Rula Lane was a fine guard and always full of pep. Magda Ankersen always played a good game, and shows signs of bc- ing an A-1 forward next year.

Hi-Y Our Hi-y branch of the Young Men's Christian Association for High Schools, is in its fourth year. The purpose of the organization is to fos- ter better Christian citizenship. It stands for clean speech, clean ath- letics and clean scholarship. The club has been smaller than usual this year and there has been so many other school activities, that they have interfered with the regular meeting and attendance. Eight of the members attended the state camp at Camp Sheldon last summer and enjoyed a very profitable and pleasant vacation of ten days. They were accompanied by their leader, E. E. Green, and brought home several prizes in athletics. About twice as many plan to go this year. The club united with the Girls' Club in a very successful and enjoyable Halloween party last fall and will close the year with a picnic for both clubs, to which all are looking forward. The officers the past year have been Herbert Ambler, president: Ar- thur Dunn, vice-presidentg Edgar Cole, secretary, and Eldon Mendenhall trcasurer.
