Sev- eral of our best boys were lost through graduation last year and two transferred to other schools, but by shifting the boys from position to position a squad was molded. The season opened with a tie of 1-l with Willistown. The West Go group outplayed their opponents as they did in tieing Chadds Ford 2-2 in the next game. Something was wrong. Westtown beat them in the third game l-O but it taught the boys the cause of their woes. Their weakness was closing the sides of the goal area when the drive for the goal was on. With this fault corrected, they went on to finish the season with five consecutive victories. The Easttown game brought to a close a season that showed improvement in play and near perfection in teamplay. An example of this may be shown by the fact that no boy scored more than two goals. The team brought the ball up the field and whatever boy was in position kicked the goal. A reward for the fine spirit and cooperation of the boys was enjoyed in a turkey banquet on December eighth. The mothers of the boys with Mrs. Palameter arranged and served a turkey banquet with all the trimmings in the school cafeteria. A spirit of team- play again was exhibited, this time that larger team, School Board, teachers, and boys. BASKETBALL West Goshen school has attempted to provide a round the year program of sports. In the past few years the closing of the soccer season has brought to an end any sport activity. The school's facilities have prohibited the playing of winter sports. The gap was filled for a while with volley-ball in the auditorium. Since classrooms now occupy this space, sports had to be played outside the building. During inclement and cold weather this was an im- possibility. After months of searching, the Armory floor was secured to play basket-ball two nights a week. The floor was used on Monday and Wednesday nights from three o'clock to five o'clock. Basket- ball was a new game and therefore only a small group turned out. As the season progressed the number increased until we had sixteen boys. The team played four games outside, winning two, and losing two. It was at this time that a doctor's certification of health was required of each boy who wished to participate. This was a forward step in protecting the boy's health. Many times an undis- closed condition has been found and corrected through these ex- aminations. This game is one of the best to teach coordination of eye, hand and footwork. It is excellent in developing teamwork and fair play. A clean game is an asset to any team.. The Downingtown Principal paid our boys a fine tribute when he reported the reaction of his boys concerning our clean play, courtesy, and sportmanship. X., , .

All ages of children, girls as well ,QHQX 'Q,. as boys, play hard ball, soft ball or even soccer baseball. Qifi QQQ ' Our playground has four corners, every one of which has a game fQgg? QQ, going on. The only thing needed is one or more corners. Zi? gi t The school is represented with a hard ball team in the ,' gif X Elementary school league. A schedule of fourteen games has been , P2 arranged. 'V The game of baseball, unlike soccer or basketball, gives the individual player a chance to star. A pitcher, infielder, or outfielder may stand out with unusual ability. One or two stars cannot cover the territory of nine players so that here again teamwork must be accomplished to win. A team must possess enough K batters to put across runs to win. After playing soccer and basket- ball where teamwork is the key to victory, the boys have a sense of unity and team spirit. This gained for them the first game of the season. ff The culmination of baseball this year will close a year of 25? 4- 4 ,WL school in which only a period of a month will have elapsed without ,fi a competitive sport. The value of teamwork, personal responsibil- wiv ,ir V ,Q ity, and good sportsmanship will help to shape the future lives of lb? these boys.

Inside and Outside Squads. L A Ronald Yeager has served all year as Lieutenant, and in that X capacity has done a fine job. It is his duty to take charge of all pl. Safety Meetings and see that all other members of his patrol assume their responsibilities. ' B The Inside Patrol exercises discipline in the Halls, Lunchroom, Q 4 Lavatories and on the Stairs and Playground. gfy , The Outside Patrol posts of duty are at the important road LJQ7 intersections near the school and on busses. The latters duties xf ,.,' ' , , a . 'ff .,, ,Ea are mainly to assist children in boarding and leaving the busses, fag, 1.5, and escort them safely across the highways where necessary, as well 'Qi as keep order when busses are in motion. All pupils who have served during the year are to be duly f rewarded with a trip to Shibe Park in Philadelphia on May 24th, as ' guests of Keystone Auto Club, to witness a Big League Baseball w Game, between Chicago and Detroit. I WOuld like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude 4,3 tx L and sincere appreciation to both the leaders and patrolmen for their fig fi cheerful manner in which they have responded to a very important , 5 gpg gf duty to their school. , ,gpgg 2,3-Q ,.Qg'?5, P Q, T , Sara E.
