CROSS-COUNTRY RELAY A cross-country relay race on Thanksgiving Day was an innovation at W.S.H.S., but it was auspiciously inaugurated by a victory over the “Hi Y Club team of the La Crosse Y.M.C.A. The course was the South Salem road. The La Crosse runners carried a message to West Salem and the Salem team carried a similar one to La Crosse. There were thirty men on a team and each man ran a half mile. Neither team had time to train in the event, so that next year ought to show a marked improvement in the competition. The race promises to be an annual affair. This year Salem brought home the cup, which was given by the Y.M. C.A. The team winning the cup three consecutive years retains it permanently. Bert Hyzer, former Ames track star, coached the team and to him more than to anyone eise belongs the credit for our showing. Our running time was almost thirty minutes under La Crosse's. Prospects for another triumph next fall are good, but we must get busy and train for it. 28

THE HIGH SCHOOL BAND Up to the winter of 1922 several attempts had been made to organize i high school band but it was not until this time that a real successful band was organized. Mr. D. W. Nichols was made director of the organization which was made up of about thirty boys. The boys made rapid progress under his direction and were able to give their first concert in May. Although school was not in session, the boys continued their work during the summer under the able direction of Dr. F.L. Gullickson. In the winter of 192.3 the high school band joined the West Salem Military Band and are still working with that organization. The band has been one of the most successful and valued organizations of the school. The boys have given several concerts during the school year and have done much to make the Carnival and the Fair a success. A new band of about twenty pieces has been started and promises to be as successful as the other. 30
