ATHLETICS The scorer records our basketball games in the scorebook It is wholesome and bracing for the mind to have its faculties kept on the stretch. It is like the effect of a walk in Switzerland upon the body. Reading an essay of Bacon's for instance, or a chapter of Aristotle, or of Butler, if it be well and thoughtfully read, is much like climbing a hill, and may do one the same sort of good.

Once again the West Salem High basketball team earned the titles of Coulee Conference and District Champions. This is the first time in the history of the school that we have won both championships for two consecutive years. Throughout the season West Salem amassed a total of seventeen wins, and only bowed to defeat three times. The three losses were at the hands of Westby, the Central sophomores, and Independence. Besides winning all their conference games, the Salem boys also defeated Westby, Virogua, and Cashton. Probably the reason for the outstanding record set by Mr. Glasrud's boys was the good teamwork and uniform playing ability. Although some games were better played than others, there were no very great extremes in performance, which is so often noticeable in smaller schools. The team was also fortunate in that there were no serious accidents to hamper their playing ability, as there were in the previous year. In the twenty games played. West Salem piled up 597 points, against their opponents' total of 448.
