ACTIVITIES Scrap books, date books, and diaries remind us of our good times Who hath a book Has friends at hand, And gold and gear At his command; And rich estates. If he but look, Are held by him Who hath a book. Who hath a book Has but to read And he may be A king, indeed; All this is his Who hath a book. Page twenty-five

Regional Tournament at Tomah March 3, 1945 This year the District winners were not scheduled to play in the regular tournament with the class A schools. Instead, under the new system, each class C winner was slated to play the victor of another class C District. This system gives the smaller schools a better chance to get to the Sectional and State contests. It was Salem's fate to play Independence at Tomah, March 3. The Salem boys put up a game fight, and led by one point at the half. However, in the second half, the superior height of the Independence team began to tell, as they slowly pulled away from Salem to win, 30 to 2G. Individual Records Players F.T.A. F.T.M. PCT. P.F.

Six teams were chosen in March and play continued until the warm weather once more permitted outdoor games. Mr. Glasrud did a fine job of building up the boys, as well the the girls, to prepare them for military service or any other work which requires physically fit men and women. Boys' Intramurals Basketball was, as usual, the leading intramural sport. Five teams participated in the three rounds played, including one team composed of boys from the seventh and eighth grades. This team was coached by two seniors, Richard Miller and LaVerne Nuttelman. The captains of the other teams were: Russell Miller, Vernon Neinast, Danny Peterson, and Richard Miller. At the end of the third round, three teams were tied for first place. After the first play-off, Peterson's team and Richard Miller's team remained to fight for the championship. Richard's team emerged triumphant with a 15 to 11 win over Danny's boys. When the basketball season ended, the noon hours were devoted to volleyball, and, later in the spring, to softball. In addition, throughout the whole year shuffle board and ping pong were played by a good number of enthusiasts. Page twenty-four
