GIRLS ' BASKET BALL At the official opening of basket ball Monday, December 3, fifty girls appeared for the initial tryout. Most of these candidates were veterans of two or three year ' s experience and showed ability which later developed into a first class team. After careful preliminary prac- tice, the girls showed the results of their good coaching under Miss Orrell by winning all but two of the eleven games on their schedule, which was unusually long and heavy. A. H. H. S. 30 Owosso 12 Our first game had a great significance because it was the first Valley game and meant much towards our championship hopes. The girls showed their class by overcoming Owosso to the tune of 30-12 in a well played game. A. H. H. S. 18 Flint Central 21 Our girls seemed lost in their first home game and permitted the Flint girls to go oflF vic- torious. A. H. H. S. 41 East Lansing 19 The girls showed their best form of the year in defeating East Lansing. This game mark- ed the beginning of our winning streak. A. H. H. S. 49 Bay City Central 19 Next! Another push towards the top in the Valley race. This game was just as much of a walk-away as the score indicates. A. H. H. S. 45 Owosso 18 This was our return game with Owosso, so our girls celebrated by raising their first score a few points. A. H. H. S. 16 Flint Central 15 In the closest and most exciting game of the year the girls gained their revenge on Flint for their first defeat by a one point victory. A. H. H. S. 29 Saginaw 18 Well ! Well ! We won from Saginaw High for the first time in years. The game was slowed up somewhat by the frequent calling of fouls by the referee. But the game was not a mistake and our girls clearly outplayed their opponents, especially the center pair, and the team deserved their victory. A. H. H. S. 52 Tawas City 18 It ' s lucky that the girls from the North Country were used to snow, for they were sure caught in a drift. A. H. H. S. 26 Bay City Central 18 In the last game of the year the girls came up victorious. The game was well played, although our lassies were without the services of Shimmer and Dice. Much credit is due to the second team for the keen opposition they provided the varsity.

TRACK The first call for track brought out thirty-two candidates, among whom are many good prospects who should make 1923 the banner year in track at Arthur Hill. Coach Bassett has pinned his hopes upon winning the Valley Meet, which has not been won by the Hills since 1914. The track team will participate in four interscholastic meets this year — Kalamazoo Col- lege, May 5 ; Kalamazoo Normal, May 11 ; University of Michigan, May 25-26 ; M. A. C. June 2. Track will be the outstanding athletic activity this spring, as it has been decided to drop baseball. The track team of ' 23 is certain to be a success under the coaching of Smiley Bassett and the leadership of the veteran captain, Ray Hart. Hart has already added to the laurels of Arthur Hill this year by winning the half mile in the Interscholastic Contest at Ann Arbor in April. GIRLS ' SWIMMING TEAM For the first time in the history of Arthur Hill a girls ' swimming team was organized. The fine showing which was made was largely due to the interest and help of Harvey Spaulding and the eff orts of Miss Orrell. The following girls were chosen to represent Arthur Hill at the Bay City tank meet: M arion Marks Grace Rankin Ruth Barnard B. Byron Mildred Marks Augusta Osterbeck Irene Tullis With a team like the one represented, no surprise need be expressed at the victory they achieved, the score being 18 to 17. Mildred Marks tied for first place in the 20-yard Australian crawl, and Ruth Barnard fin- ished second. Irene Tullis and Ruth Barnard were first and second, respectively, in the breast stroke, while Marion Marks took first place in the diving contest. i 1 SWIMMING TEAM The aquatic sport has never been given a foremost position in the athletic activities of the high school, but this year there was a strong desire for a swimming team, and in response to a call for candidates, many Arthur Hill swimmers presented themselves at the Y. Try-outs were held and a team composed of the following men was selected: Ray Hart (Captain) Relay — 40-yard Dash Russel Alger 100-yard Dash Martin Tanner Breast Stroke Ferdinand Gainsbauer Back Stroke Wendel Jackson Back Stroke Eddie Alderton Fancy Diving Roddy Mcintosh Fancy Diving Tracy Maynard Plunge for Distance John Gragg Plunge for Distance
