Boys Basketball The boys bnskerhall team of HSS and 'l36 has had a very successful season, winning twelve out of eighteen games. This was due to the excellent coaching of Mr. Diale Brown, our HRW 00110115 and the Work -of eight veterans from last year's squad: Zatzke, Gunderson, Snook, Snyder, A. Haupt, V. Hauplt, Blrigihtwell, and Olson-. ' Our opening .game against Fruitport was an easy victory, which accounted for the fact that we were surprised hy Hesperia 'who defeated us -by a score of 12-8. After easily taking Newaygio we also defeated Hart in a close and hard fought lhattle, winning by just one- poi-nt. In our next attempts we were hea-ten hy the strong Scot-tville :team and 'nosed out thy 'the North Muskegon quint in a thrilling game. Then our luck changed and our next seven games were victories for the Red and White. These games included two with Montague, two with Shellby, one with Hart, Hesperia, and Ravenna, respectively. Our next tw-o games were lost to North Muskegon and Scottvilleg the latter were the champions of the West Michigan League, with Whitehall in second place. In the district t-ourn-ament we defeated the fast and clever St. Simons and Custer teams for the championship. A-t the Regional Toulrnament we 'were sadly defeated hy Sugnfield by a score of 18-25.

The Glee Clubs Of the eighty-six pupils enrolled in the High School at the beginning of the year, sixty- seven were members of either the boys or girls Glee Cluib. Of this numlbor thirty-eight were selected by Miss Wiltsie, the director, to form a mixed chorus. This group presented a carol concert with appropriate itaibleaux for the P.T.A. at Christmas time, and also furnished the vocal music for the Orchestra Concert in January. Both Glee Cluibs appeared in the finst Ba-nd Concert of the year. The groups united in the presentation of -the annual High School Operetta- Tulip Time , the scene of which was a small 'Dutch village. The mrnival of a party of' American students, under .the leadership of Professor 'McSpindle added excitement to the holiday which was be- ing celebrated. The arrest of iMeSpinidle as a suspected thief of prize tulip bulbs was made with much ado by the 'Burgomia-ster of the village. Great consternation reigned until Mc- Spinfdle proved his innocence and 'Ned announced 'lthree marrying joibs four the Burgomasterf' The parts were most ably portrayed by the memlbers of the cast, with McSpindle, the Burgomaster, and Hans leading in the laughs. The cast was as follows: Hans-aRoger Meinert, Aunt Ann-Ruth Peterson, Kaitinka-Winifred Rolph, Christina-:Florence Covell, Hendrick Van Oster4Paul Zatzke, Theophilus McSpinidle-Charles Snyder, Ned Baxter-James DeWitt, Dick Warren--Ralph Olson.
