Iusaii: ,,. X , k ...J A . . ,'R,,ii ' The Girls' Chorus of the Wilbur High School, consistfng of about thirty members, was organized early in the fall. Rehearsals were held every Wednesday afternr-on. The vocal numbers furnished by the chorus for various szl ool entertainments, thru:- out the year, point unmistalcably to the zeal and thoror ess that has characterized our music department. The operetta, Cinderella, given in the G. A. R. Hall Friday evening, April 6, under the auspices of the High School, was a great success. All the leading characters enacted their parts in a most pleasfng and natural man- ner and are deserving of great praise. The fairies, in answer to the call of their fairy queen, promptly dressed Cinderella for the ball, and by their singing and danc- ing bore testimony to the thoro training which they had received. The music fur- nished by the Foley orchestra contributed much to the success of the evening's enter- tainment. Miss Hendershot, who trained the cast, deserves great credit for her work. The characters were as follows: Cinderella - - - - May Portch Patierice l .- . 5 Myrtle Robertson Charity Y'-Her cruel sister, - Q Varrie Hansen Fairy Godmotlrer Fairies - - Lady Guy - Pi ince Papa - Courtier - Lady at Ball - Ladies, Conrtiers, Pianist - Attendants. - Margaret Travis Girls from grades 3. 4. 5, and ti Ella Rettkowski Arthur Klaus Arthur Norvell Eugenia Reeves Bessie Martin Genevieve Godfrey

glttttletiw lnterest in athletics has been greater this year than ever before. A higher stand- ard has also accompanied this increased interest. All athletics have been in the hands of the athletic committee. This committee is selected by the student body. Two faculty members, the principal and the coach complete the personnel. Our financial condition is better than ever before. ln fact, we have finished the season with money on hand. The interest aroused by the students, and the sale of season tickets for games, seemed to be the biggest stimulus. Much credit is due the business men of the town for their assistance in these activities. We are unable to play football, chiefly because we lack the material. Besides, no other school in the county indulges in this sport. It would, therefore, be diffi- cult to obtain games without incurring great expense. Our chief efforts have been centered in basketball. Our gymnasium is not the best, but the interest outweighs the lack of equipment. The attendance at the games is always good. This season we played the scheduled games in the county league, and also a few games with outside teams. Our games with Reardan and Davenport were the first of the season. With inexperienced players, we went against some of the strongest teams in the eastern part of the state. Our games with Almira were perhaps the most interesting, since we are close neighbors, and the spirit of rivalry is naturally strong. We also had two exciting games with Odessa and Coulee City, respectively. As stated before, our team was rather young and light. Ray Scheibner was the only experienced player. He held the right for- ward position, and was the most versatile player. Herman Scheibner played the strong games. He could be well classified as one of the best guards in the county. Alvin Lyse played his first season. He has good possibilities. George Britton and Roscoe Parrish, forward and guard, respectively, played excellent ball. Britton has the making of a good basket shooter. Parrish will show good form in defen- sive work at center. Altho our defeats have outnumbered our victories, we feel that our interest in clean sports has been stimulated, thru the competition and the experience of the past year. At the approach of spring our interest turns toward track and tennis. The mate- rial for track is rather scarce, but we ought to make some showing. The regular county meet is held at Davenport, May I7. We were unable to arrange for a triangular meet this year, since the other schools have gone into base-ball. The following will enter the county meet: Alvin Lyse, Ray Scheibner, Alfred Hansen, George Britton, Herman Scheibner, james McKay and Roscoe Parrish. 's -P A 1111
