It is impossi- ble to develope only the hrain and still remain a perfect lmman being. The only perfect man was perfect mentally, spiritually and physically, so we should seek to live up to this standard. Every fall for the last five years we have had football as the leading sport and year by year we have turned out better teams. This year was no exception and with Rudy at the helm our football team climbed several notches higher. Rudy, whom everyone knows, is a senior and we are proud of him. He has been a letter-man every ycar in all sports since he has invaded High School. He has been captain of foot- ball, baseball and basketball teams, and he surely can run a team. He ran his teams so successfully that the senior class decided to have him stear them through the last year in old VV. H. S. Another 1926 hero is Mr. R. E. D. Davis. Red, like Rudy, also has a basket full of letters and I believe the class of 1926 is the only one that can boast of two men that have earned letters in all sports for four years. Red was our timid little fullback. When his turn came in a game he would grab the ball, then Fink, and away we'd go for anywhere from two FOOTBALL TEAM Io 102 yards. The handsome quarterback, who trained and practiced every cvcuiugr out at the edge of t0VWl uwis nouc other than Leslie Forcakcr. llc called signals with his little shrill voice and tackle he would wrap an arm around a fellow's neck and apply his old nat- ural strangle hold. Vi'e had other good backs this year also, who came thru the season in fine shape. Walker, who skipped through the 'line like a phantom, Smith and Batchelder who worked signals from time to timeg Link and Brown, who played half-back and way back as safety man, changing from one position to another, depending on l0ca.l weather and atmospherical conditions. Hedley and Vi'illiams finished our backtield, the former playing half and the latter plays quarter. They both will be back again and expect to rc- serve u place on ncxt ycar's tcam. Our line remained nearly the samc as last year's. Fink at ccntcr, wcnt through the season line and developed his strangle hold to a. peak of perfec- tion. On either side of him were the guards Van Allen and ltichardsg Mar- tin, Mehling and Carpenter tackles with Cross and Bohn holding down the ends. The other linemen were bone crush- cr Reese, Johnson, Suitnr, Snlook, Slack and Bloody Garducr. Most of these fellows will he hack next fall and they surely should have a successful team. Our Coach Mr. Dickson was re- sponsible in many ways for the teaui's success, for hc could put the fight in them so they could eat nails. Mr. Maurer, who also was interested in the team, cooperated whole-hcartedly in any undertaking. The two of them could be seen every Saturday tearing: around the country in their Baby I.in- coln, one driving and the other praying that all the telephone poles and fences would please refrain from colliding with them. The season was a success and to wind it up the mothers grave a won- derful banquet that will never be for- gotten. Many new faces will be seen on the team next fall as Capt. Rada- sill, Davis, Fink, Bohn, Smith, Rich- ards, Yan Allen, Cross Carpenter, Mehi-ling, Martin, Tompkins, Batchel- dcr, Reese and Slack have all played their last game for the Crimson and VVhite, though they will probably ap- pear in future alumni line-ups. Everyone is sorry to leave when the time comes for parting, but we all will remember and extend, our best wishes t0 Herman Zink, captain of the 1926 team. oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooo

XVillai'd High will miss her in athletics next year be- cause she has qualified for any posi- tion on the floor. Elma. will, no doubt, continue her basketball career, so here's to your future Elma. TULLIS LICCREIGHT For the past two years Tut has held some position on the team, each of which we know she was worthy. This year she played forward and some- times center. She has proven herself to be the high point man by ending up the season with a record of 72 points. This being.: hcl' last year to partake in l'l. S. Athletics we wish her luck on an independent or college tcam. R.l'1l3A BENNETT Reba too is another to be missed next year by VVillard High School. She tried her luck at forward and ob- tained results for she has gained a re- putation of dropping them in rather frequently. She ended up the season with a, record of sixty-eigflit points, of which she can be proud, VVe expect to see hcr also continue in basketball. J link N ROBERTSON Next comes .lr-an, our able guard who never failed to do her duty for the team. She could always be de- pended upon and always played a steady game. She also is a Senior who has shown her ability in more ways than one or at least we know a bright senior boy who thinks so-Eh, Jean?
