Basketball A very successful season was completed this year by the St. Johns cagers who won twelve and lost but five games. They were in the race for the West Central League championship all through the season. They lost out to Greenville in the last game of play for conference championship, which put them in second place in league standings. This is the first time in the history of the league that St. johns was battling for part of the league title. One of the greatest accomplishments of the season was the victory over Alma in a regular scheduled game. A bad break came in the latter part of the season when Dale Knight, the regular center, got knocked out of the lineup due to a knee injury. Although the loss of Knight put the fire out, the Redwings played their hearts out and lost four heart breakers including the district tournament which was played on Lansing East- ern's floor. Hot, Hot, Hot. Oh, brother, those little wings. In one game they led Ionia 40-3 at the half. GOOD LUCK NEXT YEAR. 88

In the last two years fourteen boys were sent to the state finals, on the Michigan State track at East Lansing. The Redwings have been very strong in the relays, and with a regular relay man back for each spot, they should go to State finals again this year. BOWLING LEAGUE Every Monday night after school Hick's bowling alley is filled with high school bowl- ing enthusiasts. The leagues bowl under the supervision of Miss Helene Burns at reduced rates. The main purposes of the league are to provide a healthful sport for the students and to prepare them for bowling in the future. BOXING Boxing is one of the new hobbies which has been enjoyed by many students in the last two years. It was started by the Junior Chamber of Commerce. Last year students had regular boxing matches at Lansing in the Golden Gloves and rated high considering the experience they had. BASEBALL Because of the publishing deadline of the annual, it is impossible to say much about our 1950 baseball team. Last year was the first Redwing Club in several years. With little or no experience the team won only one league game, but lost some heart-breakers. This year there will be a letter man for al- most every position, and the boys should do much better than last season.
