THE TOTEM. 21 dneed by the ' ' Brigands and Hob- goblins. The most beautiful part of the play consisted of the elaborate costumes. General Knickerbocker was gorgeous in every act. The cos- tumes of the Japanese chorus were marvelous for their elegance. Everyone who saw the play ex- pressed themselves as being well pleased and awarded the school the highest praise. t t The High School Athletic Assoeia- tion, which was organized at the be- ginning of the present school year, is an association whose object is to promote and encourage athletics in all its branches within our schools. With a strong association backing up the school, it is much easier to de- velop good athletes. Without an association the only Avay a school can make any showing in athletics is through the support of the school board and the individual efforts of a few athletically inclined persons The foot ball team was organized during the first of the term. Homer Morrison was elected captain and James Falvey manager. The team was very successful, both financially and on the field. Out of eight games played the Red and White boys held all of their opponents to very low scores, winning three games, tying one and meeting defeat four times, i The last game of the season was on our home grounds. Thanksgiving day. It was attended by the largest crowd that has ever turned out to witness any athletic contest between the two schools of Winamae and Star City. The game ended in a tie. Since there were no victors every one was pleased and had a general good time. After the foot ball season an effort was made to start basket ball, but the boys could not find a suitable room, so nothing was done along that line. But early in the spring a track team was organized and began train- ing for all field events. We intend to meet Medaryville in a dual meet in the near future. Athletics are the bonds that bind the ordinary American boy to his school. Show us a boy who would not be proud of his school when it has won a foot ball game or a track meet, even though he never participated in the games himself. Q, E. D.
