Page Fourteen BL VAQUGRO Freshman Class History By IRBY MAE RICHARDSON BANO ! ! I On Sept. 1. 1924. about thirty Fresb--len enrolled in the Winslow High School. After our first little scare, we set to work to accomplish something that would give us a good foun dation for our following year . We have had one dance so far this year, and gave two assembly pro- grams. The girls gave one and the boy the other. Both programs were greatly enjoyed by all who hnd the pleasure of seeing and hearing them. The Freshman class has proved lt« right to colors and existence. Not only have we demonstrated our muscular ability, but we have established our intellectual power beyond dispute. How comes it that two Freshmen were chosen for the basket ball team? Know the secret? The Freshmen were the best possible ones for the places. May the members of the 192$ class only continue as they have begun— faithful to each other, true to Winslow High, and loyal forever to the colors.

This year brings to the eyes of others another year of our superiority among the other classes of the present, past, and probable future. Our first work was to initiate the Freshmen. This Job was very difficult on account of the many babyish ways that they possessed. Now they are following the examples that we so very carefully give them; it will not be long until they are full-fledged high school students. Our talent has been brought to the eyes of the other classes by the splendid program which was given in assembly. We gave a dancing party, which has shown how we can work together and what fine things we can turn out. Owing to the size of our class, wo have not done much in athletics, but still we have promising material for next year's athletics. We have a few members In the hlgn school band and orchestra who are progressing «n their work and helping the music department by their hard work. Now. as we are approaching our Junior year, we sincerely hope that our class will become larger and more progressive.

E L VAQUERO Page Fifteen Football By MURLB HOHN Football season this year started with very good prospects for a successful year. Some twenty-five or thirty cand dates reported the first week or so of practice. Everyone was anxious to show his stuff to Coach Porter, who. being one of the best. If not the best, coach in the southwest, was to pick the squad of eleven at the end of the week to play the Santa Fe shops for a practice game before the trip to Prescott. The Mlle-IIigh town, as it is called, expected a very easy victory, but after the first few minutes of the game were over, the goal of defeat was ahead of them by a score of 39 to 6. During the next two weeks of practice many men dropped out so things looked vory dull when, on Oct. 18. the game with Flagstaff High was set. Wounded by the loss of many men. n3 an army, nevertheless we fought to the last, defeated by a score of 20 to 0. The game with Jerome was more or less hard luck, as we lost with a score of 7 to 8. This did not lenvc us down-hearted, for as everyone knows, any team will have some bad luck. We are now at the round of tho ladder where wo will havo to relate the game with Round Valley. Round Valley had a one-man team. He was good, we will admit, but anyone who saw this game will say that W. H. 3. played rings around them in teamwork. The hour of work ended with a score of 12 to 9. in their favor. Next came the game with Williams. This game ended in a vory bad defeat. It is believed that the team was a little overconfident. Score: 20 to 7. At tho top of tho ladder comes the Normal gamo. Normal has not beat Winslow In football In many a moon, so this year it was decided they would not beat us either. Therefore W. H. S. plowed through them with four touchdowns to their two, the score being 25 to 14. Thus ended a happy but hard luck season of football.
