At the first class meeting they chose the following officers: president, Deane Martin: vice president, Mae Breen, secretary-treasurer, Martha Harvey. ' The freshman class mourned the death of one of its members, Neva Cummins. ' , Coach Clark found the following boys of this class out for football: Deane Martin, 'Charles Bishop, Leslie Mapes, Hubert Boyd, Ross Cox, Her- bert Allen, Paul Harrell, Delbert Ra- gan, Thomas Monaghan, Vernon Sim- mons. One of this group, Deane Martin, received his letter for achievement in this sport. . Three freshman girls-Mae Breen, Eloise Travis, and Laura Abrahams- have been on the basketball team all season.

JUNIOR.-SENIOR BANQUET The annual junior-senior banquet was held on Friday, May 3, in the high school gymnasium, which was decorat- od like a roof garden. A dance or- chestra from Des Moines played for the dance after the banquet. The chairmen for the various com- mittees were as follows: entertain- ment, Dorothy Cunningham and Er- nest Muellerg program, Ilo Comp and Isabelle Smithg food, Marjorie Bell- man and Betty Fosherg and decora- tions, Kathleen Croft and Kermit Moore. JUNIOR CLASS PLAY Remembering that the financial support of the junior-senior banquet rested on them, the junior class of 1934-1935 made a snappy sales carn- paign for the sale of tickets for the class play, The Three of Us. The campaign was undertaken as z, contest, with two captains for each of the two sides. John Elderkin and Mary Bruns were the captains for the victorious side. The individual prizes for largest ticket sales were won by Bessie Embree and Russell Comp. The Three of Us Was presented early in the fall. Maxine Harrell played the part of Rye McChesney, a young west- ern. girl whose efforts to keep her younger brothers, Clem and Sonny, played by Eugene 'Crow and Arthur Goshorn, at home made up the prin- cipal interests of the plot. John Elder- kin as Steve Townley supplied the romantic attraction. Six other characters in the play were enacted by Kathleen Croft, Isa- belle Sfmith, Dale Braden, Willard Mease, Floyd Craven, and Leland Cahow. l.T0 ..

FOOTBALL Fifty boys reported to Coach Clark on September for football. Of the fifty, nine were lettermen from last year. The boys had a hard two weeks' prac- tice before the first game. On Friday night, September 14, Adel came here to play Winterset: it was a hard fought game, but Winterset came out ahead 7 to 0. After another two weeks' practice Lincoln High of Des Moines played the local boys on Winterset's field on the night of September 28. After forty minutes of good football Lincoln went home with the victory of one touch- down. Score 6 to 0. Winterset played the third game on Cctober 12 against Greenfield. Win- terset won after a hard struggle. Score 13 to 6. On October 19 Winterset journeyed to Centerville to play their old rivals. After forty minutes of football, mixed with mud and mud mixed with a little football, Winterset won by a narrow margin, 14 to 13. Alexander's 78-yard run was the feature of the game. Winterset went to Indianola on No- vember 2 to play the first conference game. After outplaying the opponents mcst of the game the best the locals could do was to play a tie-0 to 0. Winterset played the second confer-A ence game against Pella. The locals could call it a breezer because they came through with a 27 to 0- victory. This game was played Novernber 9. On November 16 Perry came here to 1'2lay. Although Winterset lost by one touchdown, the locals played a good game against much heavier opponents. The final score of this game was 6 tc G in favor of the visitors. On November 23 Winterset played Valley Junction. Again Winterset was out-weighed, but played a good game. Winterset lost by the score of 13-6. On Thanksgiving Day, November 29, Winterset played Mt. Ayr. After play- infz- on even terms the first half, 'Win- terset came back and Won 13 to 6. Photographer: Now look pleasant please, Mr. -Clement. Click- It's all over now. You can resume your natural expression. BASKETBALL Winterset boys had one of the most successful basketball seasons of recent years, winning fourteen games and los- ing seven. Co-captain Dale Murrell, forward, played his second year on the varsity. He teamed well with the rest of the boys and was a good floor man. Mur- rell will be greatly missed- next year. Co-captain 'Charles Beeler, forward, was moved from guard to forward. He filled the forward position like a veter- an. Charles was rather rangy and used his height to a great advantage. Charles is a senior this year. Rex Wade, center, played his first year as a regular. Because of his weight he would alternate jumping with Alexander. Rex has two more years and will be a valuable man in the future. Claude Alexander, guard, is without a doubt one of the best guards that have graduated from Winterset. He played a steady game and was very dc- pendable. He will be greatly missed next year, Walter Vance, guard, filled this posi- tion very favorably. He seldom scored, but was a valuable defensive man. Vifalter played his last year for W. H. S. Hubert Vance, the Jack of All Trades, played either guard or for- ward. Vance was a valuable utility man. He lacked the experience the other boys hadg therefore, he didn't play so much. He will graduate this year. John Grout, center, played his first year of basketball. Because of his lack of experience Grout had to work hard for his place. He teamed well with the rest of the boys and was fighting from the start to the finish. He is a senior. Donald Simpson, center, played his first year on the varsity. He showed promise of becoming an excellent cen- ter. He teamed up well with the for- wards and generally controlled the tip- off. He is a junior this year. LeRoy Addy, forward, played his fi1'st year of basketball. He was a rangv boy and used his height to a good ad- vantage. He should make a valuable man next year.
