During the week-end of March eleventh the annual Inter-Patrol Scout Basketball Tournament took place in our new gymnasium. Although the winners. |he Tigers, could not go to New York, the name of their patrol was engraved on the Scout Trophy and this is considered an honor worth striving for.

Ninetecnthirty-cight Page twenty-three Organizations The Ari dn Literary Society rpilE Ariadna Literary Socitey, under the direction of Mrs. Yoder and Mrs. Wallace Williams, met every third Thursday of the month in the girls’ study room. This year there were five new girls of the thirty-four, and the officers were Genevieve Perhai, president; Gladys Baverfeldt. vice-president; Helen Hock-crt. secretary; and Geneva Broege. treasurer. During the year the programs have been very interesting. At each program current events, a biographical sketch, a poem, a story, and a short play have been given. Among the outstanding numbers given this year were The Indian Love Song signed by Carola Davis and a story “Silence told by Grace Byrne and dramatized by nine girls. This year there were two joint meetings of the boys’ and girls’ societies. The joint meeting of the Phoenix and Ariadna Literary Societies on December sixteenth was the tirst one to be held in the new Assembly Hull. This progrum, in honor of Gallaudet Day, opened with a poem by that name signed by Gladys Baverfeldt. A biographical sketch of Thomas Gallaudet by Harold Weingold; the story of Gallaudet and Abbe Sicard by Raymond Rasmus; a poem. Thomas H. Gallaudet by Ruth Cataract; Laurent Clerc by Raymond Kessenich; and A Rare Book by Geneva Broege completed a program which proved to be very entertaining. On April twenty-eighth there was another joint meeting in the new Assembly Hall. The program was very good. The teachers and others were invited to see it. The most interesting part of the program was a group of talks given by some of our boys about their long trip to New York, and Washington. D. C. One or two activities have been discussed but as the Tattler goes to press we do not know if we’ll have time for them. The Phoenix Literary Society ON the sixteenth of September the first meeting of the Literary Society was held in Phoenix Hall for the election of officers.

Nineteen thirty-eight Page twenty-five Athletics The 1937 Football Season OUR team this year showed improvement over last year's team. The team gained a lot of ground tho it failed to score. On several occasions, the hall was taken deep into the opponent’s territory. Our Homecoming game with Iowa was the high spot of the season. The teams battled to a 6 to 6 tie. Good offense and defense kept plays at a standstill during the greater part of the game but now and then our back field broke through for favorable gains and were then forced to punt on downs. The weather was ideal for football and although it was a little chilly, a large crowd turned out to see the game. Up at Minnesota, at their Homecoming, our team threatened to score twice, getting within a few yards of the goal, but in each case they were stopped by Minnesota and lost the game 7 to 0. Several Wisconsin fans were among the large crowd there. Promising young players are our hope for the 1938 season as several of the 1937 regulars will be missing. Scores W. S. I). 0 Stoughton 32 W.

As a fact the new modern gymnasium is said to have the best lighting of any gymnasium in a school for the deaf. Our basketball team with the same starting five as last year back, made another good showing this year winning about seventy per cent of their games. Some of the games were lost by only one or two points. Seasons Record w. s. D. 45 Milwaukee Silents 10 w. s. D. 34 St. Catherine 19 w. s. D. 27 Stoughton 19 w. s. 1). 69 Elkhorn 23 w. s.

Michigan, and Missouri, and then came from behind in the last few minutes to beat Indiana by a slight margin. 26 to 24. This was the final game of the tournament with both teams undefeated in the race for the championship so it is no wonder they put up such a hot fight in this match. For the second consecutive time and for the third time in the Central States Basketball Tournament history, our team won the championship. Wisconsin, having won the championship, received the large beautiful sun-gold trophy.
