JOANNE McCARTY EIJSCTED YELL LEADER POB BASKETBALL THIS SEASON Coach- Neff Reduces Basketball Squad to Twenty-four Members Joanne McCarty, a freshman In higl? school, was elected to lead Syracuse to victory in basketball this year, receiving 106 votes in contrast to 80 1-2 for Lowell Sharp, and 19 for Betty Miss McCarty hails from the St. Patrick school of Ft. Wayne. With the first game of the season in mind, Coach Neff reduced his squad to 24 members and divided these into two groups. Squad No. 1 consists of Harry Coy, Corlyss LeCount, John Robert Kern, Howard Hummel, Roy Miller, Burton Niles, Robert Hinderer, Nelson Felts Clarence Bitzer, Wendell Beck, Dick ’ Burket, Jack Stoelting, Jr. O’Haver, and Don Stroh. This squad practices on Monday after school and on Wednesday after supper. The Squad No. 2 consists of Wayne Coy, Charles Maison, Robert Disher, Reginald Cook, William Miller, LaMont Bell, Marvin Laughlin, Nelson Hinderer, Philip Brower, and Robert Plank. This group will practice on Tuesday evening after school. Syracuse’s first game here is Nov. 11 against a veteran Leesburg team. This promises to be a real battle, so come one, come all, and see some real basketball. Basket Ball Shots There are five Seniors on the present basket ball squad. Syracuse already has some new basketballs, although they have not played a game as yet. The basketball floor looks swell, so let’s try to keep it that way by staying off of it with shoes that have nails, or heel plates to mar it. Those who attend the opening game Nov. 11 will notice the change in the score board. All of the old advertisements have been taken off. The band will be worth the price of admission to get into the game. They have planned plenty of entertainment, playing, marching, forming letters and etc. If you don't like the basketball team come and see the band instead. Looking over the basketball schedule we notice that Warsaw opens with Goshen. Dan Perry, will make bow in basketball against Syracuse at Milford, Nov. 18. Perry succeeds the veteran Mr. Neff, who has coached at Milford for a good many years. Early Ohio Federal Inspector As early as 1795 a federal inspector was placed in the Ohio district to enforce the internal revenue laws because of the numerous distilleries.

Mr. Reinbold having taken his leave President Sharp took charge of the meeting and discussion of the pictures was carried on. The information received from Mr. Reinbold was compared with the information produced by Katharine Dillen, in regards to the proposition offered by two photographers from Goshen. Upon careful consideration ot both propositions the class finally decided upon Mr. Reinbold to do the work of Senior class. Miss Hammon took the floor after the above question was settled and the discussion immediately turned to the Senior class play, with costumes and furniture as discussion.

The teachers drew the first blood of the contest in the second inning on Slabaugh’s hit, and Gustafson’s double into left. The teachers proceeded to go out. However, they opened the third, and scored a run on Cook’s double. Beck hit, but the side was retired without other damage. Gustafson held the caddies until the fifth, then the fireworks started. O’Haver singled. Hinderer singled, and Plank tripled along the third base line. However Gustafson then put the side out.
