elected captain for next years team.
After a glorious season of football,
Captain Kimball wound up an equally
glorious season OF banquets with a
most delightful and supmpuous feast.

seven courses, with fruit, turkey, plum
pudding, oysters and deserts was SER
we'd. The place cards were small
pasteboard footballs filled with candy.
Red candles and pink carnations were
the table decorations. The ice cream
was made in the form of small foot
balls. The way things disappeared
was conclusive proof that the seats
were great.
Following this elaborated inner an
election was held and Roy Cruickshank
II, was unanimously elected captain
for next year. Cruickshank has play
ed star game this year at end and
will make an excellent man to pilot
another high school team to state
championship.
Toasts followed the election. Coach
Kalmbach and Mr.. HooVerboth gave
short talks. Ex-captain Kimball clos
ed his football career with a short
talk and Captain Cruickshank closed
the toast with few remarks, saying
he would do all in HIS power to keep
up and better the remarkable reputa-
ton of the team.
