VALEN IlNE-HOm again after
tour of Italy, France, Switzer-
land, England and Ireland and
very glad to be back. The trip was
so full of sight seeing and travel
that it will take a while to get it
all sorted out in our minds. There
were over so members in the
group, travelling in two buses and
coming from states all over the
United States, but Montana with
nine members led the list. There
were four from Townsend, two
from Great Falls, one from Butte,
one from East Helena and myself.
1t would be hard to say what we
enjoyed most, but for scenery it
will be hard to forget flying over
the Alps at 1880 feet in brilliant
sunshine-or setting on the esp
Ianade at Lake Lucerne. Of the
cities we saw Venice, which was
very interesting with its canals,
gondolas and color, but Rome,
Florence, Padua, Milan, were
beautiful and full of intetest.
From city to city and country
to country we were charmed by
the people, the old buildings and
ruins, the feeling that here history
was part of living and not some
thing in a book.

They've done it for 7 straight
years now, and are favorites to do
it again.
The reference is to the 1954-'55
edition of Jack Kiser- Lin
colnton high Wolverettes, who ap-
pear to have championship class
tabbing every movement they
make on the court.
WIN TITLES EASILY
The Wolverettes have made a
shambles of the Western confer
ence girls division race in easily
coping titles the past 7 seasons,
and with most of the regulars from
last seasons championship quin-
tette returning, plus some talented
reserves and newcomers. it is un-
derStandable Why they rate the ia
vorites role to repeat as champs.
The willy Kiser, who has tutored
the WolveretteS to an amazing
string of victories and various
championships that defies the i'm
agination, isn't coming right out
in the open and predicting another
championship-but you can tell by
that inevitable twinkle in his eye
and smiling countenance that he
has confidence in his team and
thinks it has a good chance of
making it 8 titles in a row and
bringing home another trophy to
add to the already over-crowded
trophy display case in the new
LHS gym.
Strongest opposition for the
WolveretteS this season is expected
to come from Rutherfordton- Spin
dale, Tri- High. Cliffside and Kings
Mountain. Rutherfordton- -Spindale
may prove the big test. They lost
only two games last year, both to
Lincolnton.
Last season, the Wolverettes
marched through a 16-game sche-
oule unbeaten for their 7th
straight western conference
crown, and went on to capture the
tournament title.
55 GAME WIN STREAK
They're also starting out this
season protecting winning streak
of 55-straight conference games,
not having tasted regular season
setback since being beaten by a l.
point margin by Newton in mid
season of 1850.
The Wolverette regulars return
ing this year whom Coach KiSelI
is counting upon to set the Of
