A different slant is needed when one tries to forecast our basketball success, for in the past many great teams have come from the Y Hi. Our small, but fast, team keeps the games exciting with more thrills than a trip to the moon. This year we have the ball team to go to state, do we have the school that wants to send them there? Baseball comes next in line, and after being cooped up in school all winter its a welcome relief to get out on the old ball diamond.

As yet, no definite setting has been decided as to which division our basketball team will be in, but they are working on that now. The following players will further exhibit their ability on the basketball courts: Don Broadhead, one of last years guards, will be back this year to really show his stuff. Jim Rawlings was another one of those outstanding guards we had last year, and really knows his way around the courts as a tough defense player.

Coach Crowton and his crew of huskies have a good many plans up their sleeve, and are working steadily and determinedly to see that they are realized. Coach Crowton says that we will be staying with our same T formation this year. It seems that the boys went for it in a big way, last year, and by the end of the season were working with clock like precision. This year the team will also be helped by Eddie Kimball and his University Cougars who are playing football again, the first time in a number of years. A number of changes have been for the footmade in the line-u- p ball team this year. Vern Whatcott, end last year, is playing y, quarter back this year.

Other promising players back for the season are Jim Rawling, Don Tibbs, Bob Swenson, Merrill Strong, Harold Christensen, Grant Brockbank, George Olsen and Jay Ballif. The prospects for a really great football team and an exciting football season are good. Student body support, pep band, cheerleaders are all things that will help a team of determined hardworking Wildcats to be victorious on the football field.

A student council is formed of the student body officers and class presidents of both Junior and Senior high, and two members of the faculty who are appointed by the principal. The student council meets once a week to plan or apactivities. prove According to the constitution of B. Y. High, the council has the power to: 1. Grant charters to clubs and organibations of the school. 2. Has charge of financing activities. 3. Make recommendations to the student body on any point thought desirable for the school welfare. 4. Aruthorize the president to appoint any committee thought desirable for any responsibilities which the council is authorized to exercise. 5. Make and enforce any rules necessary for the betterment of the school. The student council plans and approves the dances and extracurricular activities for the entire student body. So you see the students really govern themselves with the approval of the faculty. Crossroads extra-curricul- ar Assemblies (Continued from Page 2) Richardson intends to professional stenographer.
