SPORTS
The basketball game between the girls of Cherokee and Memorial resulted in Cherokee, represented by 9-2 winning by a score of 19 to 8. This is the second victory by this same team this year.
____________
The seventh grade girls who play nine square basketball had quite ra hard time to determine the winner. 7-3 finaly [sic] succeeded in defeated all other seventh grade teams.
8-3 was declared winner of the eighth grade. 8-2 and 8-6 came in second in this tournament.
In the ninth grade, it was quite difficult to determine the winner. Eliminative tournaments, however, resulted thus: 9-3 third place; 9.1 second; 9-2 first. 9-2 then defeated the winning eighth grade team, won the title of school champions, and repreeented[sic] the school against Memorial where they again met with victory.
____________
9.4, 8-1 and 7-1 were the winning team in boy's basketball in the respective grades for the season.
The ninth grade contest was quite a spirited one. In the finals, nine four, six and three seemed almost equally matched. 9-3 was eliminated first, by receiving defeats from both 9-6 and 9-4. 9-6 then played 9.4, the latter winning. As 9-6 was ahead in the number of victories, they had to play 9-4 again but again were defeated.
9-4 then defeated the 8-1 team.
This victory meant that 9-4 boys were the school champions and that they were entitled to represent Cherokee against Memorial-

EDITORIALS
Several weeks ago we published an appeal to the students of Cherokee in regards to the increased tendency to misuse our building. We hoped that certain evidences of carlessness[sic], in the form of pencil markind[sic] on the walls, eraser dust on the building, scratching on the desks, etc., would decrease; but they seem to re-ppeare[sic] as steadily as removed.
We are fortunate to possess one of the most modern and up-to-date buildings in the state of Florida but we soon will not be able to make this boast if the present rate of vandalism continues. Since we have such a modern building, visitors from all sections of the country are constantly stopping to inspect it and we do not want them to carry away an unfavorable impression of Cherokee.
Each of us as a student Cherokee has a definite feeling of pride wheu[sic] we compare this building with others of the city and state. Let us keep this pride intact for ourselves aud[sic] for future stndents of Cherokee by preserving the equitment[sic] place at our disposal.
