Monticello March Madness

Old School

Though a little burg, with a mere population of 677 and only 69 students in its high school, Monticello raises its head with pride over the athletic record of its prep school for the past year. The "Striped-Jerseys" are the wonders of Wisconsin for 1921-22.

Monticello won first place in the Wisconsin state inter-scholastic track and field meet for Class B schools at Madison. It captured first honors in the sectional track meet at Platteville Normal School. It took first laurels in the tri-county track meet at Monticello.

In Basketball, Monticello captured first place at the Beloit College. Its most one-sided score of the season was a win of 117 to 3 over

Brodhead high.

Its football team last fall had an

excellent record.
