The famous charge of the Rough Riders during the Spanish
American War was actually on Kettle Hill, not San Juan Hill, which is
nearby, but has a better name.
The first woman governor in the
United States was Nellie Tayloe
Ross of Wyoming in 1925. She was
also the first woman to head the
U.S. Mint, from 1933 to 1953.
The universe is true for all of

HARPER TENNIS
by Sheri Evanoff
Harper tennis team
traveled to Medina for a
tennis match on March 29.
The Doubles boys,
Clinton Wallace and Jason
Platzner, won their match
quite handily.
In singles, Kim
Platzner, won her match
along with Joe Montoya
winning his singles
match. Adam Ward bout out
his match and lost.
The Doubles girls, Kim
Platzner and Mignonne
Marschall, lost a tough
doubles contest. Remain-
ing team member Jennifer
Malsbury did not compete
due to scheduling con-
flicts. Coach Rose Buxton
thinks the doubles are
stronger. "Doubles should
do good. It just depends
on who they play first,"
said Buxton.
