WINNIE SPIJIHS The girls' gym classes, under the di- rection of Miss Sorby, have participated in a number of activities during the year. Some of the popular sports were hockey, basketball, modern dancing, volley ball, and softball. The seventh grade rhythms program was a feature of the Christmas cantata. In the Spring the classes enjoyed tennis and bowling. HHEKEY Field hockey is played by all classes in the fall. In seventh and eighth grades, the girls learn the fun- damentals of the game, and ninth graders are de- veloping the speed, agility, endurance, and coor- dination necessary for good hockey playing. Highly competitive games are played after school on our fulI-size hockey field. BASKETBAll We always look forward to the basketball season for the seventh graders are anxious to learn how to play the game, and the ninth graders are learning more of the rules and officiating tech- niques. lnter-class tournaments are held at the end of the season among the seventh, eighth, and ninth grade classes.

EIGHTH GBHDE BHSKETBHLL The eighth grade boys were divided into 4 teams- the Ramblers, Zephyrs, Black Hawks, and Eagles. Our teams were not the most outstanding teams of the city league, but each game played ended in very close scores. Mr. Block coached the Zephyrs and Black Hawks and Mr. Summers coached the Ramblers and Eagles. The interest and attendance of the boys was very good throughout the season At the end of a series of 7 games the Zephyrs were placed in the championship bracket for playoffs. Their rec- ord was 4 games won and 3 lost. In the lower bracket the Black Hawks with 3 wins and 4 losses, the Eagles with 3 wins and 4 losses, and the Ramblers with 3 wins and 4 losses were placed in playoff brackets.
