This letter is the status symbol that is always the unspeakable envy of other boys and a sure date catcher with the girls. V To become a letterman, a football or basketball player must play the equivalent of sixteen quarters unless he is injured or shows remarkable spirit and drive. Baseball and track lettermen are chosen according to ability, interest, and attitude. In any case, HUSTLE is the word. A sophomore must be unusually outstanding to warrant receiving a letter, so the coveted jacket and emblem is usually worn by a junior or senior. The boy who wears the A-E letter is indeed proud. His physicalehealth has contributed to the mental health of the entire student body. l l .4
