The Shot-Put The shot-put is a track event which had its be- ginnings in ancient Greece. Many years later it is still a major Track event. The High School shot is a metal ball weighing twelve pounds. College track teams use the sixteen pound shot. The record for The Canal Zone is 56 feet with a twelve pound shot. In this sequence of photographs, Mike Crosby tries his luck at putting the shot.

Swimming Swimming is not officially organized as an Intramural sport by the Balboa High School Athletic Department. Many students who plan to be on the varsity swimming team keep in shape at the Balboa pool. This is their lntramural sport. The students who use the pool have three purposes. First they wish to develop their stamina and endurance, secondly they want to polish their diving form and swimming strokes. Lastly they want to have a cool dip before hitting the books.
