LETTER WINNERS IN PEP All year long the gym elasses enjoyed intramural sports. Good Weather found them outside on the athletic field playing soeeer or hasehall. During the winter, hasketl'Jall, marching, hadniinton, exercises and other games kept the students in trim. 1. Gotta keep in condition! Mr. Paige led the hoys in musele-developing exercises at the beginning of third period gym. 2. Sound off! Vaughn Munroe had nothing on these marching athletes who were training in timing and eoordina- tion. 3. If grim determination wins games, this contest should have been a tie. Dick Luee and Tom Evans jumped for the ball. 4. VVho needed television? These hoys were as talented in the grunt-and-groan art as Gorgeous George, 5. A flying soinersault by Ted Jay, and what confidence Floyd Reed, on the bottom, displayed. 152
