Away from the glamor and glory of varsity basketball, football and baseball lies that group of activities classed as “intramural sports.” They furnish the fun for the fellows and girls willing to devote extra time to the pursuance of sports of a lighter nature. However, wrestling, morning basket- ball. fencing and apparatus are included in the boys’ program, which is under the direction of Mr. O. E. “Johnny” John- son, boys’ gym instructor. Also on his schedule are badminton, handball, vol- leyball and baseball. Primarily for acrobatically inclined males, the Gym club was tried experi- mentally by the girls during the spring. Many other activities are also handled by both boys and girls. The April 3-4 INTF Gym Circus featured about 600 students, most of them brilliantly cos- tumed. Highlight of the November gym program was the Gym Fest, de- signed primarily to en- courage wrestling. Co-ed parties on Tuesday and Friday are always well attended. Health lectures were introduced to both boys’ and girls’ gym classes. Mr. Johnson gave talks and conducted informal discussions during the periods set aside for the boys’ health talks. Under the direction of Miss Gibson, girls’ gym teacher, a sizeable sports library has been compiled for the 1100 girls under her supervision. Part of the girls’ proceeds from the annual Gym circus is used to further this collection which is one of the most complete li- braries of its type in this area. 24

The results of the discussions are reported to the respec- tive home rooms where they are again dis- cussed. In other words the council acts as a go-between for the student body and Mr. Naumann. During the winter many of the “auds” were sponsored by these student-elected representatives and in the spring semester there was a conference held at D. H. S. con- sisting of representatives from Muscatine, Keokuk, Burlington, Clinton, Rock Island, East Moline and Moline.
