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

BEFORE ' OF Nlh Since each of you can’t be nine or ten places at once (it isn’t done), the Black- hawk has compiled a sort of album of pictures to let you know what goes on before your learned preceptors call their classes to order. A characteristic scene is that “airplane” shot look- ing down to the corridor. Some are just arriving, some wandering indolently through the halls; others are perfectly content to just stand and talk. While the less studious roam the halls, many prefer the peace (?) of their home rooms, where they can com- plete their day's work. The girls seem to have their “noses to the grindstone,” intent upon getting some- thing done. Miss West, left, English instructor and Miss Buria- nek, history instructor, ar- rive at school with contem- plative looks on their faces. Hope it isn’t a test they’re pondering over! The student body really does love dear old D. H. S.,
