0 Commercial Rooms These rooms are so equipped that one teacher may teach two classes at one time. This is made possible by a glass partition between the two rooms. Room 1 9 is the Mechanical Drawing room. General Business is also taught in here by Mr. Wheatley. Industrial Arts is taught by Mr. Petersen. There are 18 mechanical drawing desks. Room 20 is the Typing room. In this room are combination desks. They can be opened up. displaying the typewriter when ready for use. When they are closed they are junior office desks. There are 22 typewriters. 12 of which are Royals, and 10 Underwoods. For this reason a student learns to operate two different kinds of typewriters. Mr. Wheatley teaches three typing classes, bookkeeping, and stenography in room 20. Stenography consists of shorthand one period five days a week and typing one period three days a week. Both rooms have built-in cabinets. In room 19 they are used for industrial art equipment and in room 20 for typing books. There arc built-in drawers and shelves in which supplies arc kept.

Basketball Team This year's team played 35 games during the season including tournament games. Of this number, they won all but five. They have scored a total of 1 425 points while our opponents have made 865. We have averaged 40.7 points per game and our opponents 24.43. The Clay City team won a Blind Tourney at Noble on New Year's Day. We won the M. T. C. Tourney at Clay City January 30. 31. and February 1. The team has a perfect record in winning all of their conference games. Out of the 35 games, three were lost to Flora, one to Paris, and one to Mt. Carmel. The team has been slowed down a lot by sickness and accidents throughout the season. One member of our team has won state-wide recognition by his scoring ability. He ranks second in the state with 5 1 3 points in 30 games. We are especially proud of one of our trophies which is a sportsmanship trophy presented to us by the Clay County Advocate for showing the best sportsmanship at the Midland Trail Tourney. Clay City played in the Regional Tournament at Flora, where they won second place. This gave them the chance to play in the State Sectional at Law-renceville where they lost the first game to Mt. Carmel in a closely fought contest. Losing just two players, the team looks forward to a great season next year. Thr Ctaytonian Pnyr riyhtrrn

The Gymnasium In the rear center of our building is located the gymnasium. It will comfortably seat five hundred on the bleachers: an additional three hundred may be seated on the movable bleachers on the stage. Besides being used for basketball games, the gym is much in demand for community affairs as well as serving its purpose in connection with the school. Under the bleachers is located the varsity dressing room, while under the stage we have the girls' dressing room on the west, and the boys' physical education dressing room on the east. Each dressing room is complete with showers, lockers, lavatory, and other facilities that go to make up a complete dressing room. On the floor, courts for lawn and paddle tennis, volleyball, and badminton are marked off. On the north and south sides of the floor are shuffle-board courts. We also have a large supply of game equipment to be used in the gym. The games that we have and that are used in the gym classes are: softball, volleyball, basketball, gym drills, apparatus (consisting of high and low parallel bars, spring board, high horse, and stall bars), tumbling, pyramids, badminton. boxing, golf, handball, shuffle-board, and tennis. We believe that our gym is near perfection, and we are very proud of it. The Clayianian—Page twenty
