Before we had passed many days here, we began to feel a little of this Culver spirit that we had heard so much about. lve were not only learning how to play the game cleanly and fairly, but we were also learning to enjoy watching others play, which is a great asset to the full understanding and enjoyment of the spectator. Through our intramural sports we developed within ourselves a keen sense of rivalry and desire to win. ive found they gave us a chance to see our instructors as they really were. It was also because of these sports that a strong feeling of loyalty to our companies rose within us, and the regimental athletic plaque was our sought- for goal. For those of us who were more skilled in certain sports there were the sixteen varsity sports in which we could participate. ive were sure of receiving competition worthy of us with the other members of the Midwest Prep Conference. In these sports, for those of us who did not participate, was the chance to learn to watch and enjoy competitive games.

Through this we could find some sport that held more interest for us than others, and what was even more pleasing was the fact that there was no pressure put on us to participate in athletics if we did not so desire. Our athletic program was divided into four group- ings: the basic instructional courses, the intramural competitive sports, the varsity sports, and leisure time l
