'VM' ur nach The perfect combination of mental and physical education has always been sought at Flintridge. But until a few years ago the mental development concept domineered. Then came the era of Coach Leonard V. Lyndon. With an infinite know- ledge of ways and means for physical advancement, he has made Flintridge renowned for its athletes. Now, one will find, youthful Atlases swinging on parallel bars all the while ad- miring their protruding biceps, or mountains of muscle spending hours in the swimming pool trying to break some world record. Kindly look at the pictures at the left. This is typical. Due to excessive exercising on the previous day, Coach often ar- rives at school with that day after look. But then after a gentle work out of perhaps three hours along with his chants pionsf' the head man is as good as new.. BUT notice the fifth photograph closely. It's the result of eight long hours of struggling with the less athletically inclined. Mr. Lyndon is the secret idol of many a Flintridge future champion.

The Spelling Contest This was the only major event which the Seniors lost. Such intellectuals as Chuck Detoy and Lewis Lyon, both Iuniors, gave the Seniors their toughest competition. The words were given by Mr. Dickinson and the spelling was strictly oral. The irony of the situation was that a lowly Freshman placed first and outlasted the entire school. The other representatives of the Freshman class were eliminated tirstg then the Sophomores, the Seniors, and lastly the Iuniors. The Iuniors are still recall- ing this event with delight, for it was the only one in which they beat the Seniors. ik REPRESENTATIVES Senior: Dick Munroe Iames Gamble Ben Earl Iunior: Charles Detoy Lewis Lyon Bill Robbins I Sophs: Al Mitchum Dick Markham Huston Denslow Frosh: Spencer Murray Bob McVay Bob Streander 57
