What does that call to your mind? lt may be eleven sturdy men, every muscle strained, every Hbre tense, waiting for a signal to carry a ball to victoryg it may be tive clean-cut fellows playing with the precision and rapidity of a machineg it may be speeding, white-clad runners coming down the home stretch with the determination that wins on their faces. Hitherto, athletics in High School have meant success. This year we mean to emulate our previous examples and win new laurels. To do this resolves itself upon the boys and girls of the Johnstown High School. Come out for the teams, come to practice and encourage the players, join the Ath- letic Association, and, if you can't play, show your school spirit and cheer the wearers and defenders of the black and pale blue to victory ! .
