ANNEX ATHLETIC AssocmT1oN Intra-Mural Athletics At The Annex Athletics at the Annex are especially successful because of student control and student government. The spirit of the school in inter-class competitions has become very keen. Under the student control idea the entire sports program centers in Ll board of athletics whose purpose is to control and direct all activity. The board has an elected president, secretary, and treasurer. The members consist of captains of all sports in each room. There are about Hfty members, from whom are appointed committees and referees. The sergeant-at-arms has charge of Gym during games. Advertising committees and many other committees are appointed by the president for the purpose of keeping everything going smoothly. Under the system used now every room in the Annex which has enough boys to form a team for any of the sports, has entered in at least one of them, so that most of the boys in the school are engaged in some form of after-school athletics, even a room containing only one or two boys has com- bined with another of similar character to form a team. 116

Lines on Losing a Locker Key 1250 words written on compulsionj E You shouldn't lose a locker key, because when you do you have no books, and the teachers give you detention for not having them. When you come to school you have no place to put your coat, and then when you find someone who will let you put your coat in his locker you are always worrying that he might go home and leave your coat in the locker. You also lose a quarter and have to scrape up another one, while during this time you are farther and farther behind in your work. Then you have to get a locker pass and when you bring it down to the janitor to have your locker opened, he grumbles and groans and tells you not to lose your locker key any more, as if you aren't sick of hearing that by this time. Scraping up a quarter, while it isn't such a hard task, it is not an easy one. When you finally do get the quarter you can't get any more money for a while, which makes you wish you hadn't lost the locker key. Finally the locker key is acquired, and as you walk into the classroom with your books everyone has some wise-crack to say such as, What happened! You really brought your books to school. Then you secretly vow you will never again lose that troublesome locker key which is so small but which can get you into a big heap of trouble. james Feeban 659615 Pessimism In The Annex THE TEACHER I think that I shall never see A teacher that looks good to meg For all that teachers seem to do Is to make work for me and you. joseph LeMoine. HOMEWORK In all our days of high school years There is one thing that brings us tears. It is a thing not hard to guessg We like it more when it is less. Now that we have the NRA, Why do they let the homework stay? Bernard Wocbnu. 115
