The visual aid class is for the purpose of deciding what movies will be of the most help to classes in their studies. English classes hear recordings of great speeches, poems, and plays. The shop class where students learn to use their hands as well as their minds and produce many useful and attractive articles. One must know something of the past to prepare himself for the present and the future. The Spanish class not only teaches the Spanish language but acquaints students with the Spanish customs.

Owls Win Valley Six-Man Championship THE LITCHFIELD OWLS under the able training of Coach Milt Berg completed an unde- feated season to walk away with the Valley Six-Man Football Championship. The fast and tricky Blue and Gol d Team had smooth sailing from its first encounter with the Bagdad Thieves to the championship game with the Scottsdaie Beavers. Smooth sailing because the twenty-one boys that made up the Owl team were out on the gridiron from the first day of practice to the final minute of the season, drilling. From the first limbering up exercises until the last minute of playing time in the final game, every man put in hours of work, blocking, running, passing, punting. It was worth it! Not one of those boys is sorry for the long hours spent sweating and working on the athletic field, for in those hours the boys learned what a team stands for — that it isn ' t one or two good players, but the whole group working together that make up a ball club. It wasn ' t only the joy of carrying the ball across the chalk lines or the good feeling at making a hard block or tackle while the crowd yelled and applauded that made the boys out night after night for practice. That feeling is the part of football that is short lived. The real spirit and life of the team is found in the locker room — the before-game dressing and nervous joking and the after-game showers and counting out the score. Comradeship — the feeling of belonging to a team that functions like a well oiled machine, is the root of the boys ' love for football. Long after the cheering of the crowds has faded from the memory, the boys will still remember the locker room and the practice field, for that is where the games were won. come FOOTBALL SCORES Date Owls Opp. Sept. 24 — Bagdad 18 7 Oct. 1 — Wickenburg 35 15 Oct. 8 — Peoria 59 19 Oct. 15— Gila Bend 52 6 Oct. 22 — Bagdad 77 6 Oct 29 — Peoria 118 Nov. 5 — Wickenburg 57 28 Nov. 12— Gilbert 57 22 Nov. 19 — Scottsdaie 31 20 (28)
