There are many fellows out this year who look as if they could do much to place the team above last year's record. Two boys were elected to share the honor of captain, Bill MacAlpine and Gordon Face, from whom many points can be expected toward a high standing in the city league. press the following boys were the outstanding members of the team: the letter men of last season who are back, Face, who runs the 440 and the 880, MacAlpine in the 100, the 220, and the relaysg and Brummeler in the 100, the 220, and the relays.

Swinging into Action Mr. Mitchell's tennis team was hard hit by the graduating, last year, of all but two boys: Don Frans and Alex Martin. Both are excellent players and can be counted on to win many matches this season. The actual playing team is chosen by the boys' winnings among themselves. They have matches against each other and the ones with the highest standings are the team that plays against the opposing schools. As these matches are going on constantly, any member who can beat the high man becomes the number one man on the team. ln the first match, with Christian, Ottawa won both the singles and doubles. Martin was number one single and Montgomery and jamo the doubles. Don Frans became number one in the singles and in the next meet, with South, he defeated his opponent. Ottawa was defeated in the doubles. In the Union matches Don Frans defeated his opponent in the singles, and jim Montgomery and Bob jamo won in the doubles. TENNIS SCHEDULE Dale Oplbmzezzf Conf!

Masters Endurance The noise in the locker room was suddenly quieted by the shrill blowing of a whistle. Miss Ellinger was clossing the door into the gym as the last few girls came up the stairs. That morn- ing the girls were to play a game of volley ball. Last fall they were playing field ballg this winter, field basketballg and this spring, soft ball. The girls can be heard at the beginning of each period counting 1, 2, 3, 43 2, 2, 3, 4, until they Dorothy Gray, a sev- h ade class 'md Pat and her class are demonstrating exercise three Qwhich is rather dif- ficulty of the girls' physi- cal fitness program. The girls have learned about twenty exercises. have finished doing all the exercises in their phys- ical fitness program. This program and the games the girls are playing is strengthening them for the responsi- bilities which the times place upon them.
