5. 5.17, Perhaps the most colorful side of school life is the sports program. But be- sides being a flash of color and a panorama of cheering students, the sports program aims to instill the meaning of physical fitness into the lives of the participants-that physical fitness which has become so increasingly important and often-mentioned today. But sports do more than merely create a realization of what training and care are able to do in the development of a strong, healthy body. The team play which results teaches fight, endurance, the will to win and other characteristics necessary in the game of life as well as the game played. And it is not just the typically athletic boy who receives physical training in our school. Every physically able student has a chance to participate in some sport. Girls' inter-class basketball, girls' field hockey, soccer, softball, badminton, and volleyball are enioyed by everyone in gym classes, and there are inter- scholastic football and basketball teams for those possessing greater athletic ability. Otto, proud of these teams, has gloried in their triumphs and helped bear their defeats. The coaches of these teams, Mr. Kribbs and Mr. Wilcox, have worked hard to round them into perfectly-working machines, and the players themselves have spent wearisome hours in practice, hoping to get in the game and win for their alma mater. lt is with pride that we dedicate the Ottocrat of 1942 to an undefeated foot- ball team, a highly successful basketball team and a well-rounded athletic department. !- g.
