The San Miguel student tries to attain, in addition to intellectual proficiency and extra- curricular adeptness, a skillful and developed body. It is the attempt and goal of each student to fulfill the old adage, A sound mind and a healthy body? The athletic program of San Miguel, during the past year, has given the students ample opportunities to participate. From football to swimming, a wide and various field of sports has been offered. Throughout this year there have been losses of many contests that the student body and players have witnessed. With each loss they have experienced sorrowg with each victory, joy, Body development, however, has not been the only subject of each game or meet played against our league members. No matter what the outcome of the contests, at the end, there has always been a new strengthening of char- acter and a better understanding of sportsman- ship. The development of these last two qualities in each individual will, in no small part, deter- mine his future place in society. N

The game ended with Mountain Empire the victor, 26-0. The second engagement on the calendar was with our cross-town rivals, Brown Military, The Knights took the hall on the opening kickoff and drove down to the enemy twenty yard stripe, only to he stalled hy penalties. The next San Miguel drive was cnt short hy an intercepted pass, which Brown turned into a quick touchdown. Ames hroke through to hlock the P.A.T. attempt, and the score stood Brown 6, San Miguel 0. Early in the second half Tyson recovered a fumhle in the Brown hackfield, hut the Knights were unahle to capitalize on their hreak. Brown continued to move the hall well, and the ground game domi- nation that had helonged to San Miguel in the first half was now Brown's. Despite a pass interception hy Coutts, and persistent running hy Lynds and Fletcher, the Knights were unahle to tally. The game ended with San Miguel on the short end of a 25-0 score.
