Seventy-two P0ll'l That group of students, the athletes, who so unselfishly devote their time and energy to the honor of the school, are represented in this section of the yearbook. No one but an athlete can appreciate the hard Work and number of injuries suffered in playing football, the long endurance sessions of the track-man and swim- mer, the many hours spent in learning and perfecting gymnastic exercises, and the constant striving for im- provement of play on the basketball court, baseball dia- mond, tennis court, and golf links.
