The purpose of the gym club is to prepare its members for participation on the school's gym- nastic team and to develop its members under the motto, A strong mind in a strong body. ludging from the teams performance in past years, we would say that the club has success- fully realized its goal. The club was originated in l9l3 by Dr. Otto Koenig. Then in 1939, the club's direction was taken over by Mr. Plag and since 1951 has been under the supervision of Mr. Seitz. The members of the club practice many hours on the parallel bars, horizontal bar, side horse, long horse, and rings. The club practices every morning before school and twice a Week after school. Here's hoping the club continues to function successfully in the future years and continues to produce championship gymnastic teams.

QU! Paced by last year's lettermen, Gahen, Wolff, and O'Neal, this year's Soldan-Blewett golf team swung into action against Beaumont. The early form of this year's team composed of I-lolt, Lewis, Gahen, O'Neal, Spence, Litzman, Gilbert, Spiegelglass, and Wolff, showed many hours of diligent driving and putting practice. The schedule this year shows the boys meeting the public high school teams as well as many county teams. They are, however, without any league organization this year. Coach Plaq, who keeps a watchful eye on his hill and dale men, feels confident of a successful season. The entire school will look forward to the golf team adding its usual number of laurels to the name of Soldan-Blewett. Eighty-two FIRST ROW: Holt, Lewis, Gahen O'Nea1. SECOND ROW: Spense Litzinan, Gilbert, Spiegelglass, Wolff, Mr. Plag.
