If1tf211'I1l11'2l1S , , , Everyone cm Athlete Every Archer fellow can take part in athletics at South Side through the fast-moving Intramural Program, under the guidance of well-liked Louis A. Briner and jolly Wayne Scott. Almost every boy is sports-minded, and since only a few boys are capable of making the varsity squads, 'mural ac- tivities give them opportunities to display their skills in varied athletic activities. This program also gives the boys a chance for recreation after a long, hard day of studies is over. The participants are given a fair chance, for competition is divided according to three weight divisions, light, middle and heavyweight. Some of the popular activities are tag football, basketball, track, softball, tennis, golf, bowling, volleyball, and wrestling. Yes, every year, the South Side boys have a great time in intramurals! 29

A numeral is awarded to the girl who earns 300 points. With 1500 points, a letter is presented and with 2000 points, a pin. Each year the girl with the highest number of points is honored by having her name engraved on the placque that hangs in the gym office. GAA was established not only for fun, but to make girls better physically, mentally, and socially. The GAA fills its date book each year by beginning with speedball.
