When the weather was good in the spring and fall, many of the activities took place outdoors. The basketball court and the large athletic field provided room for basketball, touch football, softball, and baseball, Some of the boys also practiced track events. r Sports were limited to the indoors during the win- ter, some of them were: volleyball, basketball, and table tennis. There are three nice table tennis tables which are located in convenient places, one on the stage and two in the upper hall. There were boys' volleyball teams that played dur- ing the week except on Tuesday, which was reserved for the girls to give them a chance to perfect their skill. There were two teams of girls that took part in this activity. Coach Drummond oversees the boys' games and Miss Norton, the girls' physical education teacher, oversees the girls' games, The scholars of Warrensburg were very fortunate to have these adequate facilities for recreation. 68
