PAGE SIX THE BAKER ROCKET BOYS' P. E. NEWS Necum-volley tennis-and vol- leyball. That is what the boys' gym classes from the third grade up have been playing. Perhaps you didn't know it, but these are all names for nearly the same sport. Necum is played by the third and fourth grades, and it is like volleyball except for the fact that you catch the ball. In volley tennis, played in the fifth and sixth grades, the ball bounces once and you hit it back. And, of course, in seventh, eighth, and ninth grade volleyball the ball is hit back before it hits the floor. To start off the second semester will be track, and finally baseball at the end of the school year. i1 BASKETBALL QUIZ l. When was the game basket- ball originated? 2.

It's eyes and hair match, and although it doesn't look like it in the pictures, it has teeth, too. Some of its favorites are Drag- net and Mexican food. Its hobby is collecting stamps and if hun- gry it will resort to cooking. Can you guess who it is? Turn your guess into the press box in front of the office today. Don't forget to sign your name.

I think I have the answer to your question. As you know tuberculo- sis is a very terrible disease which strikes and kills many people be- tween the ages ot 15 and 35. The money received from these seals is used to buy hospital beds for many people, and finances co- operation in the tax-supported State Health Department surveys. So please buy your share of seals this year, because you can never tell when TB will strike you. Pauline's Beauty Shop 45l7 Ave. F Ph. 53-0825 R. M.

But a game can be won in the minimum of two moves on each side. Chess is usually thought ot as a quiet game, but the anxiety - prone Argentine Chess Champion Miguel Najdort acts as it it were physical torture. Perspiring and twitching, wring- ing his hands, frantically rumpling his hair, he leaps up from his chair after every move. But he's a chess champion! c.,,f,f.f,'. dlfiafsmnify cgfzlofz Shop Us First or Last l306 GUADALUPE BEAL CC. l N T E R l O R S For Those Who Appreciate Fine Things l708 GUADALUPE Phone 8-464i 'T SHOP IN 'OUR NEW GIFT DEPT.
