Ballou High School - Roundtable Yearbook (Washington, DC)

Sportsmanship is physical endurance, mental determination, and Soulful spirit. It is an integral part of high school life whether it is crashing through the defense for six big points in the championship game, or nipping the basketball toward the backboard in the girls' gym. The daily struggles, frustrations, and tensions of life's challenges somehow release themselves in an athletic event, in that competitive drive, in the desire to win. The Roundtable stalf is proud to present our athletes who, losing or winning, display that strength, drive, and spirit of sportsmanship which are truly the soul of Ballou.

l Yearbook staff Some ofthe last students to leave Ballou in the afternoon are the members of the Roundtable staff. Their time is spent drawing layouts, writing copy, and stamping pictures, and in attempts to meet posted deadlines. Mrs. R. Francis Allen, mother, teacher and yearbook advisor, deserves special credit for the long hours she put into the production of this book, both at school and at home. Although the staff suffered many setbacks, disappointments, and headaches, their desire to produce a good exciting book kept them going.
