ATHLETICS FOR BOYS SHORTLY after the opening of school in September, Mr. Williams issued a call for candidates from the Middle School for the football team, Graduation had weakened the team so much that it was necessary to rebuild it entirely. With Chase, Dewey, Sherer, Higgins, and Stinson, as a basis, Mr. Williams developed a light but aggressive team which functioned well in in- formal scrimmages with school teams of the vicinity. The ice on the rink during the winter was seldom good for skating. The boys spent many periods in the gymnasium playing basketball or working on apparatus. At the gym meet in April, demonstrations were given of jumping the buck, rope climbing, and medicine ball throwing. An innovation at the meet was a series of wrestling bouts by the Lower School boys. The baseball season was in full swing by May. lt was necessary to find a new battery as well as to fill vacancies in the infield and the outfield, but the prospect for a successful season is fair as the BLUE MOON goes to the press. A victory over Pay School, to make up for last year's defeats, is the object of every man on the squad. HENRY PINNY, Class VIH
