PHYSICAL TRAINING AND ATHLETICS Mr. Davis Collister As our coyrses in the regular curriculvm tend to develop the mind, athletics are taught to develogp the body and train the mind to act quickly. Reading that some students are unable to play in the major sports of Foot- ball, Basketball, and Baseball, tllis department tends to develop alertness by such games as volley ball, hand ball, wrestling, tumbling, boxing, hori- zontal and parallel bars and mat work during the winter in Uhe gymnas- ium. Our football team this past year had a very successful season and had the opportunity of playing night football under the lights for the first time at Lakewood. Our captain, Cailo l-.asca was considered one of the lhardest hitting' tackles in Western New York. The squad for the season was as folllowus: C. Nasca, Capt. N. Patcrnostro R. Lathrop C. Wenbonne C.
