JUNE. 1926 7 OUR SWIMMING POOL SPORTS FOR BRYANT JUNIOR HIGH BOYS An unusually keen interest in sport has been shown by the boys of Bryant Junior High during the past year. We have been very fortunate to have Mr. Anderson and Mr. Anaway to direct the energy of the boys along these lines There were so many sports to enter that the boys have been kept busy the entire year. Last fall we started with a tennis tournament which was a great success. The first place was won by Stanley Burdick who also excelled in many of the other sports, and who carried away a beautiful silver cup as the spoils of his victories. At the same time soccer football games were being played by the 7th and 8th grade boys who showed great spirit. In these the winner for the 7th grades was Room 21 1 and for 8th grades Room 205. When the basket ball season opened even greater enthusiasm was shown by the boys. Every room had its representatives. Room 208 won the cham pionship for the ninth grades and 117 for the 8th grades. Good use has been made of the swimming pool and many tournaments were held in which competition has been keen. 208 won in this contest, also. Seven baseball teams were organized by the ninth grades and many games were played to decide the championship. Room 209 holds first place. Diamond ball was played in all grades. Great enthusiasm was shown by the seventh and eight grades while the ninth grades were keeping themselves busy with baseball. Many boys signed for golf tournament which was held at Glenwood golf links. Our horseshoe tournament was especially interesting because we have in our school the world’s champion boy horse shoe pitcher for 1925. Frank Stintson. Hand ball, a new game for the school, is one of the hardest and most difficult as it takes much energy and ability. Many boys practiced for it at Nicollet field. These facts will give you some idea of what the Bryant Junior High boys have done, are doing, and will do in 1926 to give Bryant Junior High a bigger standing in sports. Charles Keljik.
