FOIZ EVERY CADET' 1lUASTLE HEIGHTS is a name to conjure with in the athletic world. The monogram composed of the letters C and H intertwined has been proudly worn by All-American football players, by big league baseball players and by stars in every other line of sport. The boy who comes out on a college athletic field with those letters on his jersey, commands the im- mediate consideration of coaches. just a few years back, one of our football teams invaded the East and played a post-season game with the metropolitan champions of Greater New York. Out- weighed badly, they defeated the New York team decisively. We do not over-emphasize athletics, however, and neither do we subsidize athletes. We believe in building up our teams by developing our boys as they come up through the Junior School and then in the early years of the Senior School. We have a large corps of expert and experienced coaches, composed of some eight men, who bring the boy along carefully but systematically. The backbone of our varsity teams grows up here. A boy gets every opportunity to develop his athletic pos- sibilities to the fullest extent. We believe in athletics, not for the stars only, but for every boy. We believe that a boy who does not taste the joy of victory in some athletic competition misses something worthwhile and a most pleasant ex- perience from his life. The boy who participates in athletics tends to have a better personality and hence is more apt to be successful in life than the boy who does not do so. ONE OF THE FINEST GYM FLOORSIN THE COUNTRY

r ll-l-IE Football season of 1948 was a memorable one in the athletic annals of the Academy. Not since the famous team of 1943 lead by the great Pat Parker have the Tigers enjoyed such a highly satisfactory season-Sparlced by two excellent tail-backs the team lost but one game out of ten and was crowned undisputed champions of the Mid-South Association. The team of 1949 duplicated the won and lost record of the preceding team by going through the season with the loss of but one game. What it lacked in weight and experi- ence it made up in fight and determination. No Heights team has ever displayed better morale and spirit. The fall of 1950 presented the unusual spectacle of the departure of every regular of the previous year. The coaches really had to start from the beginning. The team improved steadily but never reached the heights attained the two previous years. The 1951 and 152 Tiger elevens completed highly successful seasons, losing only two games and placing three men on the Mid-South Conference football team. The 152 eleven fin- ished second in the Mid-South. .THE CASTLE
