The faculty referred to as animal trainers had their heads imposed on draw- ings of circus performers.

Hockey appeared as a new sport open to Griffin students but seems to have had a very short season. Their record was l-1. The varsity football team was once again on top and took both the City and Conference Champion- ships. Both the varsity basketball and baseball teams had disap- pointing seasons, with 9-15 and 7- l l records respectively. The gradu- ating seniors were pictured in full color in the yearbook for the first time.
