(Stria Atljlrttra HJartha Balbwin ) v Sprint firitemm 1Ei,rtorB We have all noticed that among the popular boys, the athlete generally claims first place, so among the girls. The athletic girl is usually more popular than any other type. On the fifth of October the girls began their gymnasium work for this year. As instructors we had Miss Mosher, who has been with us for' several years, and Miss Watkins, her new assistant. In the second week of October we began hockey, and although no teams were organized we enjoyed our hockey games in the gymnasium classes. When the cold weather arrived, we were forced inside, and hence we changed our entertainment from hockey to basket-ball. On the ninth of November the room teams began their practice. After a month of practice the inter-room games began. It was unusually early to commence the games, but on account of the mid-year promotion, we desired to complete the schedule before the promotion took place. The games this winter were some of the best basket-ball games we have had. Although sometimes they were rather rough, yet there was great excitement and much fine playing. It gives the Seniors great pleasure to claim the championship. They go out with a more friendly feeling toward the school than as if they had been defeated by their inferiors in their last year at high school. As usual the Junior Reds defeated their old rivals, the Blues. The Seniors won every game and the Junior Reds lost but one. Room 21 made the best showing of the Sophomores, while Room 41 won the championship among the Freshmen. On Friday evening, February the twenty-sixth, was held the Ninth Annual Gymnastic Demonstration. The performance was a pleasing success and much credit must be given to Mr. Lewis, Miss Mosher and Miss Watkins, who spent many toilsome hours training those who took part. We wish especially to mention the fine work done by the boys, because we feel that it surpassed anything we have had for several years. The first two weeks in March the interclass games were played. The teams were very evenly matched in most of the games, and most of the scores were very close. The result was as follows: (1) Juniors, (2) Seniors, (3) Freshmen, (4) Sophomores. So although the Seniors won the inter-room championship they were surpassed by the Juniors in the inter-class games. At the end of March the basket-balls were laid aside and a track meet was held. The meet was quite a success. The events were: 50 and 75 yard dashes, distance throw, traveling rings, running high jump, running broad jump, and goal throw. Room 21 won the meet among the upper-class teams, having entered seventeen girls. Marion Wood was upper-classs athlete with thirty-two points to her credit. Room 41 won the freshmen class meet. They entered sixteen girls. Elizabeth Grun was freshman athlete with thirty-two points. The winners of the first four places in the freshmen meet were: (1) Elizabeth Grun, 32 points; (2) Irene Esch, 30 points; (3) Roselyn Meltzer, Adeline Lavine, 21 points; (4) Lois Seith, 20 points. After the track meet the weather became so warm that we could no longer remain inside, and so we brought out our balls and bats and commenced base-ball. It took a few weeks to get in practice, but after we did get started we had some very interesting baseball. At the close of this another year, and the Seniors’ last year, we wish to thank Miss Mosher and Miss Watkins for their unceas-in effort to help us, and we want to wish them the greatest good fortune in the future. Our best wishes go with Miss Mosher as she leaves us and are with Miss Watkins as she remains with us. 31

Xtrtnt Athlrttr0 TRACK The Cross-Country Run Our gym teacher and track coach, Mr. Lewis, started a new thing in the Central track squad by having a cross-country run. The course was as follows: Beginning at Adelbert College athletic field, cross country to the Cedar Ave. Y, down Cedar to 55th St., to the Central Gym. Leonard Parker, a dark horse in Central Track circles, wfon, making the required course in 15 min. 5$ sec. Vende-land finished a close second, making it in 16 min. 1 sec. The other prize winners finished as follows: Ferrier, Rivard, Pecha, Dobrick, Chandler, Seith, and Steward. The last three to finish, A. Miller, Prochaska and Kaftel, were handed a nice, red bottle of catsup. Here’s hoping they will profit by their experience and “ketchup” before the next run. The starter was Dr. Von Stein of W. R. U.; timer, Sol. Weinberg, a graduate of Central now attending Reserve; judges, Mr. Ruete-nik, Mr. Green, Mr. Blaser and Mike Hayes. It spoke well for the runners when it became known that our gym instructor who rode a bicycle down the course, could not keep in touch with the first man. THE INTER-CLASS MEET The annual inter-class track meet was held Saturday morning, May 1st, at Western Reserve University athletic field. The Seniors won the meet by massing up a total of 47 points. The Sophomores ran them a close second and secured 43 points. Next came the Juniors with 22, while the Freshmen footed the list with 18. Russell Davis, our husky shot putter, succeeded in smashing the High School record by making 41 ft. 5Vfc in. From this result we are highly confident that Davis will make a creditable showing in the Quad meet. Yogovone succeeded in tying the record for the 100 yard dash, making it in 10 3-5 seconds. James Ferrier, a Junior, won the title of school athlete by one point. Howland, Cheatham and Garrett ran him a close second with 12 points each. Most of the events were hotly contested, except the 220 yard dash, which Garrett easily ran away with; and the mile run, in which Ferrier far out-distanced his opponents. Leo Johnson, who has been a low hurdler, pulled a surprise by turning high hurdler and winning first place. The results of the meet: Mile run—Ferrier (J.) won, Vendeland (S.) 2, Rivard (S.) 3, Welker (S.) 4;Time, 5: 12 3-5. 100 Yard Dash—Yogovone (S.) won, Garrett (S.), 2, Johnson (S.), 3, Cheatham (F.) 4.
