ge6 THE NINETEEN THIRTY-SIX RETRO lntramural Athletics Intramural basketball proved to be very interesting for many boys in the Junior High School. Each of the twenty-seven home rooms was represented by a team. The seventh, eighth, and ninth grades held tournaments during January and February. The winners were sections 7-3, 8-1, and 9-4. Because of the high interest in these games it was decided to hold another tournament for each grade. The winners of these tournaments were sections 7-6, 8-1, and 9-4. The boys played games between the winners of each section to determine the champion of the school. The results were the same in both playoffs: 8-1 was, and is, the school's basketball champion. The boys on this team are: David and John McBride, Richard Banks, Delbert Knudsen, Jimmie Gagliano, Max Armantrout, Derrel Armstrong, Bob Crawford, and K. Lain. Miss Davis is the sponsor of this section. After basketball, many boys looked forward to wrestling and baseball tournaments. Plans were made to have five boys from each room in live dif- ferent weights meet boys from other rooms in wrestling bouts. It was also planned to have playground ball tournaments in the parks as soon as real base- ball weather came along. Over two hundred and fifty boys took part in the basketball games and nearly three hundred took part in the baseball games. This approached the wish of the school, which was to have every boy who wanted to, and would, take part in athletics of some kind in which he finds interest and fun. Girls' lntramural Volley Ball Play began between the different home-rooms on March 19, with Miss Bassett's room meeting Miss Vose's 9-5 girls. Each home room had between eight or twelve girls on its team. As soon as a team was beaten it was eliminated from the tournament. The teams played for ten minutes and the team having the greater number of points was declared winner. ln the seventh grade Iinals Miss Evans' girls defeated Mrs. Ella D. Thomp- son's group 18-17. Miss McGinty's room won from Miss McDaniel's by a score of 13-10. The ninth grade championship was won by Mrs. Jones' room when they piled up a AZIQ-,10 score. The girls showed good sportsmanship throughout the tournament.
