Its inter-school participation has its beginning in the 5 county athletic meet held at Richmond Dale in the spring of 1921. In the following spring we were represented in four of the events in the Centralia meet, as compared to one in the previous meet. The initiation of football as a high school sport in Clarksburg dates to about 1916 and was re- vised the fall of 1921. That year three games were played. The first inter- school basketball contests did not begin until the year 1922-1923. In 1922 through the efforts of public spirited citizens the Clarksburg community house was completed. This afforded ample room for a basket- ball court as well as other group activities. In the fall of this same year the Board of Education employed the First athletic director in the history of Clarksburg High School. The purchase of an additional plot of ground on the northwest side of the school plant in 1921 gave the much needed space for athletic activities in grade and high school. The grading and tiling of this plot gave Clarksburg a gridiron of regulation size and highly convenient -promoting and encouraging football interests in high school and commun- ity. As a result of these efforts one of the best center tracks, two turns and one-fifth mile in length, resulted. For the field events such as jumping, pole vaulting, the weight events, etc., ample space is allotted and equipment built. , In the fall of 1925 through the efforts of the Parent-Teachers Association playground equipment purchase and installation was inaugurated. The pur- chase of an ocean wave marked the first step along this line. Other equip- ment is to be added from time to time as funds become available. The track, the gridiron, horseshoe pits, horizontal bars, jumping pit and volley ball have a tendency to attract attention of the youngster and teach him clean sports and cooperative playing.

Regard- less of opposition and conditions another scalp was carried from the held of battle, 25-6. Our friend and lighting rival Kingston again this vear attempted to huinhle the linrghers.

The fact that our grid warriors won 50 per cent of their games in the 1923 season indicated the growing strength in this sport. Part of the aggre- gation, however, had to he recruited from the grade school to H11 the ranks. In the 192-1 season only one game was lost. This to Mt.
