Some have nutured their still young athletic talents into practiced skill while still others have developed their study habits into a form that will be of much benefit to them throughout their Junior and Senior High School years. These students are also chosen on the basis of manners, grooming, personality, school spirit, and many other qualities which, even though they are newcomers, we recognize them as possessing. iii' i '.
