SPORTS AT E. C. H. S. Rah! Rah! Rah! Team! Team! Team! can be heard at all seasons of the year at Ellicott City High. Our Sports Program, we feel, is an exceptionally fine one. Athletics has always played a large part in this school's life, but the years have seen it improved from teams coached by subject matter teachers, to Public Athletic League Coaches, Miss Blanche Drennan and Lee Williams, who came one-half a day twice a week, to two full time instructors who are busy before school, at lunch times, after school, and many nights a week. The success of our program this year is due to our three interested instructors, Miss Mary Elizabeth Lang and Robert Gerrety who succeeded james A. Quinlan who resigned to take a more remunerative position in December. Each student's interests and needs are taken into consideration. Physical examinations by Dr. Theodore Shrop, the Howard County Health Doctor, or by one's own doctor are required for all participants on the various teams. Eye examinations are given by the Physical Education Department. The results are shared with the whole faculty so any eye strain causediby seating arrangements can be corrected. Each student has a health card which is kept up-to-date. First Aid Courses are required fending in a qualifying card for all passers Jin the Seventh Grades with more recent changes taught in the following years. The school has the use of the Howard County Public Health Clinics and the services of Mrs. Noel, one of the Howard County Public Health Nurses. Varsity activities are: GIRLS BOYS Fall .............. .......... F ield Hockey SOCCCI Winter ........ ......... B asketball BaSkCtbal1 Spring .,,, ......... V olleyball TI'3.Ck Softball Softball This year, in most of these sports are found junior-Varsity and junior High teams. An Intramural Tournament in Senior High Boys' and Girls' Basketball stirs up much interest as the Student Council offers plaques to be kept by these winners in their homerooms until the next basketball season. Students can be seen enjoying table tennis, shuffleboard, badminton, tumbling and dancing in different parts of the gymnasium before school, at lunchtimes and after school. Other added attractions are the Faculty-Student games held in Basketball and Volley- ball. The Ellicott City Athletic Association has almost IOOW membership. The dues are one dollar a year, and this enables a member to attend games at reduced rates. Candy and cokes add to the income. All proceeds are added to the appropriation of the Howard County Board of Education to buy much needed equipment and to pay for transportation of teams. School letters and trophies are awarded to team members who have qualified by rolling up the necessary points. These are presented at an assembly held on the last day of school in June.
