gfflffettcs THLETICS in the Fredericksburg High School, is one of the most important phases of school work. This phase of school activity is well organized. Every mem¬ ber of the High School is entitled to membership in the Athletic Association. The controlling body is the Athletic Council, which is composed of the Principal- Athletic Director, and the many managers and captains of the vari¬ ous teams. The main sports of the school are: football, basketball and base¬ ball. This year’s football team was very successful; it was, however, not as successful as some of the former teams. Basketball, which has in previous years been practically the fore¬ most sport, had to be omitted this year, because of lack of a gymnasium. Baseball has for the past few years been the most successful of the three sports before mentioned. In 1923 the District Champion¬ ship was won, and the following year the school produced one of the best teams that has ever represented a Fredericksburg school. With the material for a team practically the same as that of last season they are out to make a bid for all honors offered for this season. Now with this explanation fresh in your mind you may without hesi¬ tancy turn the pages and review a few of the participating bodies. —W. S., Athletic Editor. TOW ' [ 84 ]
