As the spring term begins, our minds turn to the out-of-doors and to athletics. One ot the biggest events ot the second semester is Field Day. After three weeks ot hard practice, each home-room selects contestants tor the events, such as bean bag throw, standing and running broad jump, baseball and basketball throw, and running. A time display ot sportsmanship and athletic ability is accompanied by much enthusiasm from the spectators. Baseball is one ot our spring sports, beginning early in April and holding our attention tor about six weeks. Interest centers around the intra-mural tournament.
