THE SCOTTY. GLASGOW, MONTANA Pagell ATHLETICS RATE GLASGOW HIGH STRESSES ACTIVITY Glasgow High Stresses Activity Athletic training, a factor contributing to the health of any person, holds its place in the foreground of Glas- gow High School activities. Physical education in the junior High School is a continuation of that carried on throughout all the ele- mentary grades. The work aims to protect and improve health, to develop desirable social traits and to promote culture for every boy and girl. The games included in the physical education curriculum are games, sports, rhythms, skills, and self-testing activities. The seventh grade boys and girls have class three times a week, the eighth grade boys and girls and ninth grade girls twice a week. We are fortunate in having two gymnasiums and ample shower equipment and dressing-room space. Miss K. Elizabeth Anderson is director of this de- partment, The girls' classes are taught by Miss Mildred Spaberg and Miss K. Elizabeth Anderson. Mr. Donald Foote has charge of the boys' work. G. A. A. ls Lively Group The Girls' Athletic Association has as its purpose greater interest in sports among girls in Glasgow High School. Many sports are offered, including hiking, skating, coasting, tumbling, basketball, volleyball, and baseball. Official pins were awarded members who took part in the annual Forget-me-not sale for the V. F. W. Other activities of this club have been hiking, both for breakfast and supper, coasting, and skating parties. A valentine masquerade party was held and also a sports day for non- members. Officers for the first semester were Dorothy Corson, president: Leona Covey, vice-president: Imogene Sisson, secretary-treasurer, The following officers were selected for the second semester: Dorothy Turnacliff, president: Mercedes Humphries, vice-president, and Imogene Sis- son, secretary-treasurer. Miss Mildred Spaberg is club sponsor. Junior High ls Organized The Boys' Athletic Club is composed of boys from the seventh and eighth grades. This organization, like the similar one for the girls, is for the purpose of promot- ing good sportsmanship, interest, and activity in the most healthful and recreative games and sports. It aims to promote good habits in the boys, The following boys are members: Stanley Jenks, Stanley Bean, Bob Thill, Clifford McPherson, Norvel Bjorklund, Dick Vegge, Eugene Pender, Eugene Rogers, Robert Corson, Robert Cuniff, Robert Taylor, Christian Gorder, Boyd Rasmussen, Byron Lebert, Spurgeon Turner, Robert Jondahl, and Laverne Kalstad. Mr. Foote sponsors the organization. Toumament Commentators Report Girls who are interested in basketball are divided into three teams in Glasgow High, one for each of the freshman, sophomore, and senior classes. The junior class seems to be poorly represented in girls' basketball but several have been showing their interest in other sports. A tournament was recently held in the old gym to determine which class would have the Iaurels for the school championship. The sophomore and senior class teams are decidedly at a disadvantage, as no substitutes are available for tired players. The freshman team con- sists of enough players for two full teams, and Coach Spaberg has divided the teams in order to make addi- tional competition for the seniors and sophomores, The first game, between the freshmen and sopho- mores was a close, exciting game. The freshmen, a group of fast, straight-shooting girls, finally wrenched the game from the sophomores to the tune of the score, I3 to I2. This victory gave the winners new hopes for their coming game with the seniors. When the game was finally played, the frosh emerged victorious again by a close margin, 21 to I8. Then the seniors, discouraged and tired, but still fighting, went forward to win a sweeping victory over the sophomores, 22 to I3. The girls have had an exciting, fast year, and they look forward to next season which promises to be even more exciting. COMPETENT CLUBS fContinued From Page Nine.J cIub's activities. Tony Hoffman was elected president of the clubg Walker McKellar, vice-president and treasurer, and Paulette Harper, secretary. Nina Martin is their news reporter. Some of the projects carried out by the French club were candy sales given in the main entrance of G. H. S., .a get-together party for the local French people and an Evening in Paris dance, to be held in April and conducted according to French custom. Fred I-Iusa couldn't wait for the ice to break in the river, however, the swim he took in the underpass will prove sufficient for a while. Did you know that: Don Juan is AI Carraia? The Scholar is Lawrence Davis? The Gineral is Gade Johnson? In true-false test: Mr. Straugh: Congress adjourned Saturday. Bunny: Is that the first or second? Mr. Straugh: The seventy-fifth.

MONTANA Hundreds Pass Through Daily 1 GLASGOW'S UNDERPASS The Underpass, Opened in August, l936, Is Greatest Recent Addition to C-lasgow's Comfort and Safety IT LINKS THE NORTH AND SOUTH SIDES OF TOWN AT SIXTH STREET BETWEEN FIRST AVENUES NORTH AND SOUTH The underpass opened in l936 now diverts vehicle and pedestrian traffic at Sixth Street between First Ave- nue South and First Avenue North, thus forming a con- venient and safe passage for the surge of transportation that formerly had to cross the Great Northern tracks. This engineering installation, whichuis briefly de- scribed elsewhere in the magazine, was started in the fall of I935 and was opened for use during the summer of I936. Its construction was inspired chiefly as a safe- guard for the hundreds of school children who now use it daily in their travel to the large Glasgow High School, situated on the northwestern edge of town. lts service to the school is described in the article on transportation. The City and Great Northern officials who backed its construction were concerned with the former menace of having the school children cross the tracks and also with the inconvenience to city traffic. The funds for the project, amounting to about SI2l,000, were obtained from the State and Federal governments under an act which had provided for funds to be available to eliminate grade crossings which intervened between two state or federal highways. In this case the two highways were Federal Highway Number 2, which crosses Glasgow from east to west on the north side of town and the recently constructed Federal Highway to the Fort Peck dam. Not only those who felt responsible for the constant danger present for the school children and those who felt the grief of tragedy resulting from the hazard of the old crossing, but all who use it, appreciate the relief and com- fort of the underpass. The construction provides ample room for lanes for two passing cars and also provides two elevated lanes, one on each side of the car lane, for pedestrians. It is well lighted at night. FACTS ABOUT OUR SCHOOL District number one is one hundred miles in length and varies from six to thirty miles in width. lt covers an area of nine hundred thirty square miles, or it is about three-fourths the size of Rhode Island. Glasgow schools have an enrollment of l,069 stu- dents. The senior high school enrollment is 384 students, junior high and grade school north side 380, and south side, 282,
