44 THE ROSTRUM FREDDIE BLAKE, C. F. Freddie, voted the outstanding ath- lete of the school, has proved himself well worth the praise he receives. And that build! lle makes 'em swoon! tWorse in Sinatra.! His left-handed shooting can't be stopped, and he crouches like a panther. Ileis done a lot to bring Guil- ford to the top in basketball. Prominent outside of basketball too, he has been president of his class for two years and will probably be drafted for a third term. He excels in other sports too. jo11N LEATIIEHS, L. G. with number 18, is no jinx to the basketball team. His swell defensive playing has made him an outstanding member of the squad. His height makes it possivbles for him to take the ball from the oppouentis blackboard and start the Panthers, olfensive. Remaining in the guard position on the offensive, he al- lows the other four to close in on the basket and keep the net hot. However, his ability to sink the long shots has also proven to us that he, too, is capable of scoring many points. He also takes his place with good students and is a good friend to all. INTERCLASS BASKETBALL Six games were played for interclass basketball this year. The first between the Seniors and Freshmen was won by the Seniors, 55 to 19. The second, be- tween the Iuniors and Sophomores, found the Sophomores on top, 48 to 25. The third game again showed the Sophomores a better team, for they beat the Freshmen 53 to 20. The Seniors de- feated the Juniors in the fourth game by a score of 58 to 10. The consolation game between the Freshmen and Iuniors placed the Fresh- men as third best team in the school. They won by a score of 18 to 15. The championship game was the best of the entire set, and, after a hard fought bat- tle during which Cross, the Senior star, was fouled out, the Sophomores upset the favorites and 'beat the Seniors 35 to 34. It was one of the best games of the whole basketball season! PHYSICAL EDUCATION Physical Education was started early in the fall and lead by Fred Blake under the supervision of Mr. Clark. It con- sisted of running and calisthenics and was held out-of-doors as long as the weather permitted. The classes then were held in the gym. The purpose of this program is to make the boys better fit when they enter the armed forces. It will be continued throughout the school year and will be held outdoors again in the spring. BASEBALL Baseball will probably be resumed this spring, as it has for years past, al- though there will not be as much com- petition as usual due to the present con- ditions. We have some good baseball material among our boys, and we hope to have a good team. GIRLS' BASKETBALL Gllzcmfgnn. Tea Date 24 27 Foxcroft tthere! Ian. 4 88 19 Milo tthere!

INTERCLASS BASKETBALL The Juniors couldnit recruit enough girls to make up a team for interclass, so the Freslnnen, Sophomores and Sen- iors -battled it out. The Sophomores and Seniors had the best material, so with- out any question the Freshmen were eliminated the first game. The Sopho- mores defeated them 28 to 4. The Sen- iors and Sophomores then fought it out in the championship game March 17. The Seniors were the victors and there- by school champs. The score was: Sen- iors 26. Sophomores 11.
