BASEBALL For the past two years the American Legion has sponsored a Junior- Senior Baseball League for high school boys during the summer vacation. This has aroused a great deal of interest in the sport and developed ma- terial for the high school varsity. Under the efficient coaching of Mr. Cly, the team completed a very succesful season, winning seven victories and suffering two defeats.

MISCELLANECDUS SPGRTS SWIMMING This is the first year we have had a swimming team from our school participat- ing in inter-scholastic meets. While no meets were won, interest was aroused and with most of the team back next year, prospects for a more successful season are good. The members of the team were Raymond Carson, John Noble, Albert Fox, Jack Charn- ley, James Charnley, John Jones, and Vyron Johnson. Mr. Cly and Robert Hogan super- vised the team. INTRA-MURAL BASKETBALL NOON GAMES In order that more boys might participate in basketball, a series of games held during the noon hour was inaugurated. Two leagues, Junior and Senior, were formed. Each league was composed of ten teams of eight men each. The round-robin system of competition was used. At the close of the regular season, an elimination tourna- ment was held. In the Junior League the Greyhounds were victorious, in the Senior League the Pirates came out ahead. These games were under the supervision of Mr. Cly and were officiated by William Larmore and Dick Ducy. CLASS TOURN EY Following the Noon Game Tourney, a class tournament was held. Teams were formed by each class from the 7B to the 12A, inclusive. The four teams from the seventh and eighth grades played a practice tourney before their regular one. In their final round, the 8A's defeated all others for the title of Junior Champion. In the Senior tournament, the team from the 12A group, coached by Donnie Casterline, right handily won the title of champion. PING-PON6 Ping-pong, a game introduced to the student body last year, found increasing popularity this year. When a tournament was announced, about thirty-five boys signed up. The three tables were kept in constant use during the noon hours for three weeks. All were finally eliminated except Wilbur Pickle Willman and Clyde Lefty Fulton. In the play between these two artists, Willman finally won and now wears the title of Ping-Pong Champion.
