Redeemer in Athletics MVS- F- Rem! Rev. J. McAllister, C. Ss. R. ECAUSE of the rapid development of athletics in the Girls' High School its importance added too great a responsibility when combined with the Boys' School so it was deemed necessary to separate the two, each having its own director. As a consequence, Father McAllister, who had the previous year, so cap- ably supervised both departments, was relieved of part of his burden and centered his attention on the development of intramural sports and varsity basketball among the girls. Early in the year, while the gym was free, volley ball Was introduced and proved quite popular. Later, basketball was emphas- ized and much interest and enthusiasm aroused because of the organization of class games. All this was due in most part to the interest and efforts of Father McAllister. Mrs. Rentz once more took over the arduous Work of coaching the varsity basketball team and gave inspiration and practical advice to all intramural sports. The girls are naturally therefore particularly pleased and appreciative for all that Father McAllister and Mrs. Rentz have done to provide for them an organized manner of participation in forms of exercise that were not only interesting but likewise very beneficial.

Redeemer in Athletics Rev. E. Smith. C. Ss. R. Edward V, Crowe HE Boys' High School is singularly fortunate in its possession of the two men responsible for the Athletic ventures of Redeemer, C Father Smith coming to us this year from Grand Rapids has displayed such sincere and co-operative interest and such tireless initiative that we find it diffi- cult to express sufficiently our appreciation. His sympathetic concern and conscientious activity have been an inspiration to the entire student body leaving nothing for us to desire in our ambition to place Redeemer in the most auspicious position in athletic circles. Mr. Crowe, for the second consecutive year a member of the facutly and coach of the various athletic teams has likewise brought distinction to the school by his recent appointment to the Michigan High School Athletic Association, Board of Supervisors. ln this new capacity, Mr. Crowe has been placed in charge of all parochial High Schools in Detroit and has a voice in the making of all regulations pertaining to athletics for the High Schools of Michigan. With such capable and representative men in control of Redeemer's ath- letics, we have every reason to hope for a prosperous era of strong varsity teams and good sportsmanship.

E. Duffy Because of the character of the work performed this group has been known as the Student Athletic Committee. Although but seldom recognized and oftentimes but slightly appreciated the members of this committee performed their several functions with great efficiency and at quite a sacrifice. Studenl Manager It became incumbent upon them to arouse and maintain interest and enthusiasm in all athletic encounters, to advertise the coming games by means of posters and placards distributed about the schools, to encourage attendance at the various contests, write accounts of these games, collecting tickets and taking care of the crowds, arrange for pep meetings and in a word constitute the stimulus necessary for the complete success of anything pertaining to the school's athletics. Edward Duffy, the student manager was chairman of this committee and deserves the commendation and appreciation of the student body for his efforts done quietly and effectively without the glamor and publicity which attend those who actively participate in varsity games.
