HALL PATROLMEN By JIM APPELL The Hall Patrol, under the able direction of Miss Mills and Mr. Engberg, now in its second term, has done exceedingly good work. Cutting down on the running in the halls has been its main object this term, although loud talking, eating in the halls, and slamming lockers were also discouraged by the patrol- men. PAGE SIXTY-ONE

fit ft MONITORS ' DUTIES By MARTIN WEINBERGER Stabilizing a difficult and hazardous pro- gram of keeping, to a certain extent, order from the shower room to the Gym lines has been the task faced and met by the present crop of Gymnasium Monitors. This group has maintained a precedent almost too high to reach, but one which has enabled shower numbers to be easily and quickly registered on large and complicated shower cards which are then transferred to the final report cards. During the period that elapses between the ten minutes of the shower bell to the passing sound of freedom, deadline monitors have controlled the many boys that, shall be put it mildly, stall around the ditching line. Still other members of the Burroughs Corps enable the many students of the three gym classes to easily and quickly check out all types of sports equipment. Although monitors patrol almost every minute of the 50-minute long classes, they do it in a manner designed not to make enemies of the many students, but to bring about cooperation between patroller and patrollee. J.B. has an amazing amount of athletic equipment also, and provides the students with a large gymnasium, and scads of base- balls, footballs and every type of a sphere imaginable. This equipment is put to good use in building strong healthy bodies and minds and gives J.B.ites an edge over under- privileged schools. PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHERS Generally J.B. has supported each grade with three gym teachers — one corrective and two normal and regular gym activity groups. However, since the beginning of the present semester the student originally slated to fill out Mr. Wight ' s instructions has found to delight and dismay, Mr. Ogelsby, Mrs. De- lany, Mr. Wilson and many others as the various present term instructors. The man- power shortage has hit J.B., but Mr. Perkins has come to the campus ' rescue and pro- vided J.B. with a third teacher. Mr. Albro Lundy and Mr. George Swarthout are the cooperative veterans of our coaching staff, with Mr. Swarthout maintaining his authority since John Burroughs dawned to the world, and Mr. Lundy recently arriving here from Polytechnic. Instruction during gym periods varies from physical training, which includes exercises or brief trots around the athletic field. Then decathlon takes form as the next means oi physical training, with different events being scheduled for spring and winter terms. They include baseball throw for distance and accuracy, 50-yard dash, broad jump, hop-step- and-jump, football throw for distance, pig- skin punt, etc. Many Burroughsonians, after setting astounding records for Junior High athletes, have gone on to become track and field stars. These include Lloyd Miller, who stars at Fairfax in the 100, 220, and board jump. PAGE SIXTY
