The boys' gym program, under the guidance of Coaches Todd and Boissey, is geared especially for the development of strength, endurance, and flexibility of the individual. In gym classes this year: a group of standardized tests was given and on the basis of the scores a list was posted in the locker room showing how each individual stood in comparison to the rest of the boys in the school. In order to develop skills, special programs of running, volleyball, touch foote ball, basketball, gymnastics, softball, badminton, calisthenics, and weight lifting are set up in gym classes during the appropriate seasons. Emphasis is never placed on physical fittness alone, but also on the feeling of teamwork and co-operation, sportsf manship and fair play, which should be an integral part of every boy's character, Looking back, the seniors will remember Bob Strahota trying to get up on the parallel bars, lvan's phenomenal skill on the apparatus, Spencer's temper, and the cigarettes catching up with some of us during laps and calisthenics.

Among these were fullback Charley lenkins, Ctrcaptains Glynn Xlorris and Les Sheppard, and defenseman lack O,Brien. Many other players ably supported thc squad and did their jobs well. Although the rec- ord itself was not as good as that of last year, the team was at all times supported enthusiastically by the school. l.V. Football The l.V.'s, under the leadership of Coach Col- lins, did not have a successful season as far as rec- ords indieate, but were successful in developing players with potential, who will give their services to the varsity next year. Outstanding players, such as Richie Uuliliy, Bob Curtis, and Don Fiacco, make us sure that .lohn 'lay will continue to have winning seasons ahead, despite the departure of many fine varsity football players this year.
