In order to win a chevron which is awarded for physical efficiency, a girl must have earned at least one hundred and seventy-five points in Gym for the previous semester. Points may be carried over from one semester to another, but no girl may receive more than one monogram a semester or receive one of the same point-value twice. A grade of A in Gym counts fifty points, B, twenty-five points, and C, ten points. Other merits which go to make up the required total are decathlon, good posture, hygiene, special service, perfect attendance and no tardiness, nutrition, marked improvement in corrective gym, and return to regular gym class from corrective. Playing on a team and playing on the winning team also have a certain point-value. Demerits are given for unsportsmanlike conduct, use of cosmetics, untidy personal appearance, tardiness to roll call, and discourtesy to classmates and teachers. Every girl who earns one of these chevrons reflects honor upon herself, the Department of Physical Education, and Le Conte Junior High School, which the monogram represents. If 95 l

CHAMPION TEAM OF HOME ROOM 217 Sports at Le Conte At the beginning of the Fall school term the prospects for a successful athletic year were somewhat dim because of the graduation of some of Le Conte's best athletes. A few weeks later, however, the announcement that an after-school football league was to be formed was received with joyous excla- mations by the sport-loving boys of Le Conte. A week later the promised football leagues were organized for all classrooms wishing to enter. There were three leagues organizedfone for the seventh, another for the eighth, and one for the ninth graders. Each league, it is needless to say, was a great success, because of the splendid spirit displayed by the home 1'0oms. Some teams proved stronger than others, but every team entered every game with the idea of playing hard and trying to win fairly. Quite naturally a few teams in each league displayed superior skill and used it to better advantage than others, with the result that the pennant race was soon narrowed down to a few teams in each league. In the seventh grade the leading teams were 209, 122, 117, and S201, and at the end of the league it was found that the first three above-mentioned teams still had l'championship games to play. An elimination contest was held. with the result that 209 came through with flying colors. ln the eighth-grade league Bungalow V won the pennant without losing a single game. This distinction was very difficult to obtain for there were many bigger teams playing against Bungalow V, but by splendid co-operation and spirit this team of good little fellows won out, and for that reason Le Conte is glad to welcome them as some of its real champions. The ninth-grade race was the most hotly contested ever. From the start of the league to the finish, the championship was certain to go either to 127 1931
