Before getting into the Dragons Athletic Club every prospective member must take an oath and promise to keep up the aims of the club. The aims of the club are: first, to insure a real school spirit by creating a closer friendship: second, to bring about an understanding of the fundamental rules of athletics and physical education: and third, to co-operate with the school in physical education and the athletic program. This clubl was organized in the year 1938 because many boys felt that they wanted more athletics and gymnastic activities to build up their bodies than could be given to them in a regular physical education class. With the present situation confronting us, America needs more physically fit youths. More established clubs like the Dragons Athletic Club would help make better bodies. During the year 1941-42k the Dragons Athletic Club was a club of high standardg they participated in many athletic contests including floor hockey, basketball, and boxing. The Dragon Athletic Club played many small independent teams like Cairo and Bath Township. l The main attraction of the club, however, was to take a number of boys out of their group to the American Legion Amateur Boxing Tournament. After the fights were all over the Dragons Athletic Club was victorious in winning the flyweight, light heavyweight, and heavyweight titles. MILTON KAMIN 197.-

I'll ask her where she got it. I imagine she bought it soniplace. Maybe I can get one of them. Pardon me, but would you tell me where you got the C ? Of course, but it is a long story. VJi1l you have time? Yes, please explain. When I was in the ninth grade, my girl friend, who was the athletic type asked me if I would join the G. A. A, with her as I had joined every other club with her. I asked her to tell me about the G. A. A. before I joined. Remember I was just an inquisitive freshman. We settled down for a long chat. Vv'ith much patience she explained that the G. A. A. stands for Girls' Athletic Association, composed of all girls. These girls participate in sports during the noon hour and after school. Since I was a very curious sort of person, I promised to attend the next meeting. At the next meeting I signed up for a number of sports. Later on I helped with the concession stand and sold candy, hot dogs, pop, and popcorn at the games. The next week our basketball games started: and, of course, I was on the team known as the Aimers. We won the championship, but we really had a tough time of it. I participated in all the available sports during my fresh- man year. Since I enjoyed it so much the iirst year, I continued my membership the next year. But wait-I'm getting ahead of my story. At the end of the iirst year a banquet was held, and they awarded C's like the one on my sweater. Medals and numerals were also given to all those who had earned enough points. Ten points are given for every game participated in and one hundred points for making the interclass teams, Since this is a very interesting organization I joined every year. In my junior year I received this letter which I proudly display. This year I am trying to get a chevron which represents fifteen hundred points. Well, I guess I have explained everything to you. I must be on my way. BETTY FOLK ..,9 9..
