Almost every department of the school took some part in making the musical play a success.

Every girl on a team, is our motto, said Mi's Marguerite Shepard, pltysieal education director. We have no system of selectivity whereby only the most skillful players are chosen, and though we do not develop highly polished trams, we do give every girl a flutter to play. Because the I‘ink leant ut basketball won every game it played during the season, it marked itself as distinctive. The girls on this team were l . Harjcs (Capt.). R. Set lick. J. Pana baker, E.

Few people realize that intra-school boxing in FJ.I5 has outstripped basketball anti track Kith in (urticipant and Spectator interest, or that it has become in many sections the most popular sport except football. In many smaller selaxils. wlwrc powerful football teams arc impossible lioxitig is even bettering the gridiron sport. In the classical atmosphere of historic Central High school Jinxing enthusiasm has risen to the intensity of a craze. The sport of boxing is beginning to heeonio a part of the traditional atmosphere of the school. The following, in short, is what lias been accomplished in fisticuff way this year here at Central Early in April eight school champions were crowned in senior high and a like number in the junior high Oiamp-i ns of the senior division are as follows: John Brylcr, Joe LaBella. Frank Masino, Nick Justo. Joe DiSalvo. James Flynn, Tom Motisi, and Steve Chiovcm Honorable mention should be made of the outstanding individual accomplishment made by Jim- DiSalvo who won every bout lie engaged in except one by a technical knockout. James Flynn also built up a formidable record during the season. The entire squad deserves the praise of ever) sports follower of the Orange and Black.
