A great question arose, What was to be done for players? But M1'. Davis soon a11sWcred it by organizing the Intra-Mural Lea.gue, composed of six teams, captained by Paisley, Wilson, Ba.rr, Baskerville, Cook, and Morgan. Each team was entitled to' eight players, and a series of fifteen games were battled out with Paisley 's team in the lead without a defeat, although Wilson 's team gave him a. close race. Morgan didn 't have such good luck, crawling behind with five defeats. The other teams broke about even. During the games Coach Davis was able to pick out three first team players, namely Beddow, Pulliam, and Nandell.

DALE DAVIS One dark and gloomy night our worthy science teacher, Mr. Davis, while slowly wending his way homeward Watched a shooting star a. bright ray of which penetrated his ponder-ous mind, He conceived instantaneously of a great club. The following morning he told his cla.sses if they would be good little boys and girls and listen he would tell them of his great idea. All persons both boys and girls who shall acquire a grade in Chemistry or Physics of a.n A or B would band themselves together for better or worse. Thus the Chem-Phi Club was conceived and started. Meetings of this club were held fortnightly on Monday nights and it is needless to say that few absences were reported, for these meetings devoted to the discussion of matters of scientific importance were of great interest. Rev. Wells appeared before the club and gave a thorough discourse of the Einstein Theory, Rev. Moore and Rev. McDuifey discussed evolution. Scientific films were shown on one occasion, while another evening was spent visiting the laboratory of Dr. E. G. Dittmer. An excursion took the club to the Electric Light Plant, Mayflower Dairy plant, the meat market and the Ice Cream plant. The success of the club is due to the untiring interest of the advisor, Mr. Davis. Due to his efforts the work of the club is of such interest that there is no doubt of the perpetuation of its existence. Tivmzty-ciglzt

The program, which has ll0Cll arranged and which is of innnense interest to all, since everyone will have a part to perform, will include chosen groups to denionstrate their tactics in inarching, gymnastics, dancing, stunts, and games. We are certain that the introduction of girls' physical education has been a decided benefit to our school since it promotes health and self-reliance in the individual, and creates a fine spirit and interest among the students. Under the direction of Mr. Warren Davis, the efforts of the physical training department of M. H. S. during the entire year, have been lJGl1t toward the perfection of stunts which will be presented on their exhibition day, May 20th. In this exhibit every student of M. III. S. will participate in soineyone of the events. VVork on the horse, rings, horizontal and parallel bars, will be denionstrated. Mass calistheuics, marching, and military tactics will have a. part in the program. The game phase of physical training Work will be demonstrated by 111021118 of ba.sketball, hand polo, and track work. The importance of physical training work can not be over-emphasized, for in the first place, it appeals to every red-blooded American, and in the second place, it builds character and promotes health.
