For a basketball letter, seventeen quarters are at least ten points in the course of a season. Once these requirements have been met, the boy receives a letter, M and becomes a mem- ber of M club. M club has as its primary pur- pose stimulation and encouragement of interest in athletics by giving the boys recognition for participation in interscholastic athletics. lt is truly an organization of outstanding athletes. needed, while for track, it is necessary Voiceless, exhausted, and hilariously happy after pulling up with their second championship in a row are these members of the Bobby Sox team.
