Each year a host of boys from the seventh through twelfth grades enioy intramurals. The boys form teams and submit their names to their director, Mr. John Mach, who arranges a schedule of games to be played. Each team plays almost as often as our B or A squads. The teams play for the championship and, for top honors, are rewarded by receiv- ing ribbons. From the time these activities originated, about nine years ago, they have included such games as tennis, crabball, volleyball and basketball. It has proved to be a great success and, with the increasing participation, will probably be more beneficial than ever in the future. 17 ki 'z With a clashing of bumpers, and a waving of hands, we have a basket, strike up the bands.
