GOLF i1937l THE crisp Saturday mornings of fall saw the city golf championship decided by hard Won victories or hotly con- tested defeats.

Lettermen were: Douglas Derstler, Marcel Fisher, Al Norbont, Walter Olson, Bido Trujillo, and Don Walsh. TENNIS i1937l MANUAL netmen fought hard and finished in fourth place in the league. They proved a dangerous obstacle in the championship path of other schools with their swishing racquets, backhands, forehands, and fancy footwork. The lettermen were: Ed Breier, Paul Denes, Bob Fitzerald, Herman Greenberg, Nathan Nickerson, Demosthenes Pap- pas, and Harold Rosenquist. SWIMMING i1938l THE Artisan tankmen splashed their way to third place in the annual city meet. East's Human Flash, Worth- ington Baros, proved too much for both South and Manual.

THE CHAMPIONSHIP BASKETBALL TEAM GIRLS' ATHLETICS BASKETBALL A CROWD gathers as shouts and screams are heard coming from the girls, gym. We enter to see two teams, each composed of six iiery girls driving, pounding, and playing their way toward victory in an exciting basketball game. It is the championship game between the rival teams of Johnson and McGrath. The ball is passed to a Johnson forward as her fellow teammates dash, pivot, and run in the endeavor to clear a player for a real set-up shot. A guard breaks clear and receives the pass, a quick bounce and the ball is shot across the center line to a forward. The forward pivots and shoots for the basket only to miss. Again, the ball is passed to the center of the floor, a player misses the pass, McGrath's team recovers, the ball changes hands rapidly. A forward receives a pass in clear shooting range, the ball arches upward-swish -it cuts the hoop. Plenty of competition was given the championship team by the other squads. Many games were very close, some not decided until the final minute. Three teams tied for second place, each of which possessed very capable play- ers. The captains of these teams were Beatrice Thompson, Barbara Hahne, and Merle Johnson. The all-Manual team was composed of five seniors and one 12B. The honored ones were Marie Vigil, Corinne Smith, Winifred Reed, Lucille Marchitti, Alice Finnigan, and Rose McGrath. FACULTY Culottes and short socks fully de- scribe Manual's peppy gym teacher.
