Behind our athletic teams is a group of hard-working boys known as the managers. The managers should receive extra credit because they have served faithfully throughout the football and basketball seasons. They worked long and hard keeping up the Old McDonald Spirit for the players. They have to take the jokes when the players are in good moods and they are the object of everything ANAGERS when the players lose their tempers. Among their many and varied responsi- bilities are the care of equipment, lining of the Held for home games, keeping sports statistics, and being prepared with a first-aid kit. What would we do without the managers? Let's recognize the managers and give them the appreciation that is due.
