T l TYTTYYYW TYYVTYYMYT chosen, an ollicc all girls aspire to obtain, but which honor is given only to the best player. When the play bell rings, the girls are all so enthusiastic over the games that it looks like a six-ring circus going on. Everyone on the yard is busy. AO's and BO's are playing basketball with an aroused audience. Three baseball diamonds are busy with home-runs not infrequent, Next we come to the A7's, who are playing long-ball, a simplified baseball game. And last, but not least, we must remem- ber the l37's, whose skill in volleyball is sometimes lacking, but enthus- iasm never. At the end of the term the members of the winning team in each league receive their McKinley monograms. These are awarded in the auditorium during the -noon period by Mrs. Strutliers. She speaks to the girls about honors, sportsmanship. and the noon games.

The officers of the club are elected from the Council. The Council meeting is heldonce a week and takes up any problems pertaining to noon leagues. The captains are urged to report any trouble or question about rules to them, so that it may be decided by the Council.

TTYTTYTY1mFY7'!!,f7 Boys' Formal Work The formal work that is conducted in the playground includes marching, tactics, calisthenics, decathlon eve-nts, pyramid building for the A9 group, and special work for the squad leaders. The marching and calisthenics are worked out according to a pro- gram which calls for more simple work with the B7 group and grad- ually progresses, the A0's having the advanced combination work. This part of the program is desig-ned to develop in the boys quick response, control of movements and development of all the muscles in the body, as well as give the proper co-ordinations. The decathlon events are for the purpose of measuring the athletic ability, and strength of the individuals. These events include push- up, pull-up, pull-up, sit-up, basketball throw for goal, and football forward pass for accuracy during the first termg and the shot-put, broad iump, high jump, fifty-yard and seventy-five yard dashes in the second term. The AO group, as a more advanced group, works on the art of pyramid building, which requires strength, skill a-nd accuracy. The pyramids selected are very good, which fact helps to create interest among the boys. The squad leaders have special meetings during which they go over the general programs, and also do some advanced work. Football The 1924 football season was one of the most successful ever witnessed at McKinley. It was even more successful from the B9ls point of view, because this group copped the championship. The B7 group fthe green stuff from the grammar schoolsl wo-n the A7 group, but finally lost in the race. The B7's performed very well and de- serve every praise. The B8 group was the runner-up for the championship, but lost to the powerful B9 combination. The A9 group worked hard, but on account of lack of material lost the laurels. The A7 and A8 groups also worked hard. In fact, every team was very enthusiastic in the tight, receiving strong support from their classes. The championship game was the best exhibition of Junior football of the entire season. The B9 team showed perfect form, covered the l38's with a shower of passes and aided by the talented toe of Rich- ffl lL1lL4LlLllLLLLlLL
