ATHLETIC COUNCIL Those who have worked along with the Athletic Council through its four years of growth have seen intramurals formed and the spirit of the school increased through its efforts.

A fuil schedule of other activities—newspaper, debating, dramatics, photography, music—gave us all an oppor- tunity to show our talents. The basketball team won two, lost one in our first interscholastic competition. Christmas vacation arrived and our spirit was dampened only by the realization that our first high school exams were fast approaching. During vacation many of us, students and teachers alike, picked up the “virus” bug; and classes with only ten 96
