Softball, touch football, hit pin baseball, volleyball, and basketball were the sports played throughout the year. This class helped to create better sports¬ manship as well as to develop skill in games. SPORTS GIRL—NAOMI EIGSTI Naomi Eigsti is Sports Girl of 1952. She was chosen by the girls in physical education as the one most out¬ standing in sportsmanship and athletic skill. Naomi well deserves the title of Sports Girl for she has shown top sportsmanship, not only in physical education but in all school activities. She also is an outstanding team member of all the sports in which she participated. — 28 — Naomi Eigsti The football season opened two weeks before school started when twenty- three boys reported to Coach Kuhre.
