EVEHY HIIY UN SUME HAM Each sport at M. M. A. is organized in such manner that every boy is given an opportunity to participate-to be a regular member of a team. The boys are teamed up according to their size, age, experience and ability, in the sport of their preference. In addition to varsity teams in each sport, there are com- pany teams which give every boy his chance to compete in a carefully arranged intramural schedule. Each team has its own coach and its own playing area. Besides the various team activities, all boys participate in other physical events in which the entire battalion engages. These events include two colorful athletic carnivals, one in the fall and one in the spring, and daily drills in calisthenics.

EA M.M.A. vs. Jefferson City in 194-8 SPIJHE IINIIEH EXEEHE SUPEHVISIIIN The proper development of your boy's physical powers is quite as essential to his success and happiness, both in school and in life after school, as his mental training. The mind, to be capable of sustained con- centration without undue fatigue, requires a strong, healthy body. At M. M. A. your boy will find every facility for all types of wholesome, body-building athletics. He'll be able to play the games he likes, in- doors and outdoors. He'll be encouraged to participate in the sports best suited to his individual physical needs. And he'll be coached by an expert in every sport he selects. Correct training and careful super- vision prevent injuries and insure a thorough knowledge of each game by each player. This makes every game far more interesting and beneficial. In addition to building strong, healthy bodies, this thoroughly supervised training in athletics develops good co-ordinations of mind and muscle, produces the qualities of self-reliance, initiative, co-operation, and leadership, and provides many other benefits of lasting value. ..L ,.. , as ul 4.1.11 .,. .,. ..,....,..s . ,, .L . ...-,.,....,. ....-. ,.-., .
