This group was made up of sophomores who were not Gout for athletics. A boy tak- ing football need not enroll in a class, but if he did not participate in any athletic activity. he must take the course. With this arrange- ment, the sophomores were engaged in ath- letics throughout the whole year. Not only did sophomores compete but many juniors and seniors added their names to the list of enrollees. Activities of the classes were varied. num- erous, and interesting. Last fall a six man football tournament was held among the classes. Extreme weather conditions pre- vented full completion of the meet, however. and playoff was made this spring. Various tournaments were held in other sports be- tween the classes after school. These included table tennis, badminton, paddle tennis, horse- shoe. golf. tennis. and basketball. Also soft- ball was a highly favored activity among the gymnasts. Spring seemed to be welcomed by aspiring athletes as they participated in a few of the outside sports at the outset of better weather. Badminton and various other indoor games were played out-of-doors. ln all. 75 boys participated in the organi- zation during the year. The problem facing us another year, according to gfloef' Quintal, is to keep the present number from doubling. The degree of its popularity among senior high boys is further illustrated by the large number of upper classmen enrolled in the class during the second semester. Wlith the addition of the organization the MHS curricu- lum has been more fully rounded out. r,- - KI Ns y ' S -Nw A- .. X 'Z'-4541 - ...-.-..
