FOOTBALL GAME Mr. J. A. Bell, Billy Davis, Morris Bloom, George Abaiian, Bernard Melamed, Jim Fogarty, Allen Brownstein, Kenny Bryant, Selwyn Rose. SPORTS ROUND-UP Ardent sports admirers had plenty of things to talk about during the year when speedball and football reigned as maior sports in Mount Vernon. Speedball started off slowly, but soon picked up with the Wolverines of 218 tak- ing the pennant. The Badgers and the Spartans split the points in a tie for second place. Although speedball started slowly, the football season started off with a bang. The Wolverines looked as if they were going for their second straight pennant when the Hoosiers of 259 beat them. A post season play off to de- cide the championship resulted in an upset-with the underdog Hoosiers winning the title. Meetings of Gym Club are held every Thursday after school in the gym. The club now boasts twenty members, three of whom have already earned their letters. They are Mike Polin, Jack Kelly and Tom Goula. The club also has some promising B-7's. - One of the most closely fought volleyball games on record at Mount Vernon was held October 13, when the faculty shattered a fighting A-9 team by taking the first and third of three sets, 15-ll and T5-7 respectively. Members of Mount Vernon Junior High who have been chosen Minute Man of the Week for their oustanding ability in gym and sports activities are: Kenny Johnson, George Abaiian, Carl Hunn, Morris Bloom, Cal Darrow, and Mike Polin. Special credit should be given to Mr. John Bell, head of the athletic department, Mr. Clifford Hirsch, who-par- ticipated in square dancing and co-ed, and Mr. George Wight, supervisor of the homeroom league, for the com- mendable iob that they have done during the year.
