SPORTS In a new school the sports are necessarily limited, but the athletic program has an opportunity to make a fresh start and to establish its own traditions.

The result was modest athletes who did not expect gold- en crowns or medals at the end of a victorious season.

Unable to play any home games because of the strange position of the baskets in our own gym, the teams found themselves on many different courts whose only common trait was: that they tiad a basket at each end. We had a perfect fall and spring playground which lay directly outside our windows, but Chief Gucker had quite a problem in picking a soccer squad of eleven and a softballsquad of nine out of a high school with twenty boys one year and barely thirty the next. There also were na seniors in the 1948 season. nv f 1 b f ye- -1-,zz '2 7' t R .sl e fl itll--
