CCCCCT iiii LOG Y NEW ATHLETIC PLAN There has been a new athletic plan adopted at North Junior High School. This system is so arranged and managed that every student in school is given a chance to participate in athletics. The old system, as it was, gave only an opportunity to those players who were the best in the school. If a poor player did not have a chance to get on the one Varsity team it was not likely that he would come and play. Thus the chance to gain a better knowledge of the sport and also sports- manship is lost to a poor player because he knows he can be substituted by a better player than himself. In the newer way to manage sports, each roll call room is represented by a person in the Athletic Committee of the school. Through this person the Athletic Committee aims to interest the whole class in Athletics. This Committee makes rules, regulations, and manages all sports. This year the sport seasons have been more successful than any other preceding year in the history of North Junior. In the soccer season last' fall several classrooms were united to get a team. These teams were organized by the Athletic Managers who had full control of their teams. Each team would play another team of the same league to find out which was the best. This championship team for each grade played a similar team from South and Central Junior High Schools. More people played in the past basketball season than any year before. Basketball and volley ball were managed about the same as soccer and proved very successful. Baseball proved the biggest hit this year. Teams were organized and intermural games started in March. Umpires and scorers were chosen among the student body according to their ability to oiiticiate. These officials had full control while on the field. Messrs. O'Shea and Holcomb supervised all the school sports, to their utmost success. I This past school year was more successful than ever before in sports inasmuch as more pupils turned out because they knew that there was a chance to play and cleveloppliysically as Well as mentally. 'We, the students of North Junior, believe in a sane mind in a healthy body. ' ' JOSEPH ASHKER 50
