A ' h M Second Row: Noel Wfhittern, Loy Laney, Leslie Reeves, Jo n ertes. Our Athletic Board has had a new job to handle this year in improving the physical condition of all the boys in the student body. Headed by Rolla P. Chambers, a plan has been introduced to include all boys in some kind of athletics regardless of whether it be military training or physical fitness. All bovs have been following the government's re- quest to strengthen their physical condition in or- der to be prepared to answer the call by Uncle Saul. A well-rounded program has been introduced which has attracted the attention of many of the boys. The upper classmen have received much valuable information from their military training. Many boys have moved up to officers in this train- ing program, which is being directed by our experi- enced instructor, Captain Everett Pennington. Other members of the athletic board include Loy C. Laney, I-lyrle Ivy, Robert Sinks, Noel Whittern, Robert Dornte, Leslie Reeves, john Mertes, and Principal Milton Northrop. Mr. Laney has been instructing classes in physical fitness while Mr. Ivy has been sharpening the aim of all the students in the Rifie Club. This year all seniors have been given the opportunity to meet d d t u b our government on the certain stan ar s se p y riHe range. 98 Much credit should be paid to Mr. Sinks for handling the well-rounded intramural program. Mr. Whittern, the popular Booster adviser, has been newly appointed as the tennis coach. Bob Dornte, head football and basketball men- tor, has finished his first year at North Side with his teams making an impressive record during the past year. Mr. Reeves has handled all the finances for the athletic department during the past year and has also helped Mr. Chambers arrange the athletic schedules. Much credit goes to these two gentle- men for booking some of the strongest teams for the Redskins in the state of Indiana. Mr. Milton Northrop's principal assignment is to see that the school abides by all the rules set up by the Indiana High School Athletic Association. North Side has long been on the good standing with Trester and the IHSAA thanks to our prin- cipal, Mr. Milton Northrop. It is the duty of all the schools to meet the standards set up by the As- sociation. No boy is allowed to play on outside basketball teams after the close of the basketball season. Thus it is the job of the Athletic Board to keep tab on the student body during the period which might attract boys to play with outside teams.

THE LEGEND 1943 ,gn ifdnlufblf .SZQOIJ6 By HOWARD WEATHERHOLT Credit for another brilliant in- tramural sports program should be paid to Director Robert Sinks and Athletic Head Rolla Cham- bers, as well as the rest of the Redslcin athletic board. The pro- gram for 1942-43 included the Leaders' Tournament, H o m e Room Tournament, bowling, track, tennis, and cross country. Since many, however, will tal-:e after the Legend publica- date, summaries of only place tion those which have been completed will be given. The annual Leaders' Tourna- ment started the initial spin of the intramural wheel and the Corncobbers. a team composed of Bill Hunter, Carl Suedhoff, Tom Johnson, Jack Neff, Gene Himelstein. and Don Koenig fought their way to the crown in a thrilling 21-to-19 game. The freshman-sophomore cross-country run was next to appear on the intramural calendar. Delbert Beyerly claimed the title and set a new record of 9:40 in doing so. Other runners, Wayne Putt, Bob Bauermeister, Verle Wright, and Wayne Kesler, Left to Right: Gene Himelsteiix, Bill Hunter, Don Koenig, Carl Suedhoif. and Tom Johnson, winners in the Leaders Tournament. finished in that order. Beyerly's record was set on a wet and muddy course. The ten-pin bouncers, under the direction of their new head, Mr. John Mertes, then swung into action. Herb Hostler, Dean Marks, Clifford Voellcer, and Clarence Hanson consistently led the bowlers. Hostler averaged a score of 157 to claim top position on the team.
