Q Intramurals IS an activity established for high school boys who do not have enough time or ability to participate in varsity sports. The enrollment of boys' intramurals reached the point this year where it became too large to be accommodated in one group. Therefore, it had to be broken into three separate sections. This arrangement was more 'acceptable to the boys because it gave additional playing time to the individual. The groups concentrated on the fundamentals of football, basketball and softball. Through this they added to the character of the partici- pant a better understanding of sportsmanship. This activity is sponsored by Mr. Pager. ffffalfffmt

Pollum Not present when picture was taken-B. Blymiller, S. Foust, B. McElory, E. Jolly A DATE WITH JUDY A DATE WITH JUDY is the story of a typical American family, the Fosters. Randolph, the youngest of the two Foster children, is constantly teasing someone. Judy, the Foster's other child, is interested in becoming queen of her club's dance. Since the girl who raises the most money for the community relief fund will become queen, Judy decided to enter a number of contests as a way of raising money. Judy enters the names of her family and friends in the different contests that are run, specifying that the winning money should be contributed to the community relief fund in her name. Judy wins no prize money but she receives all kinds of merchan- dise. Mr. Foster is accredited the award of honorable mention for having the most kissable lips. Mrs. Foster is overcome with 24 bottles of hair dye. This three-act comedy adapted from the radio program of the same name affords a close-up study of some of the problems of the American youth and the effect of them on their families. Humor, pathos, human interest and philosophy are inter- woven and expressed through real characters. This play will be remembered as one having real interest and value.
