Monogram Club BOYS’ MONOGRAM CLUB The purpose of the Monogram Club is to promote better sportsmanship. An Athletic award is presented to the football or basketball player when he has taken part in three-fourths of the quarters in any one season. In Baseball, one must par- ticipate in three-fourths of the total games. A player, who for some reason, is short of this goal and deserves entrance into the club may be nominated by a member and a vote taken. The past few years, we have undertaken to have a banquet, composed of all members, sponsors, and special guest. Since they have been enjoyed by everyone, we again plan for another one this spring.
