Girls Glass Series Many games were played between the different classes which are not recorded here. This is due to the fact that the girls had no pre-arranged schedule and they began their games when the boys' schedule was nearly completed. Nevertheless they have had their pictures taken and the athletic edi- tor appreciates this and hopes that in future years there slhall be some schedule for the girls. Many girls onthe first team will leave school this year, but from the results of the class games, we fell sure that there will be plenty of material to fill their places. The Senior girls won all their games and doufbtlessly they would have been the chlarmipions had they played according to a schedule. Qtbletirs in 19. 19. 5. A reasonable amount of athletic training or development is of inesti- mable value to anyone. The training that one will receive from athletics will benefit them in many ways. A person is developed physically by the putting into faction of many dormant muscles which are not being develop- ed in our every day activities. A person who has any physical unfitness is usually grouchy and ill tempered. We know that a sound lbody makes ra sound mind, or in other words a person who does not feel well is incapable of performing his duties accurately. If a. person does not study his lessons daily he cannot hope to pass. It is the same way with vathletics, if we do not take care of ourselves we cannot hope to be properly developed. The training that one gets in controlling one's temper rand playing fair and square is in itself important and vital enough to make athletics worth while and profitable. In these few wways athletics develop us physically, mental- ly and morally. Athletics has alvvlays had its share of participants in P. H. S. For some reason or other our chief sport has always been basket ball, but even in this we have been handicapped because of our diminutive g'Ymnasium. In 1916 Piedmont High boys were the champions of the Upper Potomac League and we hope that we will soon be rabble to repeat this accomplish- ment. There is plenty of material in P. H. S. to produce a good team. Page seventy-five
