The Boys' Gym Club was started this year under the new Coach Ruskin Raycheff. High school boys are trained in Commando Vlfork, for dexterity on the parallel and high bars, and for proficiency on the mat. They are not only developing their muscles but their sense of timing, and quick thinking which will be important to them when they enter the armed forces. The boys demonstrated what they had accom- plished and learned in a Gym Exhibition in the spring. Ggm Club Bock row: G. Silco, Hegeman, Ruske, R, Dyer, Kostecke, C. Silco. Third row: L. Campbell, J.

Cn arrival of our new coach, Ruskin Raychett, the sbceer team was taced by the transportation problem which almost downed them. In spite at this disadvan- tage the team played three regular games during the season. They lost twice to a highly touted Brighton ifguad ond once to Spencerport. The Brighton games were both thrilling, for they were lost by only a tew points. The Spencerport game was also last by a close margin, so, despite the tew games, the team was tull ol tiaht. The loss of Nichols, Dyer, Dodgson, Cufari, and Hegeman who graduate will be felt heavily next year, yet, with an ample supply of veterans and rookies, the team looks forward to a better season on the soccer field. Same men who will be playing next year are: l-larry Ruske, Bob Schoen, Frank Evans, Bill Palmer, and Dave Palmer. lt is to be noted that the number of people who attended the soccer games this year was good in com- parison with other years. Even the out-ofetown games were well attended. Basketball fans also cheered on their teams in larger numbers. This means there's more school spirit, so let's keep it up.
