The library staff is under the competent supervision of Miss Margaret Clark.

Every member of this rugged band of athletes has won a letter in a major sport. The underly- ing cause for the organization is to foster sportsmanship and school spirit, Under the direction of Coach lack C-ramley, the club sponsored tag days, set a standard for letters, bought football sweaters, gave awards in all sports and recognition to outstanding mem- bers, and brought about the establishment of a school-wide athletic fee. Heading this organization is George Dacy, president, jim Spry, Vice-presidentg and Kenny Dorn sports the title ot secretary and treasurer. Despite the loss of many of his best players, the shortage of assistants causing him to do the work of three coaches, and the ever-increasing demands of the government to teach more phy- sical education, Coach 1. C. Gramley has helped the athletic teams to live up to all the Ponce traditions of sportmanship, fair play, and of school spirit. For these and other achievements, in the face of overwhelming odds, we dedicate this section of sports to Coach 1. C. Gramley.
