ATHLETICS skill or proficiency is required or necessary to the contestants in any sport, although proficiency is recognized by determining champions in the various activities. The prime purpose of any tournament however, is to experience, Hthe fun of the game, rather than to establish champions. It is hoped that such participation will not only offer temporary pleasure, but will also help to cr'eate an interest and a desire to take part in wholesome athletic ac- tivities throughout life. The intramural program is administered in every detail by a group of Junior and Senior boys comprising a sports committee known as The Intra- mural Athletic Board. This group determines what sports shall make up the season's program, and each personally supervises the administration of at least one sport a year. The cfzmmittee this year was made up of Edward Slutz, Eugene VVhipple, Jim Tedrow, Curtis Conant, Gerry Edwards, and Bendy Nathan. VVhatever success intramurals ex- perienced is, to a considerable degree, the result of the efforts of this group. The editor thanked Coach Ewart for his opinion and went on his way to find out just what had been done along this line this year. He found out that there had been quite a bit of activity. In the first place he discovered that the Fall program had been centered around two events, Touch Football and Tennis. The first was an inter- elass affair while the Second was individual. In the first event the Seniors defeated the Juniors and the Sophomores defeated the Freshmen. Then the Seniors defeated the Sophomo1'es to win the Touch Football title. There were eleven entrants in the Tennis Tournament. Of these several were eliminated in the first round. The final match was played between Albert Ehringer and Edward Slutz, both members of the Senior Class. Ehringer was the winner. Among those ente1'ed were Harold Sapp, Jim Pitch- er, Francis Bouxsein, and Eugene Whipple. YVinter Intramurals were chiefly concerned with Basketball intermingled with Checkers and XYrestling. The Basketball tourneys were played off in three series through the Home Rooms. In the first group every team played every other team. The winners of these games then played each other while the losers did the same. Then a final tourna- ment was arranged according to the results of these games. In this Room 208, a Senior Home Room was the winne1'. Several entrants took part in the Checkers Tournament which was won by Glenn Allen. As for wrestling about sixty boys entered. At the time this section goes to press the results are not known. The spring program will consist of an inter- class track and field meet and another tennis tourn- ament. - --:Q 1' s' g ulllKll'.llll'.llUlClSIlill1llll 'liILll Vl'1 A :H-szaaQm,t .- -.-----.-.- 4-' A , . i wan. 1 - E , y:: , ,v:f,..vv:3:!, .0 1?1 .L 456.1 X . - 4-A ' gee! , Q.. -' fl if K' ' vvo 4 9 ' ' ' v 9,s:s 0090009939941 ' s Q 0 Q O O , sf-sfvgfsa-Qwiww ' .

Roy heaves the ball to win for the Sophomores. One of the Athletic edi- tors invaded Coach Ew- art's room on the third floor with the question, t'What is the value of in- tramural athletics? His reply may be summed up in the following paragraphs. Although there has been some justified critic- ism of the usual type of athletic program in high schools and colleges in years past, there are few people today who would not agree that the merits of athletics far exceed their less desirable features. The opportunities which sports give for developing such highly desirable characteristics as loyalty, Page Sixteen sportsmanship, cooperation, initiative, determina- tioin, and the like are generally unquestioned, and they have come to be accepted as among the most necessary elements in school life. The construction of large gymnasiums and playing fields which pro- vide the facilities for participation in sports, makes it evident that those of experience fully recognize their value and are anxious for their children to have the experiences which athletics offer. It is the purpose of the intramural program to offer to every boy in school the opportunity to take part in the sports of his choosing, and to enjoy and benefit from these experiences.

LA U T U M TIGER STAFF Betty, I'm afraid we're going to have to cut oil' a part of Mr. Werbelow said a voice in Room 304. I paused to listen wondering what the cause of the surgery might be. t'Peeper, won't all these feet have to come off? inquired another voice. By this time my curiosity was aroused. Other voices came forth with statements such as these. What was the date of the first Senior party? Did you get that list of letter men from Joe? I'lI get a snapshot of Eddie tomorrow. Hey do you know who this long-legged chap is? HI think we'd better make another check on subscriptions tomorrow. All was clear now. It wasn't an operating room but the Annual Room. The Tiger staff were busy planning, trim- ming pictures, mounting them, editing copy, and doing all the variety of things that bring forth a new edition of The Tiger each year. To all those who have helped selling candy, making the Senior dinner a success, selling play tickets and doing the var- ious odds and ends asked of them, the Stan? says, Many thanks. NEWS STAFF The first assembly of the school year was nearly over when Mr. Shaffer asked, Are there any further announcements by members of the faculty? Whereupon Mrs. Mayeur arose, 'tI'd like to meet the News Staff in my room immediately after school tonight, she said. From that first day until the last day of school in June the News Staff were busy. They became embryo journalists scouting here and there for news items for their weekly col- umn. No event was too small to escape their notice. No event of major importance was overlooked by them. Interesting side lights secured by those illusive characters t'Pick and Up added spice to the column. The County Papers as well as those from nearby cities carried the news to the tax-paying public and proved to them that Princeton High school was active in all types of activities. We take our hats off to Norma Klass the editor, Mrs. Mayeur the adviser, and to the entire staff for their addition to the news of the week. NATIONAL F ORENSIC LEAGUE The question for debate this afternoon is Resolved: That all electrical utilities should be government owned and operat- ed. Participation in such debates gave membership in the Forensic League to some. Participation in oratorical contests or in other forms of literary work gave membership to others. Membership is determined by accomplishment. The first rank is that of Merit. This has been Won by Alice Bowman, Leland Puttcamp, Virginia Piper, Dexter Nelson ,and Jack Tompkins. Continued participation in such activities puts one up another rung in the ladder of membership to the rank of Honor. Alice Schulhof and Marian Nelson have won this rank. Climbing still higher on the ladder one finds Cecil Loberg and Mr. DeLay on the rung of Excellence. At the top of the ladder stand Norma Klass and James Tedrow Who have won the highest rank, Distinction. GIRIJS CHORUS First place in the Girl's Chorus goes to Princeton. So said the judge at the Geneseo Chorus Contest and clap, clap, clap went the hands of the Princetonians in the audience. This is just one of the many accomplishments of the Girl's Chorus under Miss Fry's capable leadership. At Christmas in conjunction with the Band a lovely Christmas program was given. The stage was beautifully arranged and as the cur- tains parted a spirit of reverence came over the entire audience. All felt that it had been good for them to have been there. In the spring the Chorus entered the Sub-District State Contest and took part in the State District contest at DeKalb. Music was also given for Assembly programs, Baccalaureate and Commencement.
