P HE Girls Leaders Corps under the direction of Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Boyd is composed of representatives from each class and various other oflicers of our school. This group dis- cusses and solves many problems that come up in physical education. The girls work out rules and other parts of the physical education program. Sports events such as festivals, play days, and Olympics are planned by this organization. This year the Girls Leaders Corps has con- tributed a great deal towards the school's wel- fare. The girls have put forth an effort to make this school a better one. During health month, April, many of the girls drew posters on posture or health. The posters were then sent to department stores such as Buffums' where they were on display. The Leaders Corps has also done many other things to add to our'Will Rogers Junior High School, and have tried hard to participate cooperatively with the rest of the schools, activi- ties. Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Boyd, Doris June Miner, Janice Roudebush, and Patricia Rolo, our teachers and officers, have kept the Leaders Corps the organization it is.

S BUILDING HEALTH FOB THE FUTURE S the knowing ones look back on the athletic season of 1942-4-3, they notice that the calisthenics played a major part in the health program at Rogers. This phase of physical education assisted in the actual playing stamina of participants in the varied intramural activities. When summer was still evident, and classes were settling down to their studies, speedball followed by football and basket- ball were the 'Lbig three. Overwhelming winners in these were the 9A's. Leading their teams to victory were John Crutch- field, David Hughes and Alan Nason. King Mud and Queen Bain were fea- tured, as paddle tennis held sway over the well populated grounds. Myron Pelsinger, Bobby Mayes, and Ray Ecton were winners in classes A, B, and C, respectively. When the air was tangy, the field hard and springy, naturally track was at its best. A good group of trackmen were gathered at the starting line when the coach called for the heats. Bay McCoy, Bob Hall, Chuck Roth, Richard Ellis, and Tom McLaughlin reigned as head spike- sters of track and iield. Baseball, the nation's favorite sport, ended the school intramural competition.
