,f IVIEN'S INTHAIVIUHAL SPUHTS The intramural program of the year 'I935-1936 has been one of the most successful of any sports schedule ever attempted at this school. All through the year the men of the school enjoyed and benefited from the many activities offered by the sports depart- ment ofthe school. The program this year included many and varied activities. Tennis, basketball, ping- pong, boxing, wrestling, softball, horseshoe pitching, handball, slciing, and snowshoe- ing are some of the many activities offered. At the time of this writing, another favorite sport, golf, is pending. ln the fall, men of the school could be found at any time of the day playing a game of tennis, softball, or horseshoes. Early in the fall term facilities for pitching horseshoes were placed at the disposal of the students. From the beginning this sport was popular among the men. Groups were ever present in the vicinity of the pits. A tournament was arranged and a great number of people toolc part. At this same time the ever popular game of tennis was claiming its own share of followers. ln good tennis weather the courts served their purpose. A friendly spirit of lceen competition arose among the players and there were many well played and exciting sets. One day early in the fall the afternoon portion of the regular session was left free of classes in order that the students could do what they chose. This day turned out to be one of the pleasantest of the season. It was quite warm, and dry, and the sun was shining brightly. The sports interest of the students was clearly shown by their attendance at the tennis courts, baseball diamond, and other places on the campus offering recrea- tional physical activity. As the fall season drew to a close and the winter season began, ping-pong was introduced. Three excellent tables were set up in the gymnasium. From the first day it was realized that three tables were not enough to accommodate all those who wished to play. For this reason three more tables were placed in the gym. Later, a tournament was arranged for single, double, and mixed double sets. Also with the winter season came baslcetball. During free hours the gym resounded with the shouts of players. Tournaments were formed for class teams, independent teams, and teams representing the different gym classes. Boxing and wrestling were prominent in extra-curricular circles. Under the direction of two experienced student coaches meetings were held after school in the gym. After the Christmas holidays, an indoor sports carnival was held. The public was invited and several bouts and matches were ejoyed by the large crowd present. Cn those winter days when the ground was covered with a thiclc blanket of white snow, the campus and the surrounding fields were beautifully traced with the tracks of slciis and snowshoes. We had an especially fine opportunity to avail ourselves of the enjoyments and benefits from these two activities because of the great quantity of snow which Fell and the fine winter days we had while it lasted. As we come to the spring and summer seasons, our thoughts are turned toward tennis, baseball and other sports which usually prove popular during the warm weather. Now, that we have reached the end of the school year, those who have participated in one or more of the activities mentioned above can look baclc on many hours made enjoyable and beneficial by them. intramural sports not only served as a change from our studies, but we derived both mental and physical benefits. 50
