-A-In la woe- Q1 The A thletic Association During the last part of the school year 1921-1922 a committee of teachers and students drew up a constitution for an Athletic Association. The following September a Salem High School Athletic Association was organized. The following were elected as ofiicers- President,-Robert Menaugh Vice-President-Lillian Boggs Treasurer-Robert Boggs Secretary-Gretna Brown Advertising Manager,-Reuben Robertson The Athletic Association has proven a great factor in school life. It takes care of and encourages all athletics. The athletic treasury has been put on a firm ilnancial basis. The Association takes care of advertisement of games and awarding of letters, sweaters, numerals, etc. The great achievement of our Association is the establishment of a permanent annual Home-Coming. It preserves the feeling of loyal- ty of both students and alumni for the Old Gold and Black. The present Athletic Association has carried on t.he work of that of last year u11der the following officers- President-Robert Boggs Vice-President-Mae Holsapple Treasurer-Kenneth Short Secretary-Gretna Brown Advertising Manager--John Paynter These officers with Mr. Brooks and Mr. Davis form the Executive Board. The Association, as a whole, is made up of students who pay the yearly dues of twenty-nve cents. Other Athletics Spring athletics this year are confined entirely to track and field work. Last year we had a Base Ball team but owing to t.he short time and the scarcity of the school teams it was thought best to not have a team this year. The tennis courts have been made over and interest is being shown toward that sport. Football was play-ed for awhile last fall and it is hoped that it will not be abandoned next year, The Triangular Track and Field Meet More than twenty years ago, in 1901 to be exact, Salem High School had a very good track team-a team that won the Southern Indiana Track and Field Meet. Then, like Rip Van Winkle, this flne branch of athletics took a long, long sleep. In t.he years 1921-22 and 1922-23 vigorous attempts were made to arouse the track and held spirit and interest. In each of these years 'teams were developed and sent 'to the District Meet. Each year our boys brought back some ribbons. However, it remained for the year 1923-24 to 'bring a real awakening. A :large squad came out for training. Mr. ,Davis scheduled a meet with Seymour and .Scottsburg for M-ay 3rd, the meet to be held at the Salem Fair Grounds. It proved to be a hue meet in every respect. A fine spirit of fair 'play ruled throughout and the visiting schools were very complimentary in their remarks concerning the way the meet was conducted. lPage tlfty-sixj
