Good Sportsmanship - - Fair Play Endeavoring to create greater interest and opportunity for more girls to participate in sports, the Girls' Sport Council has di- rected more than twelve different sports. Outstanding among native traits are the American's energy, his sense of fair play, his delight in the out- of-doors, his love of fun and competition. Thus sports in the school of today serve to develop an ideal of sportsmanship which will not remain locked in that realm, but which will carry over into the workaday world as well. In competitive games there must also be teamwork, cooperation, and herein lies another lesson in democracy. This lesson does not apply to the Girls' Sport Council and the band alone, but to the sports on the pages to Come and to all school activities. However, greater stress, perhaps, is placed upon good sportsmanship in the world of physical activity. A noteworthy example of American sportsmanship and teamwork outside the sphere of sports may be seen in Sault I-Iigh's band, which appeared at all sporting events this year regard- less of weather or any other obstacle. One of Sault High's proudest possessions is the hand whose sportsmanship is ace high and with- out whose pep no athletic contest nor school event would he complete. At all parades, school or city, the band steps along to its own stirring rhythms. The music? First class, of course! 2 1, I k les .' if 111' ' ' un,a..,...,L . ,

Muff! 70 P K Mn- One of the pleasantest and most attractive in Michigan, the school library this year was named for Anna Helen Morse in recognition of the former English instructor's faithful and devoted service. As center of the intellectual life of the junior and senior high schools, the Anna Helen Morse library con- tains 4,790 books, many of which are valuable reference books accessible to all students and teachers. Num- erous fiction and non-fiction books are supplied for pleasure reading, and fifty-five magazines are subscrib- ed to and kept on file in the librarian,s workroom. Five of the nation's best newspapers are taken to meet the needs of patrons. As a library staff project this year, a filing cabinet Was purchased for the many pictures and pamphlets collected. On the east side are three committee rooms for the use of clubs and special com- mittees. The use of library tools, such as the card catalog, the Readers' Guide and reference books, is taught as part of regular English class work. The beauty and attractiveness of the library is enhanced by the valu- able paintings given through the kindness of former governor, Chase S. Osborn.

In Sault High this year, noon hour activi- ties were improved. A hot dish at a low cost was provided for those who bring their lunches. . Not too strenuous noon hour activities were su- pervised by Miss Kent and Mr. Honkanen. These included social dancing in the music room one day a week, interesting movies su- pervised by the boys of the Audio-Visual Club, games such as Chinese checkers, and shufileboard, table ten- nis, and basket shooting. Certain rooms were also available for those who wished to study. Although only seven athletic groups are represented on these two pages, the school's program includes many more sports activities in its striving toward the goal, Athletics for All . The Girls' Sport Council has continued to add variety to their sports program and this year has sponsored basketball, volleyball, swimming, tennis, bowling, speedball, archery, badminton, table tennis, shuffleboard, softball, and dancing. Boys participate in all varieties of track and field evmts, both indoor and outdoor, and in swimming, base- ball, golf, as well as the traditional football and basketball, which include not only the varsity teams in those sports, but also class and home room squads, thus satisfying the inclinations of many youths. perior swimming ability of the seniors were evident in the pool April 3.
