' Intramural sports in L. H. S. this year are bigger and better than ever before, under the guidance of Miss Leese and Mr. Spangler. The girls' sports were sponsored by the G. A. C., and the boysl, by the Boys' Intra- mural Club. Miss Leese has given to her girls this year two new sports, in addition to the various old ones, archery and tennis. The old and more familiar sports were ping pong, badmin- ton, basketball, and volley ball. On Award Day in Assembly winners received medals. In basketball Sara Hostetter's team came out on top, which it really deserved, having had some tough teams to play against. The volley ball honors were taken by Grace Hock- ley's team. Through the year mat work, rings, horse, parallel bars, tap and square dancing, and golf were among the pastimes of the girls. Miss Leese intends sponsoring an archery tournament to determine the Robin Hood of L. H. S. All in all, the girls' extensive sports pro- s7,.,... A.. Aff.. .lf Ji si gram held many hours of work and fun which will not be soon forgotten. Mr. Spangler has again completed another year of intramural sports, making the third successful one. This year the sports were as follows: basketball, volley ball, badminton, and ping pong. As usual, the top sport of the year was basketball. Each home room had its respec- tive players. The winner this year was Room 2155 the players were: Arnold Spesak, Ray- mond Smith, George Strickler, Edward Strickler, Harold Speck, and Stanley Speraw. The old stand-by sports-ping pong and badminton-were also indulged in this year. Because of so many other activities no tourna- ment for volley ball was held, but this sport was enjoyed in the gym classes. Added to the calendar of events was tennis, always a popu- lar lead. Credit must be given to Mr. Spangler for promoting and to the Boys' Intramural Club for undertaking such a worthy extracurricu- lar project that has undeniably served as a means of strengthening and developing the bodies and minds of the boys in L. H. S.

ASSEMBLIES ' This year's assembly programs were of unusual diversity. They may, however, be grouped into three types-recreational, edu- cational, and entertaining. Numerous student features were listed. These included pep-meetings, award days, the Christmas program, the Girls, and the Boys' Oratorical Contests, skits from the school plays, and an all-student talent assembly. The Ford Motor Company showed movies of the New York World's Fair and the Ford Plant at Detroit. Throughout the year many interesting speakers appeared before the students. Al- bright College sent Mr. Brinninger as a rep- resentative, and other prominent persons spoke to the student body during the year, among whom was Dr. Iudd, a former medical missionary to China. Several unique programs were presented by well-known personages. Mr. D. K. Ernst, a hypnotist, thrilled the student body by his startling performances in the Held of hypnosis. Mr. C. E. Iones entertained the students with his electrical apparatus, and Mrs. Iones amused and inspired the audience by her abilities as an elocutionist.
