Through the cooperation of both faculty and students we have added to our list of athletic equipment our Recreation Room. In this room there are three shuffleboard courts and a ping-pong table. The chief reason for the fitting up of this room was to provide entertainment during the noon hour for the students who eat their lunches in the build- ing. The students organized the Noon-day Recreation Club, with Leland Conner as supervisor of equipment. Many lively games are played, and all students enjoy playing for the championship. Two of our Faculty members have become intensely interested and efficient at both ping-pong and shuffle' board. Mr. De Can and Professor Aylard. we understand, are deadly rivals, May the best man win l l cc 61:

Girls' Basket Ball Last year after playing off several ties the seniors won over the college sophomores. The games were very fast, evenly matched, and an excellent showing was made. Dowley, justice and Williiiiiison were high point ladies for the seniors, and Case and Gay of the college sopho- mores, divided honors evenly. Field Of every school year one day is set apart when each class sends out her best representatives, to try to win honors. Field Day includes events such as the discus throw, shot-put, mile run, hundred yard dash, high jump, pole vault, baseball throw, and relay. Many talents come to light, and we discover that we too have fleet runners and high jumpers. On our 1955 Field Day jesse Howe took the mile This year's final basketball' game was even closer than last year's. The seniors and college freshmen were dogged in their desire for the championship. The college freshmen finally won by a close margin in the final game, which was tied for three quarters. Day run, Arthur Ensign the pole vault, Ellwood Voller the high jump, Vivian Gallup the baseball throw, and Wil- lard Mason the discus throw. The girls are not permitted to enter every one of the above contests, but they are allowed to have the high jump, fifty yard dash, baseball throw and broad jump. Gertrude Gay was high point girl in the ladies' events. The college sophomores were the high point class, with the seniors behind by one point. Girls' Indoor Team For 1955, the girls' teams were chosen without regard for class divisions, and took the names of such big league teams as Pirates, Giants and Yankees. The team which took the championship was the Detroit Tigers, headed by Schoolboy Rowe Case. For 1956 the classes turned out some very good teams and after some overtime periods the college freshmen won the tournament. COLLEGE FRESHMEN INDOOR CHAMPS ct as
