It was planned by the Social Committee of the Student Council, under the direction of Bill Gibbons.

SPORTS Sports activities at St. Mark’s have been very difficult to manage because of the small number of students and the difficulty in schedul- ing. However, a varied gym program was carried on which included swimming, skating, touch football and elementary gymnastics, among other things. Soccer and tennis teams competed with other high schools, and a basketball team was entered in Region Six competition for the first time. A combined team from Rowland Hall and St. Mark’s competed in the annual Knudsen Cup, which involved many Utah schools. The teams provided an opportunity for boys interested in athletics, and also proved to be a valuable unifying force among the students. Page thirty-three
