DISCOVERING SPORTSMANSHIP There are found among athletes many natural leaders. These leaders and followers, banded together in the Letterman's Club, can constitute strong iniative. This iniative may be only for practical purposes, or it may be diverted into a strong moral force which raises the standards of a whole school. This task, while it is a chal- lenge, is the fundamental aim of the Letterman's Club. The St. Xavier's Club worked toward this end in the past, and provides a challenge for the future. The Letterman's Club members are relaxing after their business meeting is concluded.
