R. 0. T. C. OFFICERS TOP ROVV: Arkin. Scott. Eskrvv. Lees. B O T 'I' O NT ROW' : YVeinstcin, Daviil, Hyman, Iillithorpe. Sullivan's Reserve Officers Training Corps, though the youngest major activity at school, has brought us the greatest honors and laurels. Since 1935, when the R.O. T.C. was first introduced in Sullivan, the companies ably instructed by Sergeant Gris- thus have been among the finest in the city. This is an exceptionally superior record since Chicago has a greater number of boys in the R.O.T.C. than any other city. Whenever a squad from Sullivan has entered the Fed- eral Inspection where com- missioned officers have graded the various platoons, our boys have never received lower than third place for their militariy marching and rapid response given to all commands. There has been, for the past two years, competition between crack platoons, carefully selected from each school. Sullivan in -each of the year's events finished first and second respectively. Last year, our selected group was in- vited to Sheboygan for the competition of the Sixth 'Corps Area. Here the platoon greatly distinguished itself by receiving second place honors, missing first place by two-tenths of a point. Recently another such invitation was received for a similar event at Kenosha. Page One Hundred Forty-six THERES SOMETHING ABOUT A SOLDIER Sergeant Anthony Gristhus, U. S. Army. The ofiicers placed in charge of the four com- panies, which received federal inspection, were Cadet Captain Powers of Company A: Cadet Cap- tain Hyman of Company B: Cadet Lieutenant Arkin of Company C: and Cadet Lieutenant David of Company D. These ofncers command a select group, compiled from the cream of our R.O.T.C. One of the latest additions to our soldier's equip- ment is a rifie range, upon which our skilled rifie team may practice. This year was the first time this team entered into city wide competition. and it took fourth place. ' By all consideration, Sullivan has one of the fin- est Training Corps in the country.

IN TRAMURALS Two Pointsl lump Ballf Tip off! INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL Following every basketball season, the male population of Sullivan indulge in a bit of basketball. After watching the Varsity come through with a very successful season, boys seem to think that it's about time to try their own hand in the fast, thrilling game of basketball. ln each year, the boys organize teams to compete with teams in their same year. After a series of eliminations the winners of each year are declared. The members of the winning teams receive gold' and blue emblems acknowledging them as champions. Another important phase of the intra-murals is that in the freshman, and sophomore divisions, it is a testing ground for the future possibilities of the Varsity Basketball Team. Many Sullivan basketball stars have been discovered when engaging in the intra-murals. This season, the winners of the senior division were the Reds. This aggre- gation defeated the Howard Street Birds twenty-live to fifteen for the senior title. In the junior division the Bucketeers swamped all opposition to win the Junior Championship. The Bucketeers proved themselves a powerful quintet by defeating the Trojans forty-nine to nine. The sophomore section was won by the Challengers. ln the Freshman Class the B and-Box Swishers were far superior to any team in either the Fresh- man or Sophomore divisions. The Intramural basket championships carried out under the sponsorship of Mr. Nemkoff offer sportsmanship and an opportunity to learn the game to many students of Sullivan High School.
