ATHLETICS The athletic program at T. M. l. has developed through carefully con- sidered steps to a present state that we consider to be the best suited to the needs of the modern boys preparatory school. This program, outlined below, is now functioning splendidly. All play is divided into three general heads as follows: First-the varsity teams playing schedules made up of other preparatory schools and large high schools in football, basketball, track, boxing, fencing, tennis, swimming, and golf. Second-junior varsity and also small boy teams playing games against similar groups from other schools in all the major sports. Third-the intramural program consisting of games between the four companies in football, basketball, track, baseball, volleyball, tennis, golf, swimming, tug-of-war, horseshoes, and other sports if the de- mand arises. To conduct the above program neither expense nor energy is spared. The school has superior physical equipment consisting of a new gymnasium which is one of the best in the state and provides adequate facilities for all indoor sports, a good athletic field encircled by a standard quarter-mile curbed cin- der track Ca new practice Held has just been purchased and will soon be com- pletedjg a beautiful swimming pool, six good tennis courts and our school- owned nine-hole golf course. Expert coaches, most of whom have been at T. M. I. for many years, are provided for all varsity, junior varsity and small boy teams. The intramural program is under the supervision of a full-time director who is assisted by other faculty members and also by outstanding athletes in the various companies. To show that the program works, we present the following facts: Play at T. M. I. is not compulsory, yet last year ninety-six per cent of all students played on an organized team of some kind. More than half the boys were awarded our athletic letter, which is given for satisfactory performance on a team playing against teams of other schools. Over a period of years, strong teams, which have made enviable records, have been developed, yet Hwinningl' has not been overemphasized and no athletic scholarships have been awarded to attract outstand- ing athletes. Our teams have been composed of boys, ninety per cent of whom have had all their athletic experience at this school. T. M. I. has developed many excellent athletes who have been outstand- ing in the colleges and universities, but takes equally as much pride in the hundreds of boys who could not be outstanding athletes but have here first learned to play with other boys and, through this play, have learned the fundamentals of good citizenship.
