This plan provides for thirty-two players on both the first and second teams instead of the twenty which made up the teams in previous years. The plan gives more boys an opportunity to participate in athletics and permits additional instruction for underclassmen. Only twenty-two members of the teams were taken to the out-of-town games; however, the entire squad was in uniform at home tilts. Robert Stebleton, a senior, and Wendell Riffle, a sophomore, chosen by popular vote of the student body of the high school, proved very efficient cheer leaders during the entire basketball season.

This was followed by Indian kickball,' which, in turn, gave way to volley ball. At the beginning of the new term, stunts took the spotlight. Volley ball, the technique being conquered, was followed by folk dancing and out-of-door sports. 24
