The G-B's took the title, and the P-47's came in second. A class table tennis tournament was held, and there was an enthusiastic response. D. Johnson won handily in the senior division; Hugh McCardle topped the juniors: Ed Frawloy waded through ell sophomore competition, end Don Boles was king of the frosh. Boxing The R Club sponsored an all-school boxing tournament which aided in the keep fit program. The tournament uncovered some men who were pretty handy with the gloves. The Cribbage tournament was vigorously contested with Paul Swenby emerging the winner. Ho was followed by John Prucha. John Andrea and Regorra. Drehmel took the checker tournament with Malueg second and Curler third. Ed Schmitz made the best time in the indoor obstacle test. Leonard Whitmore and Norman Pautz were right behind him.

The winter season consisted of hitpin baseball, basketball, and volleyball. In the spring an enthusiastic group again reported outside for softball. PINBALL Back row: Sanford. Sneosby. Salmon.
