Now, Leo, you know you know you aren't a good hair-carry victim. 'Try the under water approach. No, no, straighten your arms. Such were the shouts that echoed around the swimming pool at Pontiac High School, as nearly twenty-five of Waterford's aquatic fa- natics underwent a ten-week Senior Life-Saving course. As instructors, the group had Mr. and Mrs. William Isaacson, and 'Ozzie' Watch- pocket. When the final ripple died out on the last night of instruction, twenty-three of the water- lovers had attained the rank of Senior Life Saver.

S K ..x ' .--.SH no . H fm Q il i A variety of sports and gymnasium activities dominated the boys' physical education classes during the past year. Under the supervision of Mr. Ortiz, the upperclass boys had detailed instruction in the basic principles of a number of the more popular sports. Neither rain nor mud could keep the speedball couriers from carrying the mail as the boys batted the ball and each other around in spite of the weather. Flipping and flopping, the boys underwent a tumbling course as a part of the indoor program. The aches and groans were many, but they learned to tumble. ln spite of its feminine aspects, volleyball was readily accepted by the boys as one of the most popular and interesting sports. UPPERCLASS GYM The basketball program consisted of two versions of the cage game: sideline basket- ball and commando basketball. The former was played by passing the ball to excess play- ers on the side of the court. The latter explains itself. ln the few weeks of cold weather that were experienced by Oakland County, a lot of ice-skating was done on the pond in the woods behind the school. Bill Smithson, below, demonstrates why this appealed to the boys and girls so much. Softball managed to take up the majority of the warm spring weather, as the bats, balls, and gloves were hauled out of the attic for another year of 'the national pastime! ..:..'e- - , f r -5112-' I I ' . f ' .

The Cabin Boys, as the junior varsity football team was named, managed to cop two wins from a five-game schedule, for a .400 average. The Cabin Boys' hit pay dirt for the first time as they tripped Bloomfield 14-6, with Iim Amos and Henry Lanctot scoring the points that broke the back of the Bloomfield I.V. In the final game, Jim Amos went across for two more touchdowns as W.T.H.S. dropped Detroit Country Day 14-7 for the second win. FRESHMAN GYM The freshman gym classes passed quickly under the supervision of Mr. Hackett. The underclassmen experienced a number of new activities, including boxing, wrestling, box-hockey, and weight-lifting, in addition to the old stand-bys of basketball, touch football, softball, and speedball. On the left, jim Amos Qrightl sets him- self for a left into the face of Buddy Thomason. In the picture on the right, two of the freshie boys attempt to pin each other, while a third is waiting for the count.
