Athletics COACH HARRIS Much of the success of the athletic teams is due to the effective coaching of Mr- Harris. Himself a former professionel player with the Portsmouth Spartans, he is adequately and pecularily qualified to instruct in both the theory and practice of competitive games. His athletic prowess, his scholastic at-tainmems, and his moral integrity make him a desirable leader of the young people. E. D- HARRIS FOOTBALL The fooiball season of 1933-1934 proved to be successful if not sensational- While the team w’as not an undefeated one, it is to be recalled that the schedule of games was ambitious and difficult. Two class A teams were encountered during the season, results of which were not discouraging nor disgraceful. The team as a whole was characterized by bulldog tenacity which enabled them to carry on in adversity. Deprived of four of its stars when facing an extremely difficult schedule, the squad kept its morale. Withstanding misfortune which would have wrecked a lesser club, it emerged with a fairly successful season’s record. The loss to next year’s football squad of the class of 1934 will be sorely felt- Ten of this season’s squad who will graduate from scholas ic activities have graduated through four seasons of hard drill and rough experience, furnishing scrub material for teams who have r'sen to greater glory. May this spirit characterize these individuals in future years and qualify the football teams yet to be developed. FOOTBALL TEAM, INDIVIDUALS EDWARD WI PERT—End— Ed is a senior and was elected honorary captain of the team. Altkouah he is light in weight he was the outstanding p’.ayer of the year.
