Elementary Sports SPOFTS SUMMARY The school year 1952-53 saw us trying an experiment at Waverly in our sports program. We began basketball earlier than usual in the hopes that we might make a better showing in our competition than we did last year. Because of the fact that only outdoor facilities were available to us during most of the season, we attempted to make up for this by beginning our season earlier, competing against high school 'CW and 'DW basketball teams Owho play during the regular football seasonj, and thereby being in a better position to offer more even competition to the larger schools that we play during the regular basketball season. Scores of our games will show that our plan succeeded. While this was in operation, Mr. Rovetta formed a touch-football team to play some of the smaller schools in our area and to give some of the boys who would not otherwise experience competition on the field, an opportunity to play. Though outmanned, they managed to defeat Collegeville, Greenwood and Linden. They lost to Glenwood and Linden, and in a third game tied Linden. In the meantime, the basketball team played Oakdale, Lodi, Linden Ripon and Escalon. While scores were kept, we counted these games as practise sessions, inasmuch as the teams we played were all high school students. Our beet effort was against Lodi when the grape town boys eked out a two point win over our NA's. During the time when the boys were playing touch-football and basketball, the girls were playing volleyball. Mr. Ward coached his 7th and Sth grade girls to victories over Linden Elementary and Linden High freshmen, while they lost one close contest to the Linden frosh and two to Stockton High girls. Since the close of these seasons, all of the students, both girls ,and boys have been looking forward to softball and track. Our primary purpose in providing these extra-curricular activities is to give the upper grade students some worthy activity to occupy some of their leisure time. After the touch-football season, the Waverly School Citizens Committee sponsored out sports program, when restrictions were applied that would have otherwise eliminated them entirely. The students of Waverly sincerely appreciate this, and have dedicated this annual to the Committee in hopes that it might show our lappreciation to them.
