Doris Tambussi, ’36 ATHLETICS This year the high school has tried to present an athletic program consisting of three sports: track, basketball and baseball. Both Mr. Col¬ lins and Mr. Robert Jackson as directors of athletics have tried to get as many boys as possible to enjoy some sport. From September to November the boys trained for track. In No¬ vember, a cross-ccuuntry race was held. Turkeys were given as prizes to those who placed first and second. Victor Malec and James Price were the lucky trackmen. After the track season was over, the boys began practicing basket¬ ball. If there had been adequate equipment, the boys would have made a much better showing. The team would have been a hundred per cent, better if the school had had a gymnasium where regular practice might have been carried on. However, in spite of this lack of equipment the spirit of the team was very good. This spring the baseball team was considered weak since five of its veterans graduated last year, but after the season started, the team turned out to be a good one, not only hard to beat, but noted for its good sports¬ manship. The baseball schedule is as follows:— W.
