A captain was chosen from each grade and a fourth was appointed by Mr. Chester. In the past six months the teams have been com- peting and when the results were announced, team one was the win- ner, team four was second, team two third and team three fourth. As the teams were unfairly match- ed, Mr. Chester decided to have new teams chosen, The winning team will be awarded a prize in June. We boys also have a foot- ball which we bought ourselves, each boy was interested bringing 10 cents. We have given up one physical education period a week for military training. We formed a company and went, officers and all, one a four-mile route march. —Stanley Emerson. Grades 7, 8 and 9 girls have physical education on Monday and Wednesday afternoons.
