Track, soccer and basketball
takes up this lads time during the
scholastic sports season at HyattS-
vile High.
In each sport he's "tops." The
broad jump and javelin are his
specialties in track, a half-back
position is his in soccer, while a
guard post keeps him busy in bas-
ketball.
This winter, Joyce has been a
distinct adjunct to the HyattSvilles
in basketball. His play aided no
little in the title his team captured
and the big thought is the fact
he won't be back for athletics next
year. Joyce will be graduated in
June.
