The wonderful cooperation
in the athletic department in
the first year of their working
together for Mr.. Kenneth Engel,
Miss Lois Burton, Mr.. Aatos
Nikkila, and Mr.. Donald
Rhodes helped more students
earn awards this year, improv-
ed the fotball team, brought
home the basketball champion
ship, and gave a lift to the
morale of the entire student
body.
The enthusiasm shown in the
expert planning of the cere--
monies by Mrs. Grace Bradley,
popular director of Y-Teens,
and aided by Mrs. Lou Wilder,
the Y-Teen Club members and
their mothers, expressed their
satisfaction and pride for the
accomplishments in sports this
year.
The program consisted of the

Because of the possibility of
students in sports winning sew
eral letters, the athletic depart
ment decided to give the school
letter only the first year, a
silver pin representing the par
ticular sport in which it is
earned for the second year, a
gold pin for the third year.
and a gold cup if the athlete
won a fourth letter.
Since the basketball players
are a championship team this
year, all members of the squad
were presented with a pin
which had the letters
CHAMPS hanging on it
from a chain.
One of the most ENJOYABLE
par is of the evening was the
coronation ceremonies and the
dance held for the King and
Queen of Sports. Johanna Hum
mel presented the crown and
flowers to her highness Queen
Carol Huriett. Carol is also
vice president of GAA and the
Honor Society. The Kings scep-
