And after the seasons for all but track AvereOATer, several boys of the school started agitation for A^ariousother teams to be organized and schedules made for realinter-school competition.The result of this agitation Avas that a swimming team Avasorganized. Then next came golf and tennis. All of thesesports had been offered at some time before in the highschool, but neA^er had all of them flourished at the same timeas they did this year. The main good effect of this Avas thatit got a great many boys of the school out for some form ofathletics. At one time during the past spring the local insti-tion had nearly three hundred boys out for some sport.
