With the announcement that the

^manifest among the students, who
are alrsdy inking predictions as to
the outcome.

• Rivalry ITaaa
Each year, the students look for-
ward. with pleasant anticipataoh to
the dais games. Rivalry is keen and
the Interest which is created serves
as a “pep” producer among the stu
dents and prepares them for the
important role hi which they will
later serve as “rooters” oh the side
lines at the varsity games.
During the past two years, class
rivalry has been at an unusually
high pitch. .'Two" years ago, the
league ended in a tie between the
Coarmerce and Pre-lfed. teams. Last
year, the Commerce quintet brought
home the bacon, which was consid
ered a signal honor as this school
hag five of the seven regulars on She
varsity squad, norm of whom ware eL

chief factors which contributed to
