These records should be filed in a place that can be locked, eliminating any
chance for them to be lost or tampered with. The students will naturally desire
to know from time to time how many points they have accumulated. This not only
requires a lot of time to look up but also tends to become quite monotonous. To
eliminate this and also to satisfy the student.a public record is recommended.

The record should include all of the students! names with spaces for each activity
that is offered in which points may be recorded. It will show at a glance the
number that participated in each event and the number of boys who participated in
the program throughout the season. It is further recommended that this record

be placed in a case with a glass door so that it may not be marked up.

The job of recording points may be done by the director or Intramural secretary.

LIMITATION OF AWARDS

There should be a limitation of the awards given by an intramural department,
as the greater share of the finances provided for this extra curricular activity
should go to the program itself and not for awards. The point system should be
organized with such a degree of difficulty that each individual cannot win too many
awards, but at the same time we must try to hold their interest in the program
after they have won their first award.

The Moorhead, Minnesota program realized this point and set up a plan whereby
the student could not win an award in less than a period of about two years. To
hold the interest after that time, service stripes were awarded for an additional
number of points.

The Long Beach, California. schools give a 4" letter for the first 300 points,
a star for each additional 200 points and a 5" letter for a total of 900 points.

The Highland Park, Illinois G. A. A. allow for five different awards in an
attempt to hold the girls'interest. The first one, for winning 35 points, is a
white numeral on a blue circular base. The second award, a blue H.G.A. emblem on
a white base is granted to any girl who has earned 70 points. The third award, a
small H.G.A. emblem in the form of a silver pin, is granted to any girl who has
earned 100 points. The fourth award, a blue H.G.A. and class numeral on a white
shield, is granted to any girl who has éarned 150 points. The fifth award, the
name of the girl on a plaque to be placed in the rest room, is granted to the
senior girl having the highest number of points at the end of her senior year.

In case of a tie both names are placed on the plaque.
