Despite its lower % of males, the Quad placed fifth out of the eleven houses in the Strauss Cup race. With house-owned volleyball sets, 3 weight-room, four clay tennis courts soon to be enclosed in a dome, backboards, a basketball court across the street, and a planned building of squash courts, we get our exercise far from the exhaust fumes of Mt.
