BULLSEYE EXPERTS BASKETBALL BAsKa'rnALL proved to be the most popular indoor winter sport this year. The turnouts attracted a large number of enthusiastic girls who kept coming back for more all through the season. M The girls were divided into teams according to their classes and the lower classmen often gave the juniors and seniors a run for their money. Manager Miriam Watson said, In no time, the freshmen and eighth graders who turned out learned all the rules and most of the tricks, too. At any rate, it was a good season and we still say vve can beat the boys any day. The faculty? Well, not yet. av Some of the outstanding players were seniors, Helene Seastrom and Miriam Watson, and sophomores, Carolyn Johnson, Diane Darnell, Eleanor Jensen, and Rosa Lee Cummings. an At the end of the basketball season, there was a party for all the girls who had been participating. An exciting game, a free shot contest, and refresh- ments were the highlights of the party as The girls' playing improved steadily through the seasonf' stated Miss Pauline Thomas, gym teacher. Especially the seniors, who had an eye toward the basketball award. 40: The Basketball Inspirational Award is presented to a deserving senior girl each year. ARCHERY JARCHERY seems to be playing an increasingly large part in girls' and women's sports pro- grams the last few years. Here at Queen Anne a group of young Dianas assembled with their bows and arrows each Friday afternoon in the gym to improve their techniques in archery. 44 as Under the expert guidance of Miss Thomas the girls received valuable instruction in practicing their skills. The lessons and ma- terials were available without charge and a large group took advantage of these oppor- tunities. They included Rosa Lee Cummings, Ruth White, Eleanorjensen, Carolynjohnson, Diane Darnell, Miriam Watson, Lila Armen- trout, Susan Bledsoe and Norma Borgford. 4477ESpCCia11y adept at hitting the bull's eye were Helene Seastrom and June Erickson. 44: To promote muscular coordination and also, to make sure that everyone was shooting at the same time, the archers often shot their arrows in time with the music supplied by Miriam Watson at the piano. M Although the girls used regular sharp, pointed arrows, which would be dangerous in the hands of careless persons, there were no casualties, thanks to the vigilance of Miss Thomas and the cooperation of the girls. 447 This was the lirst year archery was included in the Club's sports program, but turnout results were so favorable and it became so popular that a repeat performance is planned for next year.
