One of the favorite sports of the sixth hour Girl's Teams class at U. S. Grant is softball. Miss Sughru, physical education teacher, coaches this group of girls. Their record this year was, 1 win, 1 tie, and 2 losses. ln order to participate in softball and to make the team, the girls must stay after school for an hour of practice each day. This year about twenty-five girls could be seen bustling about the softball diamond each afternoon, practicing their catching, pitching and batting techniques. Softball season begins the day school starts and ends after the last game is played, which is about the middle of Oc- tober. After the members of the team are chosen, U. S. G. competes with four other schools in the city. ln the Grant and Capitol Hill softball game, Capitol Hill came out on top, 15-11. Grant lost their second game to Southeast. 24-7. Douglas lost to the Generals 17-10. Finally U. S. G. tied with Central 6-6. The girls softball team consists of L. Harrisong K. .lohnsong S. McCeain3 J. Sullivan, B. Coreyg J. Wardg S. Ruiseg L.

The girls at U. S. Grant have almost as large a selection to choose from in the field of sports as the boys do. Not even in this strenuous field of educa- tion and training are the girls put aside or for- gotten. ln the sixth hour Girlis Teams class, the more athletic ladies at U. S. G. have the opportunity to compete with their fellow classmates and. in turn, to compete with other teams of different schools in the Oklahoma City school sy stem. At the beginning of the school year in Septem- ber the girls immediately began their softball sea- son. Games were played with four other schools in the city. Softball season was over about the middle of October. Following softball was volleyball season. The U. S. G. team played one game with each school in the city in a Round Robin Schedule. The season was completed in December. The Basketball games were played much in the same fashion with Grant playing each school in the city. This season was over in February. Table Tennis and Badminton were both practiced during March and April until the City'-Wicle Ten- nis Tournament on April 8 and lO. Girls on the tennis team practice their preferred sport all year round. Gzrls as Well as Boys V ' . c si T . . T 4 5 Q?
