ATHLETICS Early last fall we all returned to school full of pep, eager to begin the new year. Interest in athletics is al- ways keen. As soon as our honorable captains. Dorothy LaGasa and Betty Garrett, were elected by the Blues and Golds, respeaively, they chose new members for their teams from among the new friends we found with us. Then began team competition. What spon it was to go out on the hockey field to face our mighty opponents, the Golds or the Blues, whichever they might be. Or, if it so happened that some of us were not hockey-minded, wasn ' t it uplifting to cheer until we were hoarse just to show the team we were behind them, always? Yes, in- deed, whatever the spon, we love to show our strong team spirit and a great respea for the opposing team as well. Final games always bring a thrill. When the time came for the final hockey game, the Golds boasted one game and had tied with the Blues in another. Victory came finally to the Golds. In basketball the final game was won by the Golds v! n - - p-!v after ' heavy fighting. On Dad s Day our swimming classes staged an ex- hibition. We had a meet to show the dads what we could do. Everyone tried to swim in her best form. We noticed especially some of our divers. One of the funniest pictures in our memories of that meet is the undressing race, when swimmers struggled frantically toward the goal, enveloper hwnc vr fi| ' ( S!r rr.er : and trailing middy sleev Winter sports have been hailed . great enthusi- asm this year. A Ski Club was formed, of which Johnnie Bruce was elected president. Three trips to the moun- tain were enjoyed, and on one of them a formal initia- tion of all members was held, The girls all appreciate Miss Wilson ' s interest in forming this club and hope that it may prosper. We hope, also, to see Miss Wilson skiing with us next year. To Mrs. Griggs the members also wish to give a vote of .nV f - h - ' ir- r - sentation of ski emblems. The early spring brought games of vulleybali and newcomb. After many close contests the Blues came out with top score. They aho won the archery contest, with Elizabeth Goode as high scorer. Field Day completed the year of sports for us. The tennis singles were played off with Alice Ohlson ruruier-up and Dorothy LaGasa winner. These two opponents showed their friendly spirit in teaming together for tennis doubles, and lo and behold! they triumphed. We had an impressive ex- hibition of drill work and tumbling as an example of what correaive classes did for us. Posture was included also. On the evening of May Day the annual Athletic Ban- quet was held, which we shall not forget for long years. Here ' s to Miss Leiter who is full of ideas! The girls tnade their own table decorations, and weren ' t they clever! The centerpiece on each table represented a spon, and a prize, coming as a surprise, was awarded the ar- tists who designed the centerpiece representing the minia- ture swimming pool. The programs we found at our places will be among our cherished possessions, for in them we wrote the names of those who received awards. Let us mention a few of them. The diving cup went to Frances Young; the swimming cup to Barabara Crites; the high-point cup to Jane Bourne; the ski cup to Betty June Howe, The Shield, the team award, was captured by the Golds by a slight margin. The great moment of the evening came when Elaine Tubbs, this year ' s key girl, announced Sue Fisher as the girl she had chosen to be her successor. And what fun it was to have greet- ings telegraphed from the Seminary girls at both Stanford and Mills. It made us feel that they were all back here with us. There was another delightful surprise, too — the extra of THE CREST. All about the Ath-a-letic Banquet! That Third Monkey always has hi say! The excitement of it all! Our team games are over, but we still have time to join hands irv! s fo- i Rah! Rah! Sports days are best

RAMBLINGS THROUGH MEMORY Can you remember ' way hack when it was the first day of school? Remember how grand it was to sec all your old pals again — to meet the cute new girls who sat around looking lonely and scared? But everything has changed now. We are all good friends, looking forward to Commencement and vacation. Some of us, however, have rather an empty feeling in our heans which comes from realizing that the year is almost over and that we shall all travel on new paths away from School. But in all our journeys we shall carry with us memories of the grand and glorious fun we had at the Seminary. Seniors, remember the Sorority dance on November sixteenth? That was great fun, even if the orchestra was terrible. With serpentine and football balloons, goal posts and spotlights the gymnasium was completely trans- formed. Remember that afternoon Don Blanding, vagabond poet, spent with us? How thrilled we were over the poetry he read us and how we all rushed to get his auto- graphs! We noticed several of his books around after- wards. Remember Mrs. Schrottky, Girl Scout dramatics direc- tor, who talked to us one afternoon? Remember those expressive hands of hers and how she told us. Watch your hands, or they will betray you! Stunt night! Ah, yes. The Seniors ' treasure hunt with Lois Parker and Barbara Miles carryini? off the buried gold. The Juniors ' Turkey Trot— will we ever forget it? The way they made us work, thinking up skits. The Sophomores ' Carnival was almost perfea. We loved the way Lois Parker barked for us to come to see the side shows. Outstandinj? memories — the mountain trips. The first trip was the best, we think, because we were there long- er. The second trip was great fun too. because then we had the Ski Club initiation. The third time most of us missed, but those who went — remember the beautiful sunburns? But all the trips were grand sport Speaking of sports, the Blues and Golds have come through mar- velouslv this year, with many exciting games. Tf v in the fall, those tense basketball «ames. the ' ind the swimmme exhibition on Dad ' s Dav. i .ne thin? does lead to another! Well never forget Dad ' s Day. The way our dads got out there and volleyballed for all thev were worth, and baseball, too. even if it did rain a drop or two. The wav they carried on at the dinner was fun. too — they all had the grandest time sin ?in«. We were terribly sorry to see them go. Remember February twentv-second? Ah. yes. the Junior Frolic. Many gay couples danced to the rhythmic strains of Louis Grenier and his orchestra beneath a c; nopy of red, white, and blue. Mail galore came in ifter the dance, proving the Frolic to be a grand suc- cess. Congratulations. Juniors! The yearly benefit bridge tea given by the Seniors on F »bruarv fifteenth was a grand success. An atmosphere of Rav friendliness pervaded the flower-decked Great Hall filled with busy card players. Peeking over the balcony at the Hop. we certainly envied those Sophomores and Freshmen, having such a good time. The gymnasium didn t look like the same old place, all decorated with tulips and garden furniture. Some of the best of the many exLciiciu icctures and concerts we have attended this year were those of Ad- miral Byrd (remember those adorable penguins?); young Eugene Linden ' s Philharmonic concerts; Nelson Eddy (ah, me!); Trudi Schoop; Mrs. Clark Gould ' s excellent reviews of ' Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn; the Globe Players ' presentations of Shakespeare; and Sarah Truax Alben ' s dramatic reading of Mary of Scotland. Remember how good Miss Egley and Mrs. Hiatt were in ' The Doll ' s House, given by the Little Theater Guild? On February sixteenth a reception was held in honor of Mrs. Herbert Hoover, who was touring the country ' in the interests of the Girl Scouts. She gave a very inter- esting little talk, and her charming personality warmed the heans of all the girls. Will we ever forget the Christmas Banquet — those marvelous golden brown turkeys and the singing? The Carol Service afterwards in the Chapel surpassed all our expeaations. And the way the Seniors serenaded us after everything was over — the finishing touch. Sen- iors, remember what fun ih?r n r-v wi we had in Miss Wilson ' s apanmcnt? When we returned after bpnn ,i .L[ion, there in the Chapel was the ne ' organ. Will you ever forget how thrilled we were — especially the Choir — the - ' e we heard its inspiring tones? Important memory — the Junior Prom. Remember what fun we had at dinner, and later, dancing ' neath a tropical moon and waving palms. Again may we offer congratulations to the Junior class for a grand dance. A memory to keep and cherish all our lives is that of May Day. So beautiful and gracious was our Queen Burdette that Old Sol dried his tears and smiled espe- cially for her. Her court in their lovely net dresses and wide hats looked good enough to eat. At the Athletic Banquet that night, presided over capably by Elaine Tubbs. we were all happv and proud to see the Key awarded to Sue Fisher. The toasts and speeches at the Banquet were all excellent— we even noticed a tear or two when it was all over. Remember our surprise when on Friday, May fif- teenth, in walked the Hill Military Academy band? Wasn ' t it fun to have dinner with them in the cafeteria, to listen to their exrellent band, and then later to dance in the gym nasi ur How we h »tfd to w those bovs RO? This year with a very capable staff the CREST has been successfully enlarged from a quarterly paper to a monthly magazine.
