The interclass compe- tition, however, is very keen as was shown in the class basketball tournaments. The Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors each won two games in the Round Robin, but the Juniors were declared the winners by virtue of the best offensive and defensive play in all their games. Phyllis Hullstrom was again awarded the free-throfw contest, making 7 out of 10 free shots. The tumbling team is also sponsored by this club. It performed during the ha-lves of the home games. For being on the team each member received 100 points. Points are earned in the following sports, stretching over a period of four years: hiking, skating., skiing, toboggan- ing, basketball, kittenball, tennis, golf, ping pong, hunting, and field ball.
