PEAKING of Greek athletes, they had nothing on the Washington high school femmes who organized an Athletic Association in January under the sponsor- ship of Misses Loehr and Workman. The pledge was taken by one hundred girls, now charter members. The club gave banquets for basketball and hockey players at the close of each season. In the spring, the organization entertained other high schools with play days which included regular gym work, volley ball, games, and contests. Members of the organization who earn 400 points in athletics will be given a monogram, 1000, an old English Wg and 2,000, a C. G. A. A. sweater. The purpose of the organization is to stimulate interest in athletic activities and health work. The initial ofiicers elected were: president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, health manager, yell leader, hockey manager, basketball manager, baseball manager, tennis manager, volleyball manager, track and field manager. The girls' basketball team played one game this season with Shortridge and was defeated 21-13 in a fast game. The team was chosen from members of the A league which is made up of experienced players. The B league consists of beginners and those having little experience. These leagues are divided into teams which have tournaments, and the winning teams are presented with silver ftinj cups at the annual basketball banquet. This year the season ended with a junior-senior game, won 25-14 by the seniors, who rallied in the last half after trailing in the first two quarters. .1191 In ' 'nn win: nu uuflu--uilfurwz BULLEYg Ground-Sticks, Ground-Sticks, Ground-Sticks, Crash! The girls' hockey team broke into action with fifty girls answering the call for hockey last fall. They were divided into four teams captained by Nancy Baumhoffer, Jane Fletemeyer, Margaret Groff, and Reva Wright, and an intramural tournament was held. Nancy Baumhooffer's team won the tournament, defeated the other three of the four teams. The Shortridge and Washington teams traveled to Richmond to play the opener for the Chicago-Earlham game. The game ended in a 0-0 tie. After the game the girls were entertained with a tea by the Earlham girls. At the end of the season a hockey banquet was held and the A and B teams were selected. With ice underfoot the A and B teams play to a 3 to 3 tie, which was the final decision. Josie Brisnick was elected next year's hockey manager. E261

UNO-D7 Something similar to this happens every morning in the school clinic on the first floor. There is an average of thirty-five calls a day for everything from mumps to measles. The greater number of injuries are, however, minor cuts, burns, bruises, and sprains. In a record book are kept the name of each patient and the report of his illness. In a file is a record of every call made to the clinic during the pupil's four years in higih school. These files are kept by student helpers who aid the nurse in treating minor cases. What a comfort it is to have a nurse and a clinic in time of distress! , nufnn uuinnl4nllllnu-.uni nninn-un PHYSICAL EDUCATION is one of the most important courses in school. It strength- ens both body and mind, and makes us fit for other studies. The girls are divid- ed into four classes, the Gym I's, Il's, III's, IV's, and advanced, and have definite aims for each class. There are certain activities common to all classes such as basket- ball, volleyball, baseball, track, tumbling, and apparatus which vary in diiiiculty ac- cording to classes. Dancing is grouped so that the Gym I's have rythm, Gym II's folk dancing, Gym III's tap dancing, and Gym IV's and advanced, a combination of all these. The athletic activities are rather seasonal. In autumn we have the annual tennis tour- nament, and hockey: in winter we have basketball, which is the only sport at that time: in spring we have baseball, volleyball, tennis, track, and field. This is the fullest season in the school year. The gym exhibition is given by the girls and boys, and is usually divided into three parts: first, the girls doing tumbling, rhythm work, and exercises: second, the boys: and third, folk and modern dancing in the native costumes. This year the girls formed an athletic organization under the sponsorship of Miss Loehr and Miss Workman. The boys' gym classes have a series of activities common to all of the classes. Naturally, the more difficult stunts are given to the advanced students. The gym classes have tumbling, apparatus, exercises, contests, and games. They play class basketball and volleyball, and in the spring they go outside for baseball. Each year the boys have a track meet of all the classes combined, and ribbons are awarded to the out- standing boys. In the annual gym exhibition, the boys show these activities as they are done during classes. They show beginning and advanced tumbling and apparatus, and different games and contest. I28I
