SOCCER Continuing the long established custom of a soccer game between the seventh grade girls and the first form boys of Cranbrook who attended Brookside, and the fifth and sixth grades of Brookside, a game was played this fall at Kingswood. Brook side won. Another old custom is the upper versus lower school game. This year the upper school came out on top. HOCKEY The chief fall sport in the upper school is field hockey. A varsity team is chosen from the Blue and Gold teams, and this team plays other schools. This year the girls again played in the Private School League competing with Lawrence Avenue Convent of Detroit, the Grosse Pointe Convent and Grosse Pointc Country Day. They won two of their three games and placed second in the tournament. Two games were played with Vaughan School, Kingswood winning both, and several practice games were held with Lawrence Avenue Convent. Two girls were given positions on the all-Detroit Private School Teams. They were Janet Farrell, full-back on the first team, and Trientje Hood, right-wing on the second team. This year the ninth grade had a hockey team of their own, playing two outside games with Vaughan, one here and one there. This is the second year that hockey has been offered to the ninth graders, and it has proven to be a very popular plan with all Kingswood freshmen. WINTER SPORTS Eek Look out Here we come! The Kingswood girls are on their way down the toboggan slide. The wind whistles by as down and down they go. to pile up in a great heap at the end of the ride. This is one way of spending the afternoon at Kingswood. In a cloud of snow, a brown object swishes wildly past us. followed by other figures, emitting loud cries and shrieks. A moment later cries of anguish are heard from below, 'file skiers have reached solid ground. We pass on from these happy scenes to Cranbrook Lake- especially to that small patch in the middle, cleared of snow, where we see bright figures flitting back and forth. The skating season is also in full swing now. A leg is gracefully stretched up to the heavens as a Sonja Henie fan docs a “dying swan. Suddenly a whistle blows. Girls hurry from the ice toward school, and the afternoon sports period is over. TENNIS In SPRING our attention is drawn to the tennis courts where each year are held two Michigan State Tournaments, the Junior Girls’ Tournament and the Girls’ Tournament. These tourna- ments are played during May, and girls from many localities enter. In the past few years, Kingswood students have made a fine showing in both tournaments. Besides these State contests, Kingswood holds its own tournament, this being open to all the students. The winner’s name is placed on the 01en Wallace Memorial Cup, which is kept from year to year by the school. [57] Ann Parker

THE WINTER DANCE March NINTH found Kingswood’s halls echoing with the mingled strains of laughter and Marvin Frederick’s orchestra. Using as its theme “Stardust the dining hall was beautifully decorated with stars, white balloon clouds, and blue crepe paper sky. After the dance, break- fast was served. Credit for this very successful dance is due to Barbara Booth, Sallie Holden, Barbara Pfohl, Maricta Krejci, Ada Ward, Evalina Brown, and Roxana Haynes. Mrs. Rey- nolds. and Mr. Wentz. CARNIVAL Using as ITS theme a Crinoline Bazaar of the late 1800'$, the autumn festival was unusually successful. A rose-entwined picket fence, potted shrubs, and blue background gave die gym- nasium a festive atmosphere which was enhanced by the graceful ante-bellum costumes of the guests. A program of singing, dancing, and skits was followed by dancing to the music of Al Cox’s orchestra. “The best ever” was the general concensus of opinion. [59]
