SWIMMING Swimming was divided into a duo season, with the tirst halt scheduled for the tall semester. Two ot our popular and capable instructors planned the tall intramural swimming meet tor October 3. The Blue squad, made up of girls from each division, chalked up the most points. Many novelty events as well as races and diving contests were incorporated into the carnival. The night- gown race, in which the girls attempted to swim the length ot the pool in record time, proved to be the most humorous. The daily newspapers were scanned with interest from the water as the girls, swimming on their backs, tried to keep their journals dry. The most enjoyable event was the watermelon race. After study hall the winning team gathered around a crackling tire in the bar- becue pit to devour the melon. On the eleventh ot March the surface ot the pool was broken tor the first time in the new year. The following week swimming was begun in the after- noon gym class, and soon afternoon classes in junior lite saving and diving were started. OUR BEAUTIFUL PLUNGE Qi V y,, . , -, .I E . ,I

It is said to be true by English riding masters that a rider must fall from his mount six times before he can attain perfection. Americans state that the number is three, but the Ranchoettes have proved the exception to the rule. ln relation to the fine riders and the number of riding days in the school year, there are comparatively few falls and accidents. The elementary girls are perhaps the most fond of the equestrian art, especially when trick riding on the two tiny Shetland ponies, Punch and ludy, is offered. When the girls return their favorite ponies to the stable from the last ride of the year, there is no doubt but that the remorse in their hearts is much the same as that of the Arab chieftain who is forced to sell his be- loved friend and comrade on the auction block.
