RIDING Riding is one of Marlborough's favorite sports. lt is carried on under the direction of Miss Beckley, who has done much to forward interest in horses. The girls ride at Griffith Park Riding Academy twice a week. The Gymkhana at the Academy was a great success. Wheelbarrow races, egg and spoon contests, jumping for beginners and experienced riders, hunt teams and Cossack riding furnished an exciting afternoon for spectators and riders. Vernette Ripley was considered the best all-around rider, and Patsy lanss, second. The Los Angeles ninth annual Horse Show was held from March l to 8. As usual, Marlborough was very well represented. Our school class, composed of Margaret Brandel, Barbara Albertson, Alma Lloyd and Edwine Montague, won third place. Katherine Roberts, Vernette Ripley and jacqueline Smith also represented the school. For the first time in the history of Marlborough, Miss Beckley felt that our jumpers were ready to enter the open class. This class had nothing to do with the school at all. lt is a class composed of experienced amateurs and profes- sionals. Our girls entered this class, which has the highest jumps of any, on horses many of which had never been in the show ring before. The girls who jumped in this open class were: Ann Arneill, Catherine Van Wart, Kathleen McCartney and janet Crump. and their performance was very fine. Katy Mc- Cartney won second place in the road hack class. Many experienced riders con- gratulated Miss Beckley on the splendid performances of these girls. She her- self was very, very proud of their work. Catherine Van Wart rode one of Mr. Kellogg's Arabian horses. Her own horse won second place. We are all very proud of our riders and feel that they and Miss Beckley de- serve a great deal of credit. in .1-. ,. iw -. 63 ki, .-

LA SENORITA TRACK Track, although a minor sport, always creates great interest throughout the school. There is a sport for everyone, and everyone can do something. Those with long legs jump, the strong ones throw basketball and baseballs for distance records, and the swift ones run. We hope the season will be a great success. BASEBALL This year baseball continued as one of the most interesting of school sports. We chose a school team as we have in former years, and continued to play out- ARCHERY Mrs. La Prelle has been the head of archery this year and under her tute- lage the girls have developed into excellent marksmen. This is the first year of archery but many have joined the class and have chased arrows all over Third FENCING Under Professor Uyttenhove the fencing class won a tournament with Cum- nock and further distinguished themselves. Fencing has always been successful GOLF The golf class, in its third year at Marlborough, flourished and Miss Aitken TENNIS The tennis pupils had another successful year under the direction of Mrs. Doeg. At the first of the term the doubles championship was won by Carolin Babcock and Betty Mae Philp, As the annual went to press, the Ojai doubles championship was being played.
