This was the only outside competition which was held. On Recognition Day the winner, Elinor Lewis, was pre- sented with a gold medal. The second place was won by Kay Moran. ARGHERY RCHERY is one of the most popular individual sports and is open to all members of the Senior High School. During the year we have had many tournaments, some interclass and some with other schools. In the fall of the year we had a Halloween Tournament which proved as exciting to the spectators as to the participants. ln December we were the guests of Kenwood at Santa Monica. Orton and Kenwood were our guests in March, and in May we enjoyed a tournament at Orton. Marlborough Archers distinguished themselves in every meet, and won not only individual but school prizes as well. Particular mention should be made of the fine shooting of Elizabeth Dolley and Elinor Lewis. The final meet of the year was the interclass and individual competition which came in May, GOLF OLE has grown in interest at Marlborough this year. Under the expert instruction of Miss Aiken, the Golfers make trips to various putting greens and driving ranges. Their scores are growing steadily smaller as their proficiency increases. The Golf Tournament in May completed the year for the Golfers. RIDING IDING has always been a popular sport at Marlborough. Every Thursday of fair weather a class meets at Griffith Park, and whether they ride in the ring or go out on the trail, every girl finds her acquaintance with her horse improving with every ride. The big event of the year is the Gymkhana when poor potatoes are stuck with spears, wheel barrows tip over, and

Although the other members of the team were not successful in bringing home championships, they played excellent tennis, and since all of these girls will be with us next year, what may we not hope for in the way of victory? DANCING ANCING at Marlborough is considered a sport and can be taken along with the gymnasium work. The Seniors are the only ones who may specialize in it, however. The classes are divided so that the girls having more experi- ence in the art may progress accordingly. The pupils in the other divisions are promoted to the advanced group as soon as they are ready for it. Being in the lower division does not mean, however, that girls are not able to take part in dancing events. Everyone may have an equal chance in all programs. Dancing is the only one of the sports which assists with the dramatic performances of the school. Some of the programs are the following: the Christmas Festival to which the Morris Dance and the Minuet add color, Senior Night, Class Programs, etc. Of course the Dance Recital on May 26 need hardly be men- tioned, for no one can forget it. lt consisted of Scarf Dances, a series of Waltz Melodies, a contribution by the Lower School, and several other dance novelties. The direction of Miss Hill has brought new beauty to the work of the Marlborough dancers, and each year we look forward eagerly to the pleasure that she has in store for us.
