Our physical education program includes four main sports-basketball, volley ball, baseball, and hockey. Hockey was a new sport introduced last year, but it was not used as a point sport until this year. Some of the other opportun- ities for winning points are provided by, tennis, quoi-tennis, badminton. hikes, and taking part in the carnival. All of these points go for awards. Each girl making six hundred points per year receives a felt letter. XVhen she obtains her third letter she receives a G. A. A. gold pin. Our social program included a mother-daughter party, a japanese dinner, and a German dinner. Fine leadership has also been shown in our weekly meet- ings, the carnival. the parties, and the dinners. Very commendable work was done in the planning and execution of our play day, in which approximately six hundred students participated. VVe also had several money-making enterprises in order to make possible the successful functioning of our organization. Besides the dinners and carnival already mentioned we sold noon lunches. So you see we played together, had fun together, and learned the value of teamwork together-all of which made possible for us n very successful year. THE LETTER SOCIETY Beulah Phillips ,e.,......e,,.

This is awarded them after they have proved themselves outstanding in athletics by earning at least 600 points. The points are won by participating in the various sports, by being a captain, by being an officer. or by going on group hikes of five miles or more. As an organization the society has not had any definite program, as it has been incorporated with the G. A. A., but the girls hope to have a peppy club of their own to tell you about in the next Recuerdos. y 4 ' B. P.-'35 136-

FEATU R E S-VVhy VVe Laugh In spite of studies and the Cougar Cry and football and Honor Society and debate, we End lots of time to enjoy our school and ourselves. Perhaps it's because of our activity, rather than in spite of it, that we haven't let the depression affect our spirits. Or maybe we just don't know any better. At all events the following pages accurately reiiect a sizable portion of our school life. Do you remember?
