TENNIS--1935 Tennis players realize the mental and physical benefit from this worth while sport. Not only are lstrength, skill and accuracy greatly developed by the members of 'the group but they are acquiring a pleasant means of using leisure time in later years. The tennis contest was just a school contest held in Rocky Ford. Shirley Mae Williams was ithe winner of the girls single.s and Marian Herring and Dorothy Slaughter were the .winners of the girls' idoubles. Ralph Goins Won the boys' singles and Earl Heckman and Larry McQuerrey won the boys' doubles. A tournament was ,scheduled in Trinidad but because of continuous rainy weather, they were unable to play. A concrete court was presented to the school as a gift from the class of '30 land 31. GIRLS' GYM CLASSES The purposie of girl's physical education is three fold: To improve health To develop sportsmanship To stlimulate interest in girl's sports as a means of healthful recreation during leisure ltime. This year, there are 210 enrolled in these classes. Under the direction of Miss Lois Wolfe, they have marching tactics, exercises, and games. In the fall, they play circle games and volley ball, after Christmas, balsketball, and in the spring baseball 'amid clogging. Having many experfienced track men, Rocky Ford was able to take first place in the Valley Track Meelt, which was held in Rockry Ford. The following towns participated in the meet: Rocky Ford, La Junta, Las Animas, Lamar and Trinidad. We out-poir: ted all our opponents wth our constant second, third, and fourth places.
