Basketball GATN the seniors copped a championship, this time in basketball, and a good deal of the credit should be given to these girls and their coach, Miss Lillian Brown. Wilining every practice game, the girls were ready to face any team and beat it. The players were: Captain Helen Hayes, Helen Goold, Margaret Seaver, Evelyn Castro, Marion Donaldson, Bessie Campbell, Marjorie Maring, and Marie Dietz. Team work had a lot to do with the winning of the game for the seniors, and they had lots of it. The team, under the supervision of Miss Brown, has practiced faithfully throughout the pre-season training, and all members of the team have rightfully earned their places. At the beginning of the season they were handicapped by the lack of experi- enced players, but in spite of difficulties, they came out victorious. Although the game with the freshmen ended the same as the one with the sophomores, it was not the same type of struggle. The difference was that the seniors played rings around the sophomores, as many spectators expressed it, while in the other game the teams were more evenly matched. .Yhzety i'

S. U. S. HIC Posture Shield organization is probably the most unusual of its kind. About one hundred girls have earned a posture shield this term. These are awarded to the girls with a good posture habit. It was first started in 1925. Only twenty-one girls had posture shields at that time, but with the great help of Miss Irma Rayburn, Miss Tennie Hansen, and Miss Hessie Hobbs, physical education instructors, there are almost Hve times that many at present. If a girl keeps her posture shield for Z1 second semester, she receives a stripe to go with her shield. Three stripes are the most that any girl can receive. Tennis ENNIS, although 1:ot one of the most popular sports, had a large turn-out this semester. It was coached by Miss Jennie Hansen. Practice was held every Thursday after school and every Saturday morning at the Belle Yista Playgrounds. The game sets were played between April 22 and May 12. The winners of tl1e Hrst round were: Ruth Bacon, Florence Foley, Marion Donaldson, Lois Gilmore, Charlotte Sanford, Edith Nelson, Adrienne breighton, Marguerite Baker, Maryan Rice, Leah Kapple, and Marion Canhan. .Vinety-two
