(6irla JJhiistral (tratmmt The physical training girls feel that they have had a most successful year in devoting their time to better health. At the beginning of the year twenty enrolled for class work and very few dropped out. Almost all of the girls worked for letters. In order to secure a numeral five hundred points were required. Points were given for regular class attendance, hikes of three miles or more, daily exercise, five hundred word essay, one hour of tennis a week for six weeks, skating, bicycle riding, etc. By the end of the year about eight girls will have letters. During the winter months two basket ball teams were arranged in the group. These teams played preliminary games at high school games and also town team games. On March 16, the Basket Ball fellows were entertained at the Presbyterian church basement. The toast list was as follows: Max Knudson, Toastmaster B—Bum.....................Donald Wake A—Athletics . ..............Sara Lister L—Losses................Florence Nelson L—Letters.................Ernest Nelson The theme of St. Patrick’s day was cleverly worked out in the table decorations. Miniature basket balls were given as favors. Kurth Nelson, basket ball captain, was presented with a gift by the fellows as a token of appreciation for his splendid leadership. Plans are now being made for next years work. It is hoped that the girls may join the State Athletic Association. Pearson Curt's F. Nelson M Keeshan Re d Masten Kennedy Miss Tracy A. Nelson Rockey L.
