Women ' s Sports Other classes have made creditable rec- ords, but our participation in the recrea- tional activities was outstanding. The award system of the Women’s Athletic Association was initiated when we entered as Freshmen. With this new incentive every girl found time to engage in and enjoy the sports that were offered. Field Hockey was one of the more pop- ular games, but in our freshman year all of us watched the varsity players from the sidelines. The next fall our class team was very successful. Sis Jones, Mernie Blaine, Dottie Hanna, Bea Browning, and Gail Graham had a fast system of getting the ball into the goal. Marion Cottrell was one of our best players. Adele Gold- berg, Clarie Callahan, Shirlie Lalime, and Mary Ann Hartikka helped Ethel O’Con- nor prevent the opponents from scoring. In between hockey games, speedball was played. This combination of football and basketball was our most vigorous exercise. It was a task in itself to stay out of the way of kicking feet and flinging arms. The speedball forward line employed the same effective tactics as they did in hockey. All Sophomores were required to take this sport, so it was really a class activity. Basketball appeared in every form — inter-house, inter-class and varsity. For three seasons we played for the house we lived in — Delta Zeta came out on top ev- ery time. Our class team managed to end in sec- ond place but we could never improve that record. Bea Browning, Dottie Hanna, Mickey Fogel, and Arlene Hornby played forward positions, while Mernie Blaine, Marion Cottrell, Adele Goldberg, Jean Heseltine, Sis Jones, Jane Winter, and Ethel O’Connor held the defense. Marion Cottrell and Bea Browning played on the varsity team which won against Pem- broke, Posse and the WAVES from Quon- set. Our varsity members accompanied the team when they played New York University. This game was played in 1943. This past season we had a chance to par- ticipate in a Play Day with R. I. C. E., Bryant, and Pembroke. Miss Eleanor Jor- dan and Miss Lillian Nardone introduced this on our campus. We are proud to say that we won this Round Robin Tourna- ment. Dancing was enthusiastically received by the class. Modern dance demonstra- tions were given twice. Mernie Blaine, Bea Browning, Mary Gariepy, Jean Heseltine, Arlene Hornby, Elaine McDonald, Ethel O’Connor, and Nancy Thornley appeared in original compositions. Disregarding the leotards, Claire Callahan, Gail Graham, Jean Heseltine, Arlene Hornby, and Nancy Thornley spent hours learning tap rou- tines. None of us will ever forget that recital. Volleyball was so much in demand that tw T o tournaments occurred in one season. Houses as well as classes found keen com- petition. Sigma Kappa won with Anna Bills and Jane Winter performing with winning techniques, but Mernie Blaine’s serve was impossible to halt and Jean Heseltine, Phyl Stedman, and Adele Gold- berg were outstanding for their houses. Badminton tournaments utilized many winter days. Nancy Thornley was the campus champion and is a member of our class. Mic key Fogel, Adele Goldberg, Har- riet Hall, and Elaine McDonald entered the tournaments. In tennis Nancy Thornley maintained her position at the top of the list. Tennis was popular with all of us. Mernie Blaine, Bea Browning, Gail Graham, Mickey Fo- gel, Jean Heseltine,. and Ethel O’Conn, t entered the •tournaments. Bea Browning, Adele Goldberg, and Shirlie Lalime elected to take the course in tumbling. The rifle squad has had dif- ficulties in organization but May Gronnc- berg didn’t need much practice to display

The GRISTETTE a superior score sheet. She has found the “eye” many times and to our envy. In softball how could we forget Dottie Hanna running around all the bases after slugging the ball a mile out in left field! Mernie Blaine and Mary Farrell supported her, leading Chi Omega to victory in every tournament. Mickey Fogel, Adele Gold- berg, May Gronneberg, Mary Ann Har- tikka, Shirlie Lalime, Ethel O’Connor and Jane Winter provided opposition for the Chi 0 powerhouse. In archery, a number of our class ex- celled, as proved by the good showing in the National Contest which the girls en- tered. Mickey Fogel, Mary Gariepy, Adele Goldberg and Ethel O’Connor were the su- perior students with Anna Bills hitting the bull’s eye most frequently. Swimming classes were crowded when warm weather came. We swam in meets and in aquacades. In 1943 our swimming team won second place with Mernie Blaine, Bea Browning, Adele Goldberg, Gail Gra- ham, Mary Ann Hartikka, Jean Heseltine, Elaine McDonald, and Nancy Thornlev winning points for speed and form. In 1944 a perfect performance in for- mation swimming was our goal. Mrs. Beach and Miss Gardner worked tirelessly in this last season with us. Our class team won the meet by capturing first place in every race. The Aquacade was climaxed by a flag formation. Jane Winter and Bea Browning had the distinction of be- ing the only lifeguards in our class and they assisted with the instructions. During our college years it was an en- couragement to receive a WAA award. The following girls received a shield : Anna Bills, Mernie Blaine, Bea Browning, Mar- ion Cottrell, Mickey Fogel, Adele Gold- berg, Gail Graham, Dottie Hanna, Mary Ann Hartikka, Jean Heseltine, Shirlie La- lime, Ethel O’Conpor, Nancy Thornley, and Jane Winter. The key was the next award which Bea Browning, Marion Cottrell, and Mickey Fogel won. In our senior year an award Tea was held at the Union in honor of girls receiving an award. Bea Browning was presented a blazer, the final award.
