TENNIS The tennis teams were exteremely handicapped by not having any tennis courts on the Junior College campus, thus no class instruction could be handled. The girls interested in tennis prac- ticed at the Junior High School courts every Tuesday afternoon, under the direction of Mrs Wentworth. No regular school tournament was held this year, A ladder tournament took its place, Jean Poulsen won the tournament, her name being at the top of the ladder when the tournament ended Ventura entered nearly all the play days. The girls played both singles and doubles matches at Santa Monica, Glendale, Carpinteria, and Pasa- dena, and they acquitted themselves very well. .,2 ' : 2r 114

Oi WOMEN ' S S P O R T S TOP ROW: MISS SMITH. MISS THOMAS. MISS KOLLM ANSPERGER. MISS HARRIS. MRS. WENTWORTH. MRS. LAMB; CARROTHERS, ADAMS. WOMEN ' S GOLF A girls ' golf club was formed in the Physical Education department last fall. Sixteen girls with instructors decided to brave the perils of the golf course, their Pro. being Les Wilcox of the Municipal Golf Links at Montalvo. The group started out with overwhelming confidence, especially the teachers, but instructors and stu- dents soon became pupils, when the clubs were grasped. Practice followed, club in the hands, club in the air, a swing — and look at the hole in the ground. Where the grass went they never knew. Another try. Head down, left arm straight, right arm relaxed, change of weight, club in the air, follow through — a complete mess resulting. Confidence now! ' About as much as a thimble full. The hour was soon up and the first lesson was over. Such was the procedure of the pioneers. But all things come to him who waits. With practice and patience, much toil and labor, balls were . finally gotten into the air. The mid-iron and the niblick saw much use. No birdies but many slices, and nary a hole in one . The Golf Club is looking forward to a larger number of members next year. If enthusiasm carries on, the aspirants are sure of better suc- cess. Maybe they can rival the golf team of the hardier sex some time, which was first organ- ized, too, this year. Who knows? In order to succeed one has to start sooner or later. All honor to him who tries! : iX3 2 z7.iS?!; 2 ' s.TJB 113

EIDo M EN ' S SPORTS CARNE MISS SMITH FICKEN CARROTHERS HAIG MISIKOFSKI SALES REAMS WILLETT GIRLS ' BASKETBALL The second sport to be taken up during the year in girls ' athletics was basketball. Practicing and training began toward the first of October Basketball has been popular with the girls since the time it was first deemed fitting and proper for young women to engage in athletic pursuits This year was no exception. There was a big turn-out of about fifty, and from these fifty ths best players were chosen for the usual class teams Some rather startling discoveries were made when earnest playing began. Several of the newer players proved to be the most re ' iab ' e, Peggy Homer was one of the guards There were also some outstanding players among the twelves. On the Junior College team Mildren Bovee ranked above the majority and Louise Reams was perhaps the best basketball player the Junior College has ever had. In the inter-class games, the Junior College team emerged the victor. Three games were played and the scores were as follows: January 7, J, C, 14, Twelves 13. January 12, J. C. 22, Elevens 16. January 14, Elevens 17, Twelves 15. So a very successful basketball season came to a close. As several of this year ' s players are planning on being here again next fall, there is every indication that the coming season wili even surpass the one |ust past.
