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.

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

ElIC W O M E N SPORTS H CARR MISS SMITH HOMER TOLER CLARK CAIRNES BOWLES HIRSCHFELDER McCANDLESS FITCH ROSE SYMONDS VOLLEY BALL Volley ball was the first sport to be taken up at the beginning of the fall semester With diligent practice under the supervision of Miss Smith, the girls became quite proficient at the game Many new players were developed and some of the girls who had never before played the game became almost expert at the side-arm serve. Before forming the teams, instructions in form and the rules pertaining to the game were given in the physical education classes. Then a call was issued for all girls wishing to try out for class teams. The response was promising, about fifty turning out. Three teams were organized, one for the eleventh year pupils, one for the twelves and one for the Junior College students. The eleventh year team won the volley ball championship, and its members were privileged to be the first to wear the much coveted Pirate Heads These Pirate Heads are made of felt in the school colors of orange and black. Be- sides getting their letters, the girls of the win- ning teams are entitled to the Pirate Heads. Since several of the best players will be back again, Ventura ' s volley ball team can be ex- pected to break records next year. ' S . 7 ' A.z:i.A A- A.- A A.Z A.Z A. F- - - --- - — ' -- ' - ' ' 116
