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

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.

q: WOM E N ' S SPORTS CARNE WILLETT COLLA FICKEN SEXTON CARROTHERS HAIG REAMS KEELER POSPICIL HOCKEY Hockey was one of the new sports introduced to Ventura this year. Needless to say it was very enthusiastically received. In all probability the new equipment was a factor in making this sport so popular. New shin guards with a special type of shin guard for the goal keepers and both light and medium hockey sticks immediately found favor. Some of the girls seemed to be- come attached to their own particular sticks, as was Peggy Homer and her favorite Oscar . The rules and technique of the game were practiced during the regular physical education classes and some exciting games were played in these class periods as a part of the course. There was a pretty good turn-out for after school teams, but because of the interference of operetta practice, the after school teams suf- fered considerably. Consequently, instead of having the usual three inter-class teams, only two teams were organized. These were known as the Dps and Downs. The Ups won two of the three games played, the scores being 2-1, 3-2, 1-0. The hockey season closed all too soon, but with the hope that next year more time can be devoted to this sport. ■ ■■ 7j;rz 2r 117
