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

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

POSPICIL GIRLS ' BASEBALL The baseball season this year was even better than it was last year. Over forty girls appeared on the field the first day, which was really an exceptionally good turn-out. Perhaps one reason everyone was so much more enthusiastic about the national sport this year was because of the new small baseball. The new ten -inch balls seem to be easier for the girls to handle. Many girls showed their abilities on the field. Of course it took practice and lots of it, Loretta Connick, of the twelfth grade team, became the outstanding catcher, Phyllis MacFadden, of the J C, team was noted for her fast balls, and Georgia Cummings, also a J, C,, for the curves she could pitch. The season was climaxed by the spectacular victory of the Ventura team over the Pomona team at the playday. May 14, at Pasadena, The game had been evenly contested, and tied at 9-9, when the umpire called two strikes and three balls against the batter With two girls on bases, Ventura collected three hits to score four runs, ending the game 13-9!
