FIELD HOCKEY The fourth year of Field Hockey in the high school came to a close the first of December. There were many more candidates out this year than previously; a fact which indi- cates the popularity of the sport. On account of the short season and the weather conditions, the team was unable to play any outside games. The class games were played, how- ever, with the Juniors winning the championship. The captains of the four teams were as follows: Freshman Arlene Boudreau Sophomore Gertrude Vandenburg Junior Cat herine Nichols Senior Doris Chick A change in numerals was made, reducing the size to two inches instead of the customary three-inch numeral. We all appreciate the interest Miss Bent showed in coach- ing the games, and in keeping the teams organized. Doris Chick, ' 30, Captain.
