GIRLS’ PHYSICAL EDUCATION The gym class meets every Tuesday and Thursday at 3:15 with Miss O’Neil in charge. The first ten or fifteen minutes of the period are devoted to calisthenics. After this formal period, captains for volley ball or basketball are appointed, and these choose up sides. In- door baseball is also sometimes played. Basketball seems to be the favorite game during cold weather. During the warm weather, the girls may be seen on the athletic field jumping the hurdles or playing indoor baseball. Gym is not required for girls, but it affords a good and whole- some exercise that is so valuable and much needed for most girls. Extra curricular credit is given for this work. Girls in the class this year are Irene Poledna, Hazel Ellis, Della Prawitz, Venetha Wendt, Ruth Baumann, Clara Hensel, Evelyn Benne, Nellie Miller, Verna Stewart, Eunice Woerman, Orva Zeplin, Melva Risse, Eunice Englehart, Margaret Graunke, Lucille Groene, Cora Frankfurt, Delores Goranson, Martha Somer, Violet Pahl, Helen Grosse, Beulah Goranson, Elsie Reher, Esther Kollmorgan, Opal Luedtke, Margaret Karl, Alma Jensen, Irene Graunke, Winona Miserez.

The Girl’s pep Club was reorganized at the beginning of the school year for the purpose of promoting friendly relations among other schools with which West Point High School has connections, and to keep up the school spirit and enthu- siasm toward all athletics. Any girl in high school who was interested in this sort of work was eligible for membership. At every home game in basketball or football, the girls wore red and white costumes, representing the school colors. At these games they all got together and cheered. At the West Point-Wakefield football game, some of the girls got an old horse and tied it on to the back of an old “Lizzie.” A blanket on the horse read, “Wakefield.” All the girls rode in the car and paraded through main street and down to the football field. Between halves of the game the girls rode around the field giving yells and songs. After the basketball game between West Point and the Wayne Normal Reserves the girls entertained both teams up in the Home Ec. rooms. They served a lunch, had speeches by the coaches and captains of the two teams, cheered and sang high school songs. The night of the West Point-Creighton Prep, basketball game the girls were all present dressed in red and white, and between halves presented a stunt on the stage. This organization, together with the W. P. Club sponsored a high school carnival. The funds of this carnival were contributed toward the athletic fund. ..............Catherine Moodie ...............Janet Wurzbacher ...............Wanda Kontz Eda Doeseher, Alice Baumann
