Iay Palmer deserves a vote of thanks for his splendid efforts. Much enthusiasm was created by our boxing tournament. Fans filled the gym to enjoy this sport. The year has been a busy one and the boys enjoyed their varied program with Coach Myers. ' This was the third year that Doc Miller has been elected captain of the tumbling squad, an honor well de- served by him. The team put on several splendid programs of pyramid building and tumbling.

To start the year right a group of girls went out to Maroon Field to play hockey. Although no formal games were played, they had a great deal of fun. Volleyball was enjoyed by all. Hazel Lind and Ethel Davis captained some snappy games. Basketball was a great sport which was greeted with much enthusiasm. The able captains, Colette Beal, Ger- aldine Voltz, and Betty Brown, had teams which were always ready to try their skill at winning. . The girls and their captain, Hazel Lind, organized a tumbling team which showed cleverness and talent. Baseball and horseshoe tournaments proved to be very exciting and- interesting for everybody. One of the most popular events of the year was a course of six ballroom dancing classes which were attended by one hundred students. They were sponsored by the Girls' Athletic Department which is under the direction of Miss Geister. l20l
