Hike to the Stone Quarry On September 29, the underclassmen with Sister Mary Robert as chaperone, hiked to the stone quarry where the Freshies had their first experience in ex- ploring caves. Fatigued from this their first long hike they fairly tumbled into their beds which never before looked so inviting.

A. I. C. ACTIVITIES Second Hike of the Semester Although they declared they never wanted to take another long hike, the Freshies were eager to accom- pany the other classes when a hike was planned to the highway, a distance of about three miles. After stopping for refreshments, the group was picked up by the Convent truck and taken for a truck ride through the country. No doubt, the Freshies have changed their ideas about hiking by this time. Seniors Win Tournament To the strains of a pep song, the Seniors went parading around the house announcing their victory in the volley ball tournament. The last game of the tournament was played against the Junior team, making the Juniors second and the Seniors ascharnpsjv There were six teams participating in the tourna- ment, namely Freshman A, Freshman B, Junior, Sophomore, Town Girl, and the Senior teams. Each team played the other team two games out of three to determine the winner. By the process of elimina- tion all teams were eliminated by the Juniors and Seniors. The Juniors had already been defeated by the Seniors, so this game would tell the tale of victory for the Seniors or another chance for the Juniors. The teams were evenly matched and con- sequently a very exciting game was witnessed by the students. After a hard iight the Seniors won out by a score of 35-15. Throughout the tournament the Seniors had not been defeated, so they now hold a record that has not often been attained in the A. I. C. before. All teams were to be congratulated on their excellent sportmanship throughout the tournament. Ladder Tournament Once again the gym was a scene of action. Some interesting games of volley ball were played during the time of this tournament. Sister Mary Robert, we challenge the Juniors. Sister, please when do we play the Town Girls? Sister are we going to play tonight? These are just a few of the questions our gym teacher had to answer many times during the day. The winner of this tournament is the team that accomplishes the difficult feat of remaining at the top of the ladder for five successive games. Again the Seniors were the victors. Second Ladder Tournament In order to give the underclassmen a chance to win, another ladder tournament was scheduled for the week before the Easter holidays. As the teams now were more evenly matched the games were intensely interesting and each game a hard ight. However, after a week of hard work the Juniors won this tournament. Baseball At last the anxiously awaited baseball season has arrived. At any time after 3:15 in the afternoon and between 6:00 and 7:00 in the evening enthu- siastic cheering could be heard on the courts where some of the teams were battling for victory. From the beginning of the tourney it seemed as though either the Freshies or the Juniors would be the victors, and so it finally came about that the Freshies and Juniors were left to battle out the ilnal score. And a battle it was to the end which brought victory to the Juniors. Track In the track meet various events took place-the running and standing broad jumps, the running and standing high jumps, the distance throw, and balanc- ing. Although many girls took part in these events, Mary Louise Pirnat, was the winner having earned 350 points. Tennis Although the girls had been practicing tennis throughout the spring, and many good players were developed, the tournament which took place toward the end of May was won by Marian Forster and Wilma Davis in the doubles, and by Mary Louise Pir- nat in the singles.
