The Gris ' Atliletic Club was org.inized .it the first of the ye.ir. Activities included baseball, volley- hall and hiking. The club was inactive the second semester, but the new physical fitness program kept the girls in the pink of condition. This year a new course was set up in the high school requiring junior and senior girls to take phy- sical education five days a week. The course was part of a national program for physical fitness re- quired by the government and was in addition to the regular three semester requirement. The first day most of the class felt they were mixed in with a pre-flight school but it turned out to be just Miss Risk ' s junior commando unit. It got to be quite a common sight for girls to be seen limping very painfully to class, not to mention bruises and an occasional sling or splint. In fact Marilyn Payne reported that she couldn ' t negotiate the stairs because of trembling knees after a hard day tumbling. The first six Aveeks were devoted to basketball, tumbling, calisthenics, and the obstacle course. The obstacle course was a very tricky little thing. The first day, ye editor noticed Phiddy Creel lying by the side of the course, panting and calling for water. The second six weeks were devoted to recreational games such as badminton, table tennis, some South American games and of course, the obstacle course. The third six weeks were given over to track and baseball. After eighteen weeks of training, the senior members of our junior commando unit known as Riskie ' s Little Friskies, left the old school, ready to face the world with bulging biceps and the knowledge that at last they were physically fit.

The battery for Angola was French and Brown; for Orland it was Straw and Rowe. In the last game the Hornets traveled to Metz to take on a very powerful team and came out on top by the score of 6-1. There was some very fine defensive playing and Smurr displayed a lot of power at the plate by collecting 2 for 3. The battery for Angola was French and Brown; for Metz it was Rocky and Elliott. The Hornets entered the County Tournament along with three other teams, Fremont, Hamilton, and Salem Center. The Hornets were rated third in the county standings, having six wins and two losses. In the first game Fremont played Salem Center and won a very close game 2-1. In the second game between Angola and Hamilton, Angola won by the score of 3-1. With only one hour from the end of the former game, the Hornets came to bat against a tough Fremont team. Each team scored two runs in the first inning. The ball park was completely covered with mud which made it difficult to play for both teams. Brown counted for all the Hornets ' runs by scoring Zimmer twice and scoring once himself. The game ended 13-3 in Fremont ' s favor. The battery for Fremont was Mingus and Etheridge and for Angola French, Dygert, McBride, and Brown. standing: .Jack Well. ' , Mgr., Art Hanna Bob Dygert.
