GQAQAO The second week of September found the girls' intramural program under way. This athletic board has been confronted with many problems regarding points to be given for different sports. They considered all problems carefully and gave the full measure of credit where it was due. Volleyball was the first headliner in sports with forty-three participants ready to go to meet their foes. Bitter battles raged with five teams competing and fighting until the finish with such spectacular technique that there was a play-off at the end with Lila MacLeod's team capturing the crown. The girls started out with hockey, later changed to speed- ball, a combination of soccer and basketball, because it proved to be the more popular of the two. After some fine competi- tion, Beatrice Schmidt's team were declared the victors. The long-awaited season of basketball arrived with five teams also in competition and forty-one girls eager to get into tip-top shape to display their ability in future games. Proposed plans are to have two playdays-one with Ossining and the other with Elmsford. This will aliord us opportunities to display our excellent teamwork and cooperation. Besides competing with other schools in this vicinity, we are to have interclass meets which will, no doubt, prove exciting. The main thing accomplished this year, in addition to keep- ing the G.A.A. cards straight and settling various problems, was the establishment of a Girls' Association Constitution by Miss Roll with the assistance of the G.A.A. Board. We hope all the girl athletes will observe the rules laid down in the Constitution as well as in the individual sports in order to be better players and leaders.

At the election meeting held last June the Sports Club welcomed Ruth Virden, Claire Speicher, Louise Behlen and Beatrice Schmidt as new members. Good sportmanship, 'interest and participation in sports are the basis on which these girls were admitted. The members are given the special privilege of officiat- ing at games and of assisting Miss Roll in her classes. Thus the qualities of leadership are stressed and re- warded by advancement in the high school Victory Corps. During the year the girls attended the Rodeo in Madi- son Square Garden. Horseback riding was an added attraction. Additional events are planned with the ad- vent of warm weather. El Circulo Espanol In order to make Spanish more interesting we organ- ized El Circulo Espanol at our first meeting on November 19, 1943: At that meeting we planned several prdjects, most of which have been carried out at subsequent meet- ings. We have played games, sung songs and put on skits all in Spanish. At Christmas time we enjoyed a Christmas party. We all hope to learn many interesting facts about Spain and our South American neighbors during club meetings. Adios . Dorothy Muller
