Dancing and G. A. fix. Keep Girls Hopping and Skipping This year has been a full one for the girls gym classes. In ea1'ly spring and fall, tennis balls were kept bouncing as the girls turned out for the annual tournaments while basketball and volley balls furnished most of the mid-winter sports. Some of the more ambitious girls try out for G. A. A. or the Girls Athletic Association. However, the eight weeks of fol- lowing strict health rules that a G. A. A. prospect must endure seriously cuts down the number ot applicants. Those who follow the rules have no easy time. If you see a girl walk slowly past her favorite soda fountain with a longing look in her eyes, you may safely bet that she is a G. A. A. If you notice a girl glance at her wrist watch nervously about a quarter of ten, you should remember that G. A. A. rules demand that she be in bed by ten. Don't ever think, however, that these girls aren't proud of their letters when they earn them. The state Girls Athletic As- sociation has set standards that girls are proud to be able to meet. Although Arkansas City high school girls do not participate in inter-scholastic sports, the intra-mural volley ball teams fight for victory with much the same enthusiarxm one might expect at a Winfield-Arkansas City basketball game. The tournament this years was made possible largely through the efforts of Mar- garet Lowery, student manager. Dorothy White refereed at most of the games. Marjorie Stotfel captained the winning team on which were Marion Stoffel, Mary Alice Ryan, Laverne Frank- lin, Ruby Beebe, Wanda Christy, Francis Fields, and Zellene Blair. Color, motion and gaity come from dancing! The graceful abandon of the nymphs, the colorful exuberance of the Spanish dancers and the ethereal lovllness of the dancing lVlorning Glories were not just a background for the opera. Through their art the dancers swayed the moods of the audience attend- ing the operetta Oh, Doetorn just as did the singing. The dancers, nearly fifty in all, having been coached only four or five weeks, did not dance perfectly. Yet in the few mom- ents that they were on the stage they created lovlinss, which is, after all, the aim of every artist Jacqueline Burnett, as Hebe, the goddess of the nymphs of dew was the only solo dancer. Besides the ballet number which she danced with the nymphs of dew, there were raindrops, con- spirators, morning glories, and Spainish dancers, all coached by Miss Edith J. Davis. Before the opera much amusement was caused by announce- ments of dance practices. Such statements as Raindrops meet fifth hour today. and Conspirators meet in the auditorium, were a source of continual wonder to the uninitiated. During the second semester Miss Davis formed a new and popular class for those interested in dancing, called the rythmn class. In this group, girls are learning the fundamentals of danc- ing technique as well as building the muscles necessary for dancing. PAGE 10 ,Iiif- 'i1 i7EI'.'l' Colleixc Prep.
