) THLETICS . HE season of 1904-5 opened with a call for foot- ball candidates and about thirty of the students responded. After several weeks’ coaching under Messrs. Carter, Murray and Green a team of 16 was picked. One game was played with Howard Uni- versity and one with a team from Georgetown. While Armstrong did not win either gamé, yet the enthusiasm and spirit were sufficient to wariant the belief that foot-ball will be a permanent feature of our athletics. At the annual election of officers the following were elected: Mr. W. B. Hartgrove, President ; Leo Cook. Vice-President ; Sumner Chisolm, Secretary ; Henry Hardy, Sergeant-at-Arms ; Mr. Carter, Man- ager. During the spring the boys responded readily for the base ball team. A generous contribution by the teachers, together with $20 which a concert netted, tended to place the Association upon a substantial financial basis. Four games were played—two with Howard University and two with the Stonewall Athletic Club. The girls organized the Olympian Athletic As- Sociation in November, 1903, with a membership of seven, under the presidency of Miss Lola Lei Brant. From the proceeds of their first entertainment a bas- ket ball and two baskets were purchased ; a sum was donated to the Social Settlement, 118 M St. S. W., and the remainder placed in the treasury. Upon th e reorganization of the Association we found that the membership had increased to twenty- seven, With the assistance of Misses Turner and Lee we were able to spend many pleasant hours playing basket ball and other games at True Re- formers’ Hall. We are glad to say that we have accomplished much of the good work which we started, and our re- gret is that we caunot leave more members to carry on the successful work of the Olympian Athletic As- ociation, w Some of Armstrong’s Graduates and What They are Doing. w Ambler, Mary, Priuter’s Assistant, Bureau of Engraving.
