Miss Tuller: What are you playing, Bea? Bea Parker: Why, Miss Tuller, have you studied music in Europe and all over and don't know 'Holy, Holy, Holy'? IN JUDAISM CLASS Miss Carman: Now, 1et's consider the dating, but I Want to tell you first, please don't take it seriously. QWe've been wondering ever since what kind of dating she referred to. Do you suppose it had anything to do with Jonah's experience in the fish's society ?j IN RELIGIOUS EDUCATION Kathryn Beadle: Now, these organizations are all responsible to this cab- inet, and if anyone wants a date he has to go to the cabinet to get it. We're wondering if good spelling isn't a necessary attribute for a missionary to have? Let's ask Anna Mize how to spell Borshock, and Bessie Gillies how to spell Egypain Art. And Virginia Cox has a very close relationship with Harold Antipath. But who knows how to spell Israelights ? 42

'ii ATHLETICS 'Because we realize that we must have a high standard of health, physical efliciency, recreational sociability and true sportsmanship, athletics come to the front in B. M. T. S. life and new sports are being enjoyed by our students. This year archery was added, and say, have you seen Mae Hunter hit the bul1's eye? She should be able to, having been up many times before breakfast to practice. As always, captain ball is our outstanding sport. And what fun it is! Al- though the poor Freshmen didn't know what it was all about at first, they soon learned and have given the Juniors and Seniors strong opposition through- out the year. Many interesting games were played: one between the Faculty and Seniors at which Miss Utecht played the part of the peanut vender, and one between the Cilee and Gleeful Clubs. The latter game ended in a scoreless tie, much to the relief of the doubting Gleeful Club. Croquet has been a popular sport, when the weather permitted, with Miss Simpson, Mrs. Heath and Miss Spencer defeating all comers. Some of our girls have indulged in the invigorating exercise which hiking affords, but perhaps one of Chicago's greatest rackets is that formed by the tennis players in the sunny court. In the morning, five minutes before breakfast, we have had setting-up exer- cises, Miss Brimson and Miss Noyes being our instructors. And in the Spring it was almost impossible to quell the ardor of a certain band of early rising, rope-jumping enthusiasts. In trying to maintain a high standard of health, physical efficiency, recrea- tional sociability, and true sportsmanship we are broadening our Christian life. 4l
