What makes Phys Ed run? Bessie and Miss Wayman. Fall Sports A vital part of every program is Phys Ed, which keeps students energetically active two or three hours a week. First comes the fall sea ' son — which works out the kinks from the sum- mer vacations. Perhaps it ' s the instructors ' vitality and enthusiasm which keeps the girls moving, or maybe it ' s just the invigorating effect of the fall air. Possibly it ' s an interest in the game — a determination to set a precedent and make a bullseye in archery, or to stay on the horse ' s back no matter how much it may hurt the next day.

They love it.

A. A. This year the Athletic Association introduced several welcome innovations. They originated the Friday afternoon athletic programs, to which twenty-five Columbia boys and twenty-five Barnard girls are invited. They started a bulletin. And, as in the past, they sponsored Harvest Hop. Decorations were in a fall mood — leaves and autumn colors — with an authentic looking wishing well in the center of the floor for aspiring dreamers. 23
