They were a great help to the first team, doing their best in scrimmage, and always putting up a good fight, when playing another team. Their efforts will not be wasted, for next year many of them will find the vacant places left on the first team. Umm E. Council, L. G. E. Leary, L. F. R. Averill, R. G., C. F. Feldott, L. F. R.

1916 BEE AITCH ESS 1916 Girlz' Athlviirz HE Girls' Athletics in Batavia High School have taken a new and definite turn in comparison with former years. A new state law is enforced which states that every school girl in the state of Illi- nois. must be required to take one hour of gymnasium work each week. This change in arrangement of the course is quite notice- able, when we consider the previous arrangement of gymnasium classes. Now four classes are completely organized. These classes are regulated as other classes and credit is given for the work done. Miss Mored, the in- structor, has been obtained, who takes care of the Girls' Athletics only. The value derived from this work can hardly be estimated. With some girls, it is the only real exercise they have during the entire week. The corrective exercises produce finer and better physiques, while taking it all as a whole, it furnishes the best chance possible, by which girls can become interested in athletics. The time in these classes is spent chiefly in gymnastic exercises and military tactics, with the variation of basket ball has been especially em- phasized this year. The girls had a basket ball tournament, but as the teams were not fully organized it is hard to say which class deserves the most credit. Spirit ran high during this tournament. The exhibit in the latter part of the spring serves as the grand finale in this class, and it also gives the girls a chance to show what they have accomplished during the year. This exhibit also serves to furnish an in- centive for practice, as all the work aims towards this end. The exhibit this year exceeds the previous one 5 including the following: Grand March, Ex- tension Drill, Military Tactics, Couple Steps, and Basket ball.
