The 4 chapter for Beta Gamma Chapt er of Phi Theta Kappa, the National Junior College Honorary Fraternity has been recently granted, and seventeen students have been elected to membership. Of this number seven are sophomores: Aaron Barkman, William Groening, David Kahn, Ruth LeRoux, Joan Mallett, Henry Van Welde,and Ralph Waehner, and ten are freshmen; Paul Belknap, Frederick Bossman, George Butterfield, James Finkbeiner, Ruth Forbes, Jerome Gase, Lillian Greenstein, Mary Richards, Helen Weston, and David Witheridge. The formal initiation of the members will take place on Thursday, June 16, at Trinity Parish House, preceding the annual Junior College dinner dance. In electing the students to membership the faculty has taken into consideration the scholastic attainments of the candidates, as well as various personal characteristics which are deemed desirable in the best type of member. Phi Theta Kappa members, like all other members of honorary fraternities, will wear keys to denote their affiliation with the society. The old Junior Col- lege award system, by which students who had excelled in scholarship and activities received pins and special recognition at the annual dinner dance, has been abolished. Election to Phi Theta Kappa will henceforth take its place. The need for an honorary society in Junior College has been felt for some time, but the present financial depression had previously caused the faculty to be somewhat hesitant about initiating such an organization, due to the expense involved.

The Student Council INANCIAL and social problems came to the fore this year more than usual in the work of the Council. Because of the closing of the local banks and the consequent tie-up of Junior College funds, frequent revision of the budget was necessary, and some of the activities were curtailed for lack of sufficient funds. The Women’s League Student Loan Fund was, however, given first consideration. Athletics, Crucible, assemblies, awards, con- ferences, debating, Tetra Sci Club, social activities, Engineers Club, Law Club, Glider Club, J.C. Y. and the Chorus, all received some of the appropriation from the Student Activity Fund. The play, “Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch,” and the dances on October 16, Janu- ary 22, and March 18, were successful financially, as well as socially. At the beginning of 1932, the Council approved the plans to increase the size of the Crucible, changing it from a three column to a four column paper. Several innovations were made by the Council this year in the regulation of the J. C. Parties and in its relations with the social committee. The problems of restricting the admission of outsiders to J. C. parties and of securing chaperones have been happily solved, the one by the use of a rigid permit system, the other by the united efforts of the student body, the Social Committee, and the Council. Better cooperation between the various committees and the Council was obtained by the ruling that all decisions of that body be communicated in writing. The weekly assemblies were varied and well-planned, those featuring the J. C. Chorus, the illustrated lecture on Alaska by Rev. Thornton B. Penfield, the lecture on “‘Personality,’’ by Professor McCluskey of the University of Michigan, on ‘Prohibition,’ by Ira Land- rith, on ‘Peace and Disarmament” by T. Q. Harrison, and on “Wise Investments,’ by Reverend C. E. Doty of Saginaw.

The 193]-32 year witnessed the publication of fifteen bi-weekly issues and this Graduation Edition. The paper was three-columned during the fall months, but permission to add a fourth column was obtained from the Student Council in December, and the larger Crucible made its first appearance on January |2. Since the appearance of the four-column paper, the student body has taken a much greater interest in the Crucible than has ever before been mani- fested. The staff has really felt that its efforts have been appreciated this year. William Groening, who was editor during the second semester of 1930-31 returned to take charge in September. He has been the guiding light in all of the current year’s improvements. Graduating this June after three semesters at the head of the staff, Groen- ing enjoys the distinction of having had the longest tenure of office of any Crucible Editor. James Finkbeiner, a freshman who joined the staff in September, showed such remarkable promise that he was elected assistant-editor at the close of the first semester. During the second semester he executed his duties in a very capable fashion, and he will succeed Groening to the editorship next fall. The increasing interest in Junior College athletics led to the improvement of the sport page, which this year was under the direction of Francis Barnett, Joseph Biller, and Robert Wood. An especially popular feature of the sport page was “Bask etball Person- alities,’’ a series of cartoons of Coach Hood and his team. This series and several other cartoons appearing from time to time were drawn by Frank Williams, the Crucible’s talented cartoonist. Paul Belknap inaugurated a series of special interviews with representative business and professional men which met with popular approval. The most popular humor columns were ‘“‘Schnozzle,”” by Henry Hart, “The Nutcracker,’ by Stewart Brams, and “Junior College Day by Day,” by Jack Kavanagh. Richard Weadock and Jack Korn assisted with the headline-writing, proof-reading, and make-up work. Other staff members during the current year included David Kahn, Madelyn Race, lone Smith, Margaret Berka, Joseph MacPhail, Edith Davis, Helen Ossipove, Jane Fowler, Winifred Bamford, Robert Friers, Lorraine DeWaele, Ethel Vallender, Bessie Tepper, Richard Doty, Mary Richards, Robert Boyse, and Fred Tonks.

J. C. Chorus | Nes Junior College Chorus for this year has far surpassed any previous effort in this field by the students. There was such considerable interest manifested in choral pos- sibilities that the group was formed on a purely voluntary basis, which alone makes this year’s success the more outstanding. The work was undertaken in the latter part of October when the services of Russell Amhrein and Alice DeWaele as director and accompanist, respectively, were found avail- able. Those who made up the group were mostly experienced singers, having had much training in the high schools. For the first few meetings the men of the chorus were con- spicuous by their absence, but, when once members, they were among the most faithful to the very end of the year. It was necessary, Inasmuch as no provision had been made in the Student Activity Fund budget at the beginning of the semester, to borrow the first few songs from the high school music department, to whom the chorus feels indebted. The chorus during the year has made seven appearances before audiences. The first was on December |, when the group was introduced to the college at its assembly. The compliments were many and encouraging on this first appearance. The second appearance followed shortly afterward when the chorus sang between the acts of the Junior College play on December 4. With much pleasure the groups accepted the invitation to sing at the Wenona Hotel for the Exchange Club on December 13. On this occasion the chorus did remarkably well. The last appearance before the holidays was before some 400 members of the Central—J.C. P.T.A. at which time several Christmas carols were rendered. One of the chorus’s most outstanding success came early in February when, after many special rehearsals, the college chorus made up most of the chorus of 70 voices for the American Legion Minstrel Show. They did exceptionally well on each of the two nights the show was presented. The last appearance of this musical organization came on the last day of May when they presented an entire assembly program of songs for mixed voices, male voices, and quartet numbers, with instrumental numbers interspersed. This group filled an important mission during the college year and is to be commended on its fine work. [ 14] TD GE: eS Cwke WaGa lr Bai. ale Front Row, left to right—Paul Harvey, John C.

A new system was used by which no official decisions were offered, as a judgeless contest seemed to be in vogue with the present economic depression. The question for debate by the Junior College Conference this year was, “Resolved: That the nations should adopt a policy of free trade.”’ This topic was extremely popular and interesting as the question of tariff is highly important and is much discussed in the entire economic world. Beginning the season with but one veteran, William Groening, the team was con- siderably strengthened by the addition of several former high school debaters; Paul Belk- nap, Herbert Bean, and Paul Harvey of Central High School; Jack Korn, of Manton, and Gerald Johnson, of Harrisville. H. C. Klingbeil, of the Public Speaking department coached the team. In the first debate of the season, February 9, Herbert Bean and Paul Harvey, taking the negative side met Flint. The following week, February 25, another negative team consisting of Jack Korn and Gerald Johnson met Jackson. The next week, March 4, the affirmative team consisting of Paul Belknap and Fred Tonks traveled to Grand Rapids. On March 8, Bean and Harvey, again representing the negative, met Highland Park at Highland Park. On March 15, Muskegon motored to Bay City to meet the affirmative team, repre- sented by Paul Belknap and John Kavanagh. This contest was judged by local professional men who awarded a two to one decision to the affirmative. The debaters closed their season on Thursday, March 17, when the affirmative con- sisting of William Groening and Paul Belknap, met Port Huron in a no-decision contest. Four members of the team represented Bay City at the Michigan Intercollegiate Model League of Nations Assembly at the College of the City of Detroit. This assembly is conducted according to the same procedure as the League of Nations, each college representing one or more nations. Bay City’s delegation, consisting of Paul Belknap, William Groening, Paul Harvey, and Fred Tonks, represented Sweden. Four members of the team Bean, Korn, Groening, and Tonks graduate this June, leaving Harvey, Belknap, Johnson, and Kavanagh to form the nucleus of next year's team.

Junior College Play HE clever comedy, “Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch,’’ was enthusiastically received by an appreciative audience on December 4. This story of a woman left by her husband to bring up her large family brought both tears and laughter from those looking on. The weaving of the events of the Cabbage Patch around the Wiggs family caused complications, but they all led to bringing Mr. Wiggs back to his wife. Vivian Bailey, Esther Schweitzer, and Emeline Anderson very cleverly played the parts of the three mischievous daughters of Mrs. Wiggs—Europena, Austry, and Asia. Billy Wiggs (Jack Korn) and Chris Hazy (Don Oakes) kept a hilarious note through the whole play, as did the drunken Mr. Stubbins (Henry Hart) and the hysterical Miss Hazy (Caroline Marston). Mrs. Wiggs (Norma Curtis) showed her kindly and ruling spirit in running her unruly household, in managing other people’s affairs—promoting the marriage of Miss Hazy and Mr. Stubbins with the help of Hunkerdunkus Jones, agent (John Kavanagh) and the affair of Miss Lucy and Mr. Bob, and her protection of the runaway orphan, Lovey Mary (Madeline Race.) The German ladies were very clever claracter sketches by Alice DeWaele and Made- line Hadcock. Through the efforts of Mr. Klingbeil, director, and the large, talented cast, ‘‘Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch”’ was highly successful and well recerved. Members of the cast: Mrs Wiggs, Norma Curtis; Lovey Mary, Madeline Race; Miss Hazy, Caroline Mar- ston; Miss Lucy, Lorraine DeWaele; Mrs. Eichorn, Alice DeWaele; Mrs. Schultz, Made- line Hadcock; Asia, Vivian Bailey; Austry, Esther Schweitzer; Europena, Emeline Ander- son; Mr. Stubbins, Henry Hart; Mr. Wiggs, Phillip Patterson; Mr. Bob, Gerald Johnson; Billy Wiggs, Jack Korn; Chris Hazy, Don Oakes; H. Jones, John Kavanagh; Sheriff, Dave Miller; Tina Viney, Joan Mallet; Deacon, Joe MacPhail; Brother Splicer, Joe Biller; Mr. Schultz, Bill Fogg. The J. C. Dramatics Club was organized shortly after the production of the annual J.C. play, “Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch.’’ Norma Curtis, who with Miss Lola Bishop and Caroline Marston helped the club get underway with this year’s work, held the office of president for the first semester and was succeeded by Caroline Marston. [ 16 ] AS liek COI MUL Codes Slee Law Club HE J. C. Law Club, composed of all students in the pre-law curriculum is fast becoming one of the most active and powerful of the Junior College clubs. The main purposes of the club are to teach the members the rudiments of parliamentary law and to give the members some ideas of what the practice of law entails. The club this year, although getting off to a slow start, is now working nicely. So far this year, the members have had some lawyers speak to them, have had impromptu discussions on questions of current political interest and have won the intra-mural basketball contest.

Reba Langworthy URPOSE: The purpose of the Bay City Junior College Women’s League is the estab- ishment of friendship and understanding among women of the college through working together for a common, worthy cause. At the first meeting of the executive council the temporary chairman drew the names of the new girls thus assigning them to their respective groups. Because of the increased enrollment in Junior College, a new group, which is to be known as the Aurae was formed by the council. The Loan Fund, for which all the groups earned money during the year, has been well used. With over three hundred dollars at the beginning of the year, the books show that over two hundred dollars have been loaned to students. The individual groups sponsored many social activities in the form of parties, dances, and bridges. Early in October, the women faculty members entertained the girls at a tea. In April, the League as a unit sponsored the Gingham Ball which was a great success. The final social gathering of the year was the annual banquet, which was held at Trinity Parish House. Later in the evening, the girls and sponsors were entertained by local musical talent. During the second semester a clearing-house committee was formed, consisting of Miss Schroeder, Miss Anschutz, and Miss Hellmuth. To this committee all project chair- men must submit their plans for approval. The purpose of this group is to determine that all details, such as chaperones or ticket-takers are properly taken care of. Keen competition has been shown by the groups by participation in basketball, rifle, tennis, swimming, and baseball tournaments to secure points toward the Wilbur Pardon Bowen cup which is a trophy cup awarded to the group that places first in athletics. At the annual meeting, Maria Kirchman was elected president for the coming year, and Jane Nickless was chosen secretary. Elections of other officers will take place next semester as customary. [17] eho!) Caner: lyBuleE. J Cy, HE J.C.Y. has passed through a successful year in its program. This school-year has marked the first time that the regular weekly meetings have been held in the school. Formerly the meetings had been held at the Y.M.C.A. Judged by the larger attendance and interest, this step has proved a wise one. Bryce Adie has been president of the organization, for the year, and was ably assisted by Wesley Timm, Vice-president, and John Cramer, Secretary. The purpose of the club is to promote activities among the men of the college and to promote fellowship among them.The J.C.Y. is more or less a continuance of the high-school Hi-Y, working in co-opera- tion with the Y.M.C.A. However, the club has no affiliation with the Hi-Y. The sponsor of the club is Dean George Butterfield. Mr. J. S. Brown, Boy’s Work Secretary of the Y.M.C.A. had also acted as sponsor till his resignation at the Y.M.C.A. in the latter part of March, 1932. The “Second Annual Turtle Derby”? was sponsored by the club November 11, and counted as a real success by those present. Among the speaker at the regular meetings were Rev. Homer D. Mitchell, Rev. H. Kreulen, Rev. Orthner, H. R. Hadcock, of the Bay City Y.M.C.A., Rev. T. H. Kady, and Rev. Hunt, each of whom gave a very interesting and varied program. Also, Col. A. H. Gansser spoke on disarmament, a very timely subject, from the militaristic point of view. He was followed on the same subject, but from the civilian view, by Russell Amhrein. Mr. Clayton R. Garlock also spoke to the club on “Boy and Girl Relations.”’ The final event of the year was the Retreat, which was held at Sand Lake, May 28, 29, and 30. Tetra Scis HE Tetra Sci Club is composed of pre-medical, pre-dental, pre-pharmacy, and chemistry students. Organized in October, 1931, with Mr. G. L. Martin, head of the chemistry department as advisor, the following officers were elected: president, David Kahn; vice- president, Joseph MacPhail; secretary-treasurer, Frank Schultz. The purpose of the organization is to better acquaint the members with the different aspects and various possibilities of the fields they intend to enter. The bi-weekly Thursday programs have successfully carried out this policy. On December 3, 1931, the new club held its first program meeting with Mr. Louis B. Harrison, head of the Bay City Filtration Plant, speaking on ““Water Purification.’ A trip through the filtration plant followed on December | 7. Two films, ““Beyond the Microscope” and ‘‘Liquid Air,’ were shown on January 7. Speaking on ‘“The Art of Medicine,’ Dr. L. Fernald Foster addressed the club on January 21. An inspection of the Jones clinic was made on March 3. Many also took advantage of an aeroplane ride, which Dr. J. M. Jones offered to each member. Dr. W. G. Gamble conducted the group through Mercy Hospital on March 31. Members heard Dr. Sumby of Saginaw on April 7, and Luther Carpenter, a senior medical student, on April 14. The most recent trip was through the Consumers Gas Plant at Zilwaukee on April 28. Two more programs will probably complete the year’s schedule.

Basketball HE 1932 edition of the Junior College basketball team enjoyed one of the most suc- cessful seasons for some time. Winning five out of ten tilts and taking into considera- tion that four of the five defeats were by very small margins, the 1932 Junior College basketball squad justly claims itself to be one of the best ever had. Starting the 1932 season with a two-day road trip, the team returned to Jackson to suffer a smarting 29-14 defeat at the hands of the Prison city squad. The boys just didn’t seem to “‘click”’ in their initial tilt of the year, playing a very ragged game both in the defense and offense. The next evening, Flint was stopped by the Bay City squad by a score of 27-21 ina game marked by frequent fouling, three of the players being expelled from the game through the personal foul route. Both offensive and defensive play was greatly improved over the previous game. A week later, a fast-stepping team of lanky lads from Grand Rapids journeyed to Bay City to defeat us 27-21 in a most thrilling and exciting encounter. Grand Rapids led 13-11 at the half-time and managed to keep the lead through the second half to win by six tallies. On two successive Saturdays we conquered a mediocre team from Port Huron J.C. The score there was 36-28 and here it was 26-16. Next, Muskegon managed to eke out a 31-30 victory over our boys. Only a “long tom”’ from the middle of the court caged shortly before the gun sounded were we defeated. The next week-end a second two-day road trip was made to Grand Rapids and Mus- kegon. At the furniture City we were barely beaten by a close 30-26 count. At Muskegon, the following night we were defeated 34-31 in another close tilt. We met Flint again, and soundly trounced them 36-17. Coach Hood used two com- plete teams in running up this top-heavy score. Before Flint could tally once we had piled up eight counts. With this lead we coasted through the remainder of the game, Flint never endangering our comfortable margin. On March 5, the highly-touted Highland Park Panthers carrying with them an envious [19 | Sores .@ he Ure iB Lik record of five victories and not a single defeat in the Junior College Conference struck a snag in the Bay City determined forces by being handed a stinging 26-25 defeat. Bay City led 12-9 at the half, but the Panthers came back vigorously in the second half to take a nine point margin. Mainly, through the efforts of several substitutes, Walther in particular, who caged two field goals and one free throw in the last few minutes of the game, we were able to defeat the Panthers, this being Highland Park’s first defeat by another Junior College. Next year, Letchfield, Meisel, Thorson, and Walther will be gone. With Freidinger, Kreulen, and Wood of the regulars and Arndt, Barnett, Hartingh, Learman, Muir, and Oglestone of the “‘seconds’’ returning, Bay City should place a formidable team in the J.C. Conference in 1933. “Bob” Wood led individual scoring, with “Les” Freidinger a close second. Individual scoring and the seasons record follow: Individual Scorers Season’s Record Player B.

With inadequate preparation and training the team entered tne state meet at Flint on May 14. The only point came through the efforts of Birdsey Learman, who took fourth place in the pole-vault. Grand Rapids, with a very well-balanced team, copped first honors with 77 points; Muskegon placed second; Flint, third, and Highland Park, fourth. In this meet, several conference records were broken. Bay City’s team was composed of Andy Moore, doing the 100 and 220 yard dashes and broadjump; Francis Barnett, the 100 yard dash; O. J. LaFontaine, the 220 yard dash; George Butterfield and Blake Clark, the half-mile;' John Richardson, the quarter-mile and broad jump; Louis Herrig, quarter-mile; Ed McManmon, shot-put; Birdsey Learman, shot-put, high jump, and pole-vault; Al Jonas and Jack Ferris, 220 yard low hurdles; and Virgil Meisel, mile run. With the year’s experience, Junior College should develope some exceptional track teams in future years. [ 20 | whee. GR GAG) Bol : Front Row-—Herb Bean, Virgil Meisel, Francis Barnett. Back Row—Jack Ferris, Frank Tennant, Walter Hewitt, Bryce Adie, Phillip Patterson, Wesley Timm, Llewellyn Immerman, Emery Glancz. Swimming B CITY Junior College’s swimming team enjoyed another successful season. The tankers won two out of three dual meets and placed third at the State meet, repeating the record of last year’s squad. And this certainly is not a bad record taking into considera- tion the fact that the splashers practiced only twice a week. Almost an entirely new squad will perform for Coach Hood next season as the team loses all but Ferris, Tennant, Barnett, Bean, Hewitt, Patterson. Others bidding for places on this season’s team will probably fill the gaps left by the graduation of Meisel, Thorson, J. MacPhail, Fischer, and Adie. The swimmers and their events were as follows: Bryce Adie, 50 yards; Herb Bean, diving, breaststroke, relay; Jack Ferris, backstroke; Floyd Fischer, backstroke; Walt Hewitt, diving, relay; Joseph MacPhail, 100 yards, 220 yards; Virgil Meisel, breastroke; Phil Patterson, 100 yards, 220 yards, relay; Frank Tennant, backstroke; Howard Thor- son, 50 yards free, relay; Francis Barnett, 100 yards, 220 yards. In the first contest of the season ,the local team dropped a decision to Flint by a 42-21 score. However, the tankers came back to vindicate themselves, stopping Muskegon 36-27 -n the next meet. In a return dual meet with Flint, our swimmers amply gained revenge for their previous defeat with a brilliant victory of 40-26. At the state Junior College Swimming meet held at Michigan State College pool, Bay City took third place with 18 points being nosed out by Flint J.C. for second honors. High- land Park took first place with 30 points, followed by Flint with 19 , points. The swimmers who placed at the state meet are Patterson, Thorson, Bean, Ferris, and Meisel. Student interest in the swimming team this year took a decided turn for the better. All home meets were well-attended, and the team was well-supported. Particular interest was manifested in the state meet. With such backing by the student body, Bay City’s natators should go a long way in Junior College circles next year. Likewise considerably more interest has been shown in all J.C. teams than in former years. re leks puch Ueals mile. ront Row—Edward LaBerge, Elson Hood, coach; Daniel Sullivan.

Due to persistently bad weather, the divot diggers got a late start. Hank Hart’s ineligibility crippled the squad during the entire season. After swamping Flint on their own course by eight strokes in their first match, the Hoodmen lost the next one to Highland Park by a bare one point margin. In the third match Bay City dropped a return engagement to Flint by one stroke. The boys shot good golf here, but were unable to compete with the sub-eighty shooting of Flint’s star number one player. The team turned in a low medal score of 329 in a return meet with Highland Park, although the Parkers tied them. As a result of this last dual meet, Bay City was expected to place high in the state meet. But the prophecy did not hold true. The team turned in a total score of 368 to place fourth. Smith was low man with an 83, Leesch shot 90, Waehner, 91, and Preston 104. Grand Rapids won with a medal score of 314. Tennis ALTHOUGH losing all of the matches played this year, Bay City has afforded stiff 4 competition to all junior colleges it has met in tennis. In fact, the opposing coaches have admitted that the Bay town is their most feared snag. The team was made up this year of Pete LaBerge, veteran of 1931, Morris Kreulen, John Keho, Dan Sullivan, Don Oakes, and Lamar Skelton. Kreulen, Keho, and Sullivan will be back next year to form the nucleus of the 1933 net squad. Bay City dropped matches to Flint twice and Highland Park twice. In the state meet every Bay City player was eliminated in the first round. Both Coach Elson C. Hood and the players were satisfied with the team’s showing, since the netters were extremely handicapped due to the lack of practice time and courts. Some of the matches played in Bay City this year were held on the courts of J. Stanley See, Bay City business man, to whom the school is grateful for that service. And so the tennis year ends, one of losses, but one of good sportsmanship and tre- mendous student interest. [22 | Tos. “Clk UsCloBel Intramural Sports Men NDER the guidance and supervision of Russell Amrhein, student athletic manager, Junior College finished a most successful and complete intramural sports year. Mr. Amrhein had John L. Cramer as an assistant. As starter for intramural competition, the freshmen and the sophomores clashed on November 17, in the annual Soph-Frosh football encounter, which ended in a scoreless tie. The Pre-Law basketball squad, winners of the elimination tournament, copped the intramural crown by defeating the Business Ads, who had previously won the round-robin tournament. In the annual Frosh-Soph cage tilt, a picked group of freshmen stars coached by Robert Wood vanquished their upper-class rivals by a score of 15-1. As a spring sports program, tournaments in golf, and in singles and doubles of horse- shoes and tennis were arranged. As yet, the winners of the various torneys have not been determined. In addition to these tourneys, a softball league was organized with teams entering from seven curricula. As a grand finale to the intramural year, a track and field meet together with the annual Frosh-Soph softball battle will be held immediately after examinations. Winners of the various individual tournaments, as well as members of the winning basketball and softball intramural teams, are to receive numerals. Women f hide year the Wilbur Pardon Bowen trophy passes from the safe-keeping of the Corona group into the hands of the Mystics who carried off the highest honors in the niflery, basketball, and swimming competitions. The group winning the cup for three consecutive years keeps it permanently. The Mystic sharp shooters were Winifred Bamford and Louise Talbot. The Corona group, represented by Helen Koth and Marian Spink, came in second, while the S. 5. 5. team, Ruth Forbes and Helen Ossipove, and the Boba team, Emiline Anderson and Eugenia Guindon, took third and fourth places respectively. In basketball the Mystics were again victorious. Ruth Alger, Frances Balwinski, W1ni- fred Bamford, Ellen Boergert, Margaret McMullen, Marion Meisel, Jane Nickless, Esther Schweitzer, and Beatrice Williston played. The Boba group took second place, and the Arpatias, Auraes, and Coronas all tied for third. The Mystics copped the swimming meet with a team composed of Ruth Alger, Ellen Boergert, Reba Langworty, Jane Nickless, Esther Schweitzer, and Beatrice Williston. The Arpatia group came in second, Boba third, and Corona fourth. In tennis the Arpatias, Auraes, the Bobas all tied for first place, the Coronas taking second. Mary Elizabeth Lourim won more singles than any other girl, and the Boba doubles team composed of Louise Steigmeyer and Maria Kirchman was most successful. The baseball competition, which is yet to be played, offers opportunity for more girls to win numerals, but the cup is already assured to the Mystic group.
