A Girls' Athletics Athletics for both girls and boys are the objectives of the physical education department of our school. Believing that these are worthy aims, the girls have been privileged to continue with their basketball activities. This year there was an un- usually large number -of girls participating. The formation of la team is indeed a big problem for any coach. Team work means more than individual players being selected on a team since all must be of the same mind. We believe this type of cooperation has been well accomplished in our basketball team. To Win games is always the outstanding objective of .al team but how to win is a far superior aim. The efforts of the girls have been to Win but Win like real sports'- men. To win games means that all must be in good physical condition and this too is one of the purposes of the team. We believe this objective has been realized. . Only by a real bit of true leadership, can a team realize the full value of bas- ketball. We believe and kn-ow this leadership has been had in the pefrsonagef of our coach, Miss Embree, In all events she has emphasized Winning but by clean, straight sportsmanship. We believe our year has been a success under her coaching. -u-of-0--o-M 0 -l--9-Q-o--ov -0-4-'va-m Q -a--0-+0-4--u 5 1u1n1u1n1u1 114 1 iuxn101.01010141111101 sfo ! ! ! ! E.
