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.

She inspired the confidence of both team and coach and then lived up to it. Dependable and consistent from beginning to end. Shirt is a real spo-rt. LENA RUTH VOSSLER- SIS A team mate -of equal ability for Shirley. After two fouls had been called on her, the game was on in earnest! Not for the opponents-Oh, no, for them it was over. MXARCEL BURDEN-- BABE She doesn't say much-but why sh-ould she? Actions speak louder than words! Babe forms the other point of that invincible defensive triangle. Basket ball to Babe is a problem and she fattacks it as such, cool, collected. But it's fun-and she loves it. , MONA LINDER- MONA ' ,Mona was a consistent, hard playing team-mate. She might have been timid about shooting but that was all. She filled her place in that scheme 'of offense which, once started, couldn't be stopped. We can sum the whole thing up by saying her basket- ball playing is commensurate, only with her chewing gum. ELIZABETH CARTNIELL- LIZ Liz was our high point scorer for the season. As for her opponent, they might have been out big game hunting , because hunting was all they ever did where she was concerned. She was much too fast for them even to find her-Whiz- she had the ball, Whiz-we had a basket. MARGARET. BUSH- BUSH Bush is our only senior. We feel sure that if she shows the same good sports- manship and fight in the game of life that she does in the game of basket ball, she will certainly be a success. She filled the bill both offensively and defensively and we say, Best of luck, Bush. LULA MAE TERWILLIGER- LU Lue came to us at the beginning of the second semester. It seemed as though we were waiting for that confidence and assurance that she gave us. We can cer- tainly say that, with her dependability and cleverness, she was a big help to our team. MARJEAN HEADAPCHL Marjean in her quiet but deliberate way was' ready to rise to any necessity that circumstances demand. The team felt that perfect confidence that she always seemed to inspire. We can remember when our team looked 'decidedly better because of her. FLORENCE KA-NTN ER- SH'ORTY Shorty was an inspiration to all. What she lacked in inches she amply made up for in fight. She has the spirit that makes successful ball teams. And now we come to those girls who really make teams like we had possible. Those girls who, evening after evening, faithfully came to practice and yet, whose rewards are not in the form of letters or participation in games. Those girls com- mand great respect from both team and coach. Their sportsmanship is a thing which has been a goal for all' to work for. The following merit mention, because at various they have-been a part of our playing scheme: Elizabeth Bachman, Frances Brodbeck, Emma Vorhees, Caroline Weimert, and Laura Alice Youngs. Last, but not least, comes another who has helped make our team the success it was, Kathleen VVoolfe, our trusty manager. Always ready to do her share, cheer- fully and willingly. Kathleen and her team mate, Virginia McCormick are' a proof that one can know real sportsmanship 'without being a participant in the game. We thank them!
