Sfm'111f'y URING the fall term hockey became, perhaps, the most popular of the outdoor sports. Uwing to the efforts of our new gymnasium teacher, Nliss Bouve, the girls became greatly interested in this sport, and it was unanimously voted by the Athletic Association that twenty-five dollars should be expended to rent a field near by for daily practice, it being thought there was no place suitable on the grounds. Owing to the kind- ness of the trustees, however, a large space on our own grounds was cleared, back of the school, and immediately one hundred of the girls ordered sticks and shin-guards, in order to be ready for play as soon as the field should be ready for use. This did not take long, and soon girls were seen on the hockey field at all hours of the day. Four regular class teams were formed, and had not the snow come games would have been played between them to decide which was champion. However, it was onlvia postpone- ment, as they are to be played off this spring.

G3 rad ord 9421216155 with the little practice we have had we shall be able to play Abbott Acad- enn' some time this spring. ln the meantime the tennis courts were not being neglected. The girls took such an interest that it was decided to hold tournaments both in singles and doubles. 'lihe .-Xthletic Association offered as prizes three pewter cups: one for the winner of the singles, the other two for the winners of the doubles. .-X great tnany entries were made, and it was only after a hard struggle that the cup for the singles was finally won by .Nrdelle llrvant. ilihe tourn:uneut for the doubles was only partly played off. and then. owing ro the inclemencv of the weather, it was voted to postpone it until spring. , i 'lihe Golf l.inks. while not so constantly in use as formerly, vet claimed their share tif interested players, and it is probable that upon the disappearance ot the snow the usual number of recruits will be seen. 'lihere was some hint of a baseball nine being organized before the cold weather set in 1 time will tell whether 'twas idle talk or not. During the months while the gym. was in process of building Nliss ii.,titt1t-tt-.ii-it-.1 parties of girls on walking expeditions, and we have been urged In indulge freely in this exhilarating exercise. lVIany of the girls are not aware tif the charming places to be seen by dint of a little energy. and were they to take the advice of the faculty tnany more jolly trips of this nature might be taken and found well worth one's time and strength. Skating on iliupelo l.ake has been well nigh impossible, owing to the quantity of snow which after one of the rainstorms became solid and immovable, vet a few enjoyable days were spent: and one carnival under Japanese lanterns will he long remembered by the participants. Some of the girls have tried snowshoeing, but the sport seetns a trifle tame after home parties in Xlaine and Canada of which we are told. Now that the gym. is completed basket ball practice has commenced, and we trust this year's work will keep up to our old record. Un the whole our review of the work of the year has been satisfactoryg and in view of the fact that we have had no place for regular exercise, the general health of the school has been very good, and everyone is now ready to make up for lost time by vigorously getting the most from our renewal of the use of Swedish gymnastics. l73l
