iw!! all U' new M c 'J I Brad Ord o4nnaL5 with the little practice we have had we shall be able to play Abbott Acad- emy some time this spring. In 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. The Athletic 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 many entries were made, and it was only after a hard struggle that the cup for the singles was finally won by .-Xrdelle llryant. 'lihe tournament for the doubles was only partly played off, and then, owing to the inclemencv of the weather, it was voted' to postpone it until spring. 1 'l'he Golf l.inks, while not so constantly in use as formerly, vet claimed their share of interested players. and it is probable that upon the disappearance of 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 : time will rt-Il whether 'twas idle talk or not. During the months while the gym. was in process of building Nliss llouve escorted parties of girls on walking expeditions, and we have been urged to indulge freely in this exhilarating exercise. Nlany of the girls are not aware of the charming places to be seen by dint of a little energy, and were they to take the advice of the faculty many more jolly trips of this nature niight be taken and found well worth one's time and strength. Skating on 'liupelo Lake 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 be long remembered by the participants. Some of the girls have tried snowshoeing, but the sport seems a trifle tame after home parties in llaine and Canada of which we are told. Now that the gym. is completed basket ball practice has commenced, and we trust this vear's work will keep up to our old record. 1 Un the whole our review of the work of the year has been satisfactory, 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. l 73 l
