Saccea One of the most exciting sports of the fall term was soccer. Each afternoon we climbed aboard the busses which took us to Look Park and We were soon clamoring down the field after the ball. These practices did much to get us in trim for the inter-school and inter-team games as the Purples and Yellow teams were not the only principal opponents this year, there was also Burnham vs. Stonleigh. Both good spirit and excellent teamwork were de- veloped and an equally good season is anticipated for next year. I FIRST ROW-left to right: L. Metcalf, A. Kellogg, A. Hunt, S. Knapp, M. D. Hough, M.

Perhaps the reason is not only because of the joy of riding, but for the character building gained by knowing how to control a skittish horse. We have added supper rides and a horseshow to make riding even more interesting. 60 E. Belinowiz, M. Wheel- wright, E. Florence, P. Kel- sey, I. Kinney, M, I. Carl-

With the help of Peggy, Ruth and Willie, the players learned new techniques which got them in trim tor inter- team games. Friday evenings competitive games between the Yellow and Purple teams were played. With Nancy Davis, a Smith student, as a referee, the scorekeepers, cheerleaders and teammates cheering from the balcony, they showed excellent teamwork and played exciting games. They had their tun and exercise and we hope the grand spirit will continue through- out the coming years. PURPLE TEAM FIRST ROW- left to right: L.. A, Keinle, I. Vuillet. SECOND ROW: K.
