There's always loads ot activity at the Smith swimming pool, where our Burnham mermaids get along 'iswimmingly . We always look tor- ward to the meet between the Yellow and Purple teams, with ex- citement plus, and owe many thanks to Miss Goss tor the very competent instruction. 7enmJ.t During the tall term the courts were always tull with tennis enthusiasts. Cries ot doubles and net ball Could be heard from beginners as Well as the more experienced play- ers who put their hearts and souls into a set or two. Many profited from the instructions and are eager to be back on the base line again in the spring.

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-

M Mensendieck was first introduced to Bum- ham by Miss Ottesen three years ago. lt is a group of exercises devised by Dr. Mensendieck for the purpose of correct muscle co-ordination and the improve- ment of posture defects. For the past three years it has been voluntary for old girls and a must for the new students. Burnham's success course has been most popular, and a best posture award is given annually in Iune to the girl who has shown most improvement in posture during her days at school. 62 Dancing held top honors in popularity this year, which is easy to understand once one catches a glimpse of the variety of fun included in this sport. Folk danc- ing and modern ballet are specialties while some very nice work has been done in choreography by the Dance Major group. The girls have enjoyed this activity greatly and know that much of its appeal is owed to its guiding spirit, Miss Mendes. pm? Pang Ping Pong Was perhaps the most sought after winter sport. So popular is this game at Burnham that it took a great deal of maneuvering and work to fit all who wished to play into a class. Well, it was done, and the classes have pro- gressed beautifully and entertained the school with many matches and a lot of swift action. Scprsnnan June
