Skim? Burnham has had many ski enthusiasts this year. Not only on week days, but also weekends, one could find us on Hospital Hill practicing the snowplow or stem turn while visioning the sunny slopes of Snow Valley, and that anticipated ski-weekend, but an even greater pleasure was attained when each discovered the satisfaction of a well-executed maneuver. lt's a sure bet that the Hill will be well populated by us all next winter. 1 FIRST ROW - left tc right: E.

We discovered for ourselves that it really isn't so hard. After a few tries and, yes, a fall or two perhaps, we agreed unanimously that skating on the Smith rink was fun. Our only regret was that we did not get more chances to par- ticipate in this marvelous sport. 65

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
