GIRLS' SWIMMING Although an age old sport, swimming has just within the last year been received very enthusiastically among King Neptune's fair aquatic daughters at Central. Knights have won fair ladies by their skill in this one particular sport and many lives have been saved by some one's skill and valour in this activity, and now the girls of Central are out to win merits of their own in the form of badges for Junior life-saving. At the beginning of the year, classes were held at the Y. W. C. A. under the supervision of Miss Soderlund, who, besides being girls coach and athletic director is also an expert Red Cross life-saving instructor. Later the North Side swimming pool was obtained and classes were held in beginner's swimming, stroking, diving and life-saving and at the ond of the semester there was nary a maid but who could stay up on top of the water.

GIRLS' COACH Soderlund, Rah! Yea! Soderlund. This goes to the girls coach who has led Central girls so faithfully throughout the past year. She is a graduate from Coe College, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and has taught at nu- merous other places before coming to Cen- tral. She was supervisor of physical edu- cation at Kendallville and also taught at Bellevue, Iowa, High School, and the Bloomingdale school of Fort Wayne. Ingrid Soderlund is just a new teacher at Central but thus far has established a record of friendship and good sports- manship that the girls of Central will never forget. INFORMAL GYM In the fall when the school first started the girls spent almost their entire time in the gym in learning to play volleyball. Both the indoor and outdoor courts were used for this game. They kept practising and play- ing the game until all had learned the art very well. Later when volleyball was finished, the gym classes took up cales- thenics, marching, folk dancing, and basketball. After the basketball tournaments were finished, then came the spring sports such as tennis and baseball. Each class had to work on a drill or a dance which was to be their particular part in the exhibition which was given April 27. The rest of the time was spent on baseball and thus the season closed.

CHAMPIONSHIP GYM CLASS TEAM IN VOLLEYBALL First row-E. Ochstein, V. Schweizer, N. Miller. Second row-D. McCague, L. Schultz, Miss Soderlund, I. M. Rey, Martha Reppert. VOLLEYBALL Had anyone been watching the girls early last fall, they might have caught them playing an exciting game full of knocks, jolts, jammed fing- ers, and thrills, but never-the-less, a game calling for skill. Volley-ball has run an even race along with basketball and baseball as one of the major sports this year. Two tournaments were held. The hrst was that of the gym classes. The eighth hour gym class was the winner of this tourney. This team was composed of Nellie Miller, Catherine Knott, Viola Schweizer, Loretta Shultz, Mildred Brown, Martha Reppert, and Irma Marie Rey.
