LETTER AND SWEATER GIRLS At a pep session before the Central-Emerson basketball game, Mr. Fred H. Croninger awarded sweaters and letters and numerals to those girls who had a sufficient number of points. Dollie Belle Ganther, Maxine Bradtmiller and Marjorie Brighton were the three senior girls who received sweater awards this year. The sweaters this year were white with blue service stripes and a new kind of letter having G. A. A. on it. Mildred Linnemeyer also received one of these new letters for having over a thousand points and running a close race for a letter. Girls who were awarded letters for having 400 points were: Corinne Mudd, Mary Davis, Kathryn Denney, Una Mae Long, Sara Masterson, Lorene Eggiman, Glyda Heckler, Frieda Schneider, and Kate Yaple. The girls who won their numerals, the first acknow- ledgement for their work, were: Kathryn Denney, Margaret Ponsot, Mary Ellen ,Dennis, Lois Ponsot, Olive McNutt, Ethel Kaufmann, Opal McKee, Helen Money, Clara Baals, More numerals and letters were earned after the gym exhibition, baseball, and tennis were over.

IN CHARGE OF GIRLS' SPORTS l Josephine Craig, Well-known as Jo, The brunette of the pair, is well liked we know Her youth and quick wit, and good humor too, Make her a favorite with us and with you. JO CRAIG Along with the new school year last fall came many other new things: a new gym, new freshmen, and two brand new gym teachers with brand new ideas. Something new is always interesting and Miss Maribah Ingham and Miss Josephine Craig have not in anyway disappointed the girls of Central. Both teachers taught in other schools before coming to Central. Also both teachers attended two colleges before receiving their degrees. Miss Ingham attended Battle Creek, Michigan, and finished her work at Wiscon- sin University. Miss Craig started physical education training at Illinois Women's College at Jacksonville, Illinois. She then completed her training at the University of Illinois. Two years ago, there was a system instituted at Central giving the freshmen gymnasium work on three days a week and the upperclassmen on the remaining two days. This system proved to be very practical and is going to be carried on thru the years to come. The gym work consists of clogging, games, volleyball, basketball, base- ball, and tumbling. The after school activities are in the form of tourna- ments in seasonable sports. Miss Meribah Ingham, that beautiful blonde, Is linked to her girls by many a bond. She is young and she is pretty, she's peppy and sweet. Each pupil agrees, She's certainly neat. MERIBAH INGHAM Page 107

A GYM TO CALL THEIR OWN Since Central's new gym is to be used only by the boys, the old gym was remodeled for the girls' use. New equip- ment has made it as convenient as the new gym. One of the small rooms adjoining it was made into a corrective room, equipped with small-bars and a corrective table. The other room is now used as an oflice by the teachers. The walls in both rooms have been painted and the floors covered with linoleum. In the gym proper, new equipment consisted of travel- ing rings, jumping standards, Indian clubs, and a cabinet to hold both Indian clubs and dumb-bells. New benches were purchased, much smaller than the old ones, thereby providing a larger gym floor. The floor itself has been re- finished. The only parts of the new gymnasium which the girls use exclusively are their showers and dressing rooms. Baskets, equipped with locks, are rented to the girls. In these they may keep their gym clothes and towels. How- ever, of all this new equipment, probably no one thing is liked and favored so much as the mirror! The balcony overlooking the floor, formerly used for the boys' lockers, is now used as a balcony where one may sit and watch an entertainment in the gym below. This proves to be a great convenience as seating space on the floor is very limited. All girls taking physical education have shown their appreciation of these advantages by turning out in large numbers for all sports, especially volleyball, basketball, and baseball. An average of 150 girls participate in all the tourneys. Page 109
