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

VOLLEY-BALL ALL-STAR TEAM Inset: Maxine Bradtmiller. Mildred Linnemeyer. Standing: Cecelia Romary, Marjorie Brighton, Esther Masterson, Miss Craig, Neva Williams. Sitting: Dolly Belle Ganther, Virginia Brittenham, Margaret Benecke. The first sport this year to catch the eyes of the girl athletes was volleyball. With a new gym, which the girls could call their own, to play in, everything was complete for an active year. The first call was issued shortly after the fall term started in September. Nearly a hundred girls responded. In order to develop the sport more perfectly, the girls were divided into four groups, freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior teams. Each met one night a week for practice. After several weeks of this routine, a volleyball tournament was held. The first series of games was played among teams in the individual groups. The sec- cnd series of games was between the four classes, with the outstanding players in each representing her group. This tourn- ament ended with Dollie Belle Ganther's team winning the championship. From this tournament were selected nine outstanding players to form an All-Star Team. The nine girls who received this honor are: Marjorie Brighton, Margaret Benecke, Maxine Bradtmiller, Dollie Belle Ganther, Mildred Linnemeyer, Virginia Brittenham, Sara Masterson, Ceal Romary, and Neva Williams.
