The iirst call for basketball is answered by the girls of Central with eagerness and plenty of pep. The hardwood season is divided into three parts-practice, gym class and class tourneys. Mondays are put aside for the sophomore practice: Tuesday for the freshmen, and Wednesday for the juniors and seniors. This system was inaugurated this year by Miss Ingham and Miss Craig, and has been very successful. This year the first eliminations of the gym class tourney were held in gym class time. Then the winning team of each period entered the final contests, played after school. Each team was known by the name of its captain. There were 14 teams en- tered in the final competition and it was through plenty of hard work that the winner was decided. Although Ceal Romary pulled the easy side of the draw by getting a bye and some freshmen teams, yet her team stacked up against some tough opposition and well deserved to be the gym class tourney champs. In the class tourney, better games were played, one team coming out on top with a two or four point margin. But the veteran senior team, with four years' experience at its back, proved too strong for the remaining class teams and they carried off the title of Class Champions. This is the second year that the members of the class of '31 have been champs. So ended a successful hardwood season and the girls looked forward joyfully to spring sports.

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.

The girls' part of the entertainment included a dumbbell drill and several clog dances: Hayfoot, Rig-a-jig, Old Bill, and t'Encore. They also gave two natural dances entitled The Flower XValtz, and 'tThe Blue Danube. The annual exhibition presented by the physical education department on April 17 was theoretically divided into two parts. The first division consisted of the formal gymnastic work offered in the department. This included a. flag drill, a novel athletic pageant representing dilferent sports, clog and tap dances, and tumbling. Several humorous games and relays were played during the intermission. A fanciful garden was the scene of the second division of the entertainment which consisted of natural dances. Each dance was used as a background for the following dance. In this way grass blades, a fence, gates, sweetpeas, bluebirds, and Peter Rabbit made their appearance on the scene, A gardner and two statues were the inhabitants of the garden. The only supposed t'humans danced a Virginia Reel. Finally, as evening fell on the garden, glowing fireflies danced among the flowers. making an effective ending to a very enjoyable night.
