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.

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.

SPRING SPORTS TENNIS TEAM FOR 1930 First row: Betty VanArnam, Anne Linnemeyer. Second row: Mildred Linnemeyer, Mary Weaver, Norma Lewerenz, Miss Thomas Qcoachl, Irma Rey, Dollie Belle Ganther. Spring Sports opened this year with nearly one hundred girls answering the call. These consisted of freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior girls, the freshman having the greatest number. The first and probably the most popular game played this year was baseball. Because of cold weather, indoor baseball was played, but as it grew warmer, the girls played on their favorite diamond, across the street. This year enough responded to divide the players in four groups, meeting Mon- day, Tuesday, Vklednesday, and Thursday evenings. The freshmen were taken into a special group and taught the fundamentals of the game, while the advanced players entered a small tournament among themselves. Tl1e baseball season wound up with an interclass tournament in which all four groups took part. After each group had played his opponent once, the champion team was picked. Track and tennis were also included in the spring sports this year, track being a new sport. Several t1'ack meets we1'e held in which girls entered for individual honors. Tennis meets were held at Memorial Park for all girls interested. After these meets ended, likewise ended the school for the summer, so the whizz of the baseball and the crack of the bat were stopped until next year.
