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. Members of the 1930 Girls' Baseball League with their Coach, Mrs. Ingrid Campbell. Page 113
