The work is no longer confined to a few Indian club drills as formerly, the women are permitted to choose their sports from as wide a field as the men. In the fall there is hockey, tennis, swim- ming and golf. Will we ever forget those peppy hockey tournaments and swimming meets? In the winter there are also many delightful things to do, Swedish gymnastics, dancing, basket- ball, volley ball and swimming. The spring season also offers swimming, with the addition of baseball and track and field. On March 24th the various gymnas- ium classes gave an excellent exhibition of their work in the men's gymnasium. The program consisted of just the things the girls are used to doing every day in their gym classes, marching, appar- atus work, Swedish gymnastics, etc. The folk dances were indeed charming, but of special note was the rhythmic dancing intrepreted by Lucile Smith, Beulah Conlee and Helen Baker. At least two hours a week of work in physical education is required for Freshmen and Sophomore women. The aim of the department is to establish health habits, to encourage participation in physical activity, and to develop strength, grace, and poise of body.
