Secretary ARLETTE HANLY .. .... T'reasufre'r The revision of the W. A. A. constitution to fit the needs of the organization was completed early this fall. Due to the inclement weather volley ball was substituted for hockey this year. After many practices, two teams were chosen, 'tJerry's Pirates and the T. N. T's, captained by .Terry Gleason and Lucille Smith. These teams played a series of hard games in the final tournament, resulting in the championship of Jerry's Pirates. A varsity team chosen from the two teams included: Rena Cornell, Hortense Coyle, Edith Giessow, Jerry Gleason, Gladys Hedstrom, Mildred Massen, Jennie Look, Alice Perdew, Marian Ruch, and Lucille Smith. The swimming season closed with a meet featuring racing, diving, and stunts by three teams, The Garter Snakes, Pirates, and Mere-Maids, captained by Marian Ruch, Gladys Hedstrom, and Edith Giessow. The Garter Snakes won the meet. The swimming varsity includes: Rena Cornell, Eugenia Robertson, Maurine Mont- gomery, Lucille Smith, Marian Ruch, Beth Massey, Hortense Coyle, and Gladys Hed-- strom. The fall sport season ended with a volley ball and swimming banquet. At this time the varsities were announced, numerals awarded, and W. A. A. pins presented to those who had earned 400 points. Great enthusiasm was shown in basketball, reaching a climax in a fast game 'at the gymnasium exhibition in March.

With Edith Munns as chairman, the dance proved a great success, enabling the W. A. A. to contribute to the fund. The Fashion Revue, May 7th, was equally successful. We must not forget the tennis season for the spring of '25 when Opal Kelly and Helen Cafferty, our two contestants in the I. I. A. C. meet at Decatur, won the doubles championship. The Bradley women carried off the honors in the telegraphic track meet with Milli- kin in the 1925 season.
