mm mmu mnmmm m . BJ OO OIOt O Qirls Hochey Hockey is one of the most highly organized team games played by Central Junior girls. It is a dashing, dribbling, hitting game. It is played with a ball and curved sticks shaped like a shepherd ' s crook and is an ideal game for the cool, crisp days of autumn. It is, in fact, the first team sport in which the girls ' gym classes engage during the year. Each year a Hockey Tournament is held. Teams are selected from the classes of Miss Root and Miss Duncan, the instructors. This year a series of three games was played, the decision being in favor of Miss Duncan ' s girls. Interest ran high and there was much rooting for both teams, but a fine spirit prevailed throughout. After the final game, Mrs. Poorman entertained both the winners and the de- feated with sandwiches. These were much appreciated. Both teams were then given a party by the instructors at the home of Miss Root and everyone present had a royal time. Pupils of both teams who were given school letters are pictured and named on the opposite page. h ewcomb Newcomb, a game much resembling Volleyball, is one of the newer games to be introduced and played at Central Junior. However, it has proved its worth and the playing of it has been keenly enjoyed by the girls. A tournament was held at the end of the season among the first-year classes. Miss Duncan ' s winning team, whose pictures and names appear below, were awarded chevrons. NEWCOMB Top Row : Magazine, Lower, Owens, Barnes, Gee, Cloud, Boden.

Playing this game was not a task but a pleasure. Some of the fruits of basketball have been the splendid physical training for the girls, the arousing of a competitive spirit and good natured rivalry, and above all, the spirit of teamwork and good sports- manship. Perhaps the one thing that aroused the girls and served as an incentive to hard work was the looking forward to the final tournament. The instructors, Miss Duncan and Miss Root, selected the final teams from their large squads for the tournament. Three games were necessary to get a decision, each team having won a game. The games were closely contested and fervently supported by the friends of the teams, even some of the mothers and fathers of players being present. Both in victory and defeat a fine spirit of sportsmanship was present. Miss Duncan ' s girls were victors. To end a perfect season the teams hiked to Swope Park and had breakfast together. The girls who received letters in basketball are pictured and named above. 3 !tf «£js3: s;f ;i ' Page One Hundred Fifty-four
