By changing the numbers allowed in the line-up to forty-two, much larger numbers were enabled to play and receive the benefits of the game. Interest in the game was brought to a head during the final games between the girls of the instructors ' classes. As usual the competition was keen and spirited and the teams struggled heroically to win the coveted honor of being champion. The score of the final game was 47 to 20 in favor of Miss Duncan ' s girls, thus making them winners of the tour- nament. Both teams were awarded letters. mm MISS ROOT ' S VOLLEY BALL TEAM Top Row: Kamen, Stand, E. Hunter, Stigall, May-field, Leffler, Comer, Belcher.

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

lei KJfmOOO EIIOt ' Boys ' Qymnasium It is the aim of the boys ' gymnasium department to have every boy on a team and every boy an athlete to the best of his ability. Each gym class is divided into a heavy weight group and a light weight group. Each group has four teams, which are permanent and each team has its leader or captain. This gives each class eight leaders and eight teams, four heavy and four light. Since there are eleven gym classes, there are eighty-eight captains and the same number of teams. These teams compete against each other in various gymnastic stunts, also in basketball, soccer, water polo, swimming, races, volleyball, baseball, and track. The champion of each group meets the other champions in tournaments for the inter- class championship of the school. All tournaments are yet to be played off, basketball being the only one finished. Out of eighty-eight teams, sixteen class champions were left, eight big and eight small. The captains of Mr. Parker ' s teams were: Large: Griesel, Vasholz, and, Luck; Small: Brown, Payne, and Kiel. Mr. Craig ' s captains were; Large: Sams, Phipps, Highley, and Leach; Small: Gassman, Rogers, Rufi, Goss, and Hey. The champion- ship of the large group was won by Park Luck ' s team of Mr. Parker ' s sixth hour. The championship of the small group was won by Charles Brown ' s team of Mr. Park- er ' s seventh hour. The gym schedule for one week runs as follows: Monday and Tuesday, swimming and gymnasium work; Wednesday, calisthenics, both classes together; Thursday, ap- paratus work on the bucks, horses, parallel bars, mats, spring boards, ropes and rings, or play ground; Friday, inter-class athletics, mass and individual. One Friday of each month, instruction is given to non-swimmers. On one Friday of each month, there are water sports for all swimmers. !:ii?::i:«;£j: :L !H;i?aKMft Page One Hundred Fifty-fix
