tnor ports “What were those requiremnts again?” “Tread water a minute, float for a half minute, and swim the length of the pool 6 times, and no fair putting your feet on the bottom at the shallow end.” Swimming is one of the minor sports at Coker, and some of us took it for four years and still had to get a doctor's certificate to say we weren't physically fit to swim. There must have been some fish, however, because we came in second on College Play Day. Peggy Rogers won the tennis matches for us that Play Day and Shirley Lawhon won the singles in the Coker annual tennis tournament. Others, by the way, were still struggling to learn to “keep that side to the net.” Mr. Smith did much to activate the interest in table ten- mis, and there was always someone in the canteen ready to chal- lenge him to a match. As usual, the volleyball tournament caused much excitement as class fought class for points that may have meant the President’s Cup. Crys of “set it up,” “play your positions,” “Spike!” and “rotate” filled the gym and with no casualty but a broken light fixture the seniors won the tourna- ment. Down at the college club other cries were heard: “Stroke up... lean forward ... feather your blade . . . PULL!, and crew practice was underway. “Down to the bridge one more time, girls,” and a chorus of groans go up. What excitement the day of the races when the whole school turned out to watch, and how wet the winning captain was when the girls threw her overboard! In golf we discovered that all “birdies” didn’t fly and in archery we “applesauced” with other archers, and at the end of the year we realized that these sports were meant to build sound bodies and alert minds and develop the spirit of cooperation among us. Susan and Liz synchronize those strokes! ... Will Liz land flat or not? Sophomores practice for a big game .. . Pompie pings one back to Shirley, and Miss Crary seems to enjoy it... Peg warms up for those matches against Winthrop and Furman... Joyce, Carol, Virginia and Maxine are out for a little cruise around the lake .. . Cynthia gives out with a mighty swing .. . Frankie and Carleene aim for the bull’s-eye. f

Barbara and Ann choreograph a dance. UPlie pear ateleasem re. plicmen a telease -5, straighten up ... don’t just do it, dance it...’ and Mrs. Saunders continues to call directions and give suggestions. Whether it is working on a dance for Arts Forum in Greensboro or choreographing part of the Coker May Day program, your ability did not come overnight. It came after many practice hours, after bending, lifting, prancing, leaping, after doing steps and striking poses that- you felt were foreign to your personality. It came often after being completely frustrated because one measure of music that you could not choreograph. Yes, from chaos and con- fusion, from hours of both physical and mental work spent Beth Blackmon, President. molding a God-given talent come the rich rewards of beauty, grace, perfection of form—and the great inner satisfaction of time well spent and a job well done.
