Coker's synchronized swim club adopted a new name this year. We are now the DOLPHIN-ETTES. All members soon agreed that the name was very ap- propriate. Under the close observation and gentle urg- ing of our sponsor, Miss Martha Washington, the club grew fins fast. Strokes and stunts were practiced and practiced until near perfection was achieved by May Day. Eight of our Dolphin-ettes performed a rigid march number for the fall high school weekend. Uncle Sam costumes swam to the martial tune Stars and Stripes Forever. A second performance of the Dolphin-ettes was given on Coke-r's annual May Day. The theme for this year's show was centered around the various sea- sons of the year. With apparent ease and grace, the girls glided through concise, synchronized numbers. Everyone agreed that the day's performance was well worth the many hours spent learning, practicing and perfecting strokes, stunts and routines. Every Monday night at 7: 15 one could see a crowd of girls heading for the pool with the traditional at- tire of raincoat and towel. During the third quarter the girls decided to meet three times a week to add extra hours of preparation for May Day. Though the club is seemingly centered around the May Day program, that is not its only purpose. Swim- ming gives grace, poise and excellent coordina- tion. All the girls will agree they have extra spunk when they swim a couple hours a week. The Dolphin-ettes also participate in swim meets, entering girls for racing, form and free style. Every girl in the Dolphin-ettes feels her importance as a member of a club whose main purpose is working together. Be- sides swimming like mermaids, the girls also fashion their own costumes, paint their own scenery and cho- reographed their own numbers. All these little drop- lets of imagination go into the big splash called the Dolphin-ettes.

Every student at Coker College is automatically a member of the campus Athletic Association which is under the direction of ATHLETIC COUNCIL. Every Tuesday night Athletic Council meets to plan many of the good times we all have at Coker. Every fall there is an all-school picnic at the Country Club so that the new students will have an opportu- nity to get acquainted with the old students and the faculty. Athletic Council also sponsors the hockey, basketball, archery, recreational games and tennis tournaments which never fail to provide plenty of fun, excitement and keen competition. At the close of the hockey tournament there is the hockey banquet which is eagerly anticipated for it is at this time that the members of the Honor Hockey Team are an- nounced. This council al- so directs several week- ends when high school girls from all parts of the state meet at Coker for Play Days. A highlight of each year is the presentation of athletic awards to stu- dents who have made outstanding achieve- ments in athletics. This spring Athletic Council purchased bi- cycles which have pro- vided a form of recreation PATSY MAXWELL President very popular with Coker students.
