WOMEN'S SPURTS CLUB It is the objective of those directing girls' activities at Brockport to provide recrea- tional opportunities of interest for every girl in school. The direction of Miss Crabtree has held true to this belief as evidenced by the broad and comprehensive recreational program provided for women of this school. Included in the many tournaments that are held are field hockey, soccer, volley- ball, bowling, table tennis Cdouble and singlesD, tennis Cdouble and singlesl, basket- ball, softball, badminton, and shufflehoard. Among other activities provided for are swimming, modern dance and tumbling. In an effort to give girls the opportunity to meet new friends and enjoy new experiences, Brockport, Fredonia, Buffalo State Teachers College, Ceneseo State Teachers College, Oswego State Teachers College and the University of Rochester join together at each school to share a sport's day. On January Sth our girls provided the visitors with the opportunity to participate in volleyball, swimming, bowling and folk dancing. The other schools mentioned reciprocated with a sport's day of their own. In the past season two representatives, Joan Butmore and Ann Brown, were sent to the New York State W. A. A. Conference held at the University of Syracuse. It is also being planned to send two delegates to the National Athletic Federation for College Women which will be held at the University of Wisconsin. The end of a highly successful season has left much satisfaction and has fostered the urge to make the program more expansive and comprehensive in the coming years. It is the hope of all that the woman's part in the building of healthy minds and bodies may at long last be realized. 3.-f'- .f K Mn. 89 , AE.
