THE KNIGHT GiRLs' ATHLETICS .Whoopi The girls are off for a successful season in athletics. The first thing they did to attract attention was to have an A. A. meeting. Pep was not lacking on the morning of the 18th of September. Every- one took notice feven the Freshmenl at the excellent speech Miss Barnes made on Good Sportsmanship. The big event of the meeting was the election of officers. Grace Archer was given the office of presidentg Ruth Bryson, vice-presidentg Mildred Blair, secretary, and Marion Pur- beck, treasurer. Here's hoping they will make a big success of the A. A. this year. The selling of the A. A. tickets started immediately and due to the enthusiasm of the girls it was a big Success this year. The Freshmen, even though they are unaccustomed to these proceedings, brought their money promptly, setting a good example for everyone. Now, girls, you have started this year well, let's keep it up with successful athletics. The hockey season has begun and let's make it a big, successful one. Anyone who is interested come out and get practice. Every girl can't be on the Varsity but the more one plays the better chance there is of getting on class teams, and next year, perhaps the big team. We are going to have the best team this year of any, thanks to Miss Barnes, and the way to keep it that way is to have excellent support on the part of the student body. Everyone should come out and cheer, sing and lead their team to victory. Now that we are starting in on our athletics We must remember Miss Barnes' speech- Good Sportsmanship. Girls, it is the very keynote to our success in everything we undertake. If we have that quality we will come out of our athletics with banners flying. Per- haps we can't always win but if we can't, be a sport about it and cheer your teams anyway. Losing, however, does not lower our standard. Our standard of honor can remain. forever by clean sports and a good spirit. Make our motto, Each Year Better Than the Last, come true! HOCKEY SCHEDULE October 5'-Palmyra, home.

THE KNIGHT Gloucester vs. C. H. S. In a practice game, on September 22, with Gloucester, C. H. S. showed its superiority by downing Gloucester to the tune of 66-O. As -every one of our players played well it is hard to say who starred. Be- fore the first quarter was finished Mr. Irvine sent in the second string men. The third and fourth teams also had a chance. ' Moorestown H. S. vs. C. H. S. On September 29 Moorestfown visited Collingswood. Captain Wil- kins won the toss and Collingswood received the ball. After pushing the ball up to the 40 yard line, H. Nichols received the ball and made a pretty drop kick which cleared the bar. Neither team scored from that time until the last p-eriod. In the fourth period in the last few minutes of play, Jolly, Wilkins and Nichols pushed the ball over the line. Nichols failed to kick the ball and the game was over. Tieghan starred with his end runs, putting his utmost into every play. The game was marked by a great number of penalties, of which C. H. S. received goodly number. But at the finish Collingswood was on top. The score was 9-0. - Collingswood was unfortunate in not being able to play Camden this year because of a cancellation by Camden. This game was being looked forward to by every student. The 1922 Football schedule as compiled by the management is as follows: -September 29-Moorestown, home. October 6-Camden, home Ccancelledl.

THE ZKNIGHT On Thursday afternoon, September 28,'the Girls' A. A. gave a re- ception for the Freshmen. The lunchroom never witnessed such a crowd. There were about two hundred and seventy-five girls there. The fun began about 3.15 o'clock when the entertainment started. Grace Archer opened the program by a speech, welcoming the Fresh- men. Her oration was received loudly by all. Everyone was surprised when they heard the Girls' Jazz Orchestra, consisting of mouth organs, whistles and similar instruments. The harmony made by these various pieces was unsurpassable, We were next given an exhibition of our vocal talent by having rendered The Pig Song, which consisted of snorts. Muriel Mitchell gave us two very humorous recitations which everyone enjoyed. Marion Purbeck took the part of a snake charmer, but the snake grew unmanageable which caused the tragic death of the dancer. Helen O'Neal gave us a beautiful accordion selection played on Misss Anderson's clothesrack. It was called the Piece without Notes, very beautiful? Mildred Blair told us of the fly which went to heaven in portions and Miss O'Neal continued with a story of another fly. Dorothy Spealler rendered a pathetic ballad about a Chinaman sitting on a chest of tea. Several of the girls made the Organ Peal Bananas, -which caused everyone to weep. Helen Scudder read us a poem which was very amusing as everything was said backwards. Edith Robbins also recited Jacob's Lament. The most important thing on the pro- gram was the EATS. Miss Hillman and Miss C. Weaver seemed to act queer afterward but-perhaps it was natural. After cheers and songs the party finally came to an end withmuch regret on the part of everyone. The officers of the Girls' A. A. wish to thank all those girls wha participated in the entertainment and also those who prepared for thu. reception. They also wish to thank Miss Anderson for her help. Miss Weaver and Miss Hillman, we enjoyed your company and wish to say you are both good sports. The girls of Collingswood High wish to welcome Miss Barnes, oui new physical training instructor. We feel sure she will promote the Girls' Athletics to a high standard and complete the year with success. MARION PURBECK, '24 Correspondent 31
