GIRLS' SPORTS The girls' athletic season opened this year with volley ball. Every gymnasium class chose teams, every girl being a member on some team. Each team elected a captain and also a name for itself. All the girls learned the rules of the games so that they could umpire the scheduled games .for their period if they were called upon. The series of class games which determines the period champions is called the Round Robin Tournament, while the group of games that determines the school championshiws called th Elimination Tourna- ment. ' , f The True-Blues, captained by Ma y ay, the champion- ship in volley ball for the morning classe he e-Smackers, after keen competition, won the afternoon cha pionship game from the Spartans, captained by Lois Walstrom, with a score of nineteen to eighteen. The Sure-Smackers then won the school championship from the True-Blues. Madeline Gabelich was the captain of the Sure- Smackers. Other members, of the team were: Esther Selin, Mary Grevas, Effie Erickson, Dorothy Solie, Lena Donatoni, Nina Bogdano- vEh,lTVlardelle Pilgrim, Amalia Carreon, Bettie Tobies, and Aune Salminen. The game was a very exciting one and brought a large crowd to cheer. Both teams displayed fine teamwork volleying the ball back and forth over the net many times, trying hard for each point. The True- Blues lost by only one point, the score being nineteen to eighteen. Mr. Porter was the official referee for this game and Miss Whittlesey was the official linesman. The school champions are to receive seventy-five points, and the morning and afternoon champions are to receive twenty-five points on their point record cards. The points count toward receiving the shields. There are many different ways to earn points toward a mono- gram besides being on winning teams. Some of these methods are by being a monitor, by acting as a squad leader, or by being captain of a team. Ten points are awarded to any girl who has played the game to the best of her ability and has displayed good sportsmanship, even though her team has not been victorious. Many girls earn these points for they all try to uphold the Dana spirit. For her first one hundred and seventy-five points a girl receives the shield: when three hundred and fifty points are earned she receives a chevron to be sewed under the ship: those girls who earn five hun- dred points are awarded a shield and two chevrons. Three chevrons and one star are awarded for eight hundred and fifty points, and three chevrons and two stars for one thousand points. The last is the highest award possible. The girls shield has been improved. lntsead of being the blue shield with a plain D on it, the blue shield now is edged with a green borden and displays a green ship. On the sail of the ship is a blue Below the ship is a place for the chevrons. Mrs. McCarty, Mrs. Suitor, Mrs. Hight, and Miss Haynes are the girls' physical education teachers at Dana Iunior High School. The girls learn to be good sports, tg be courteous to each other, and to have the right school spirit.
