Nancy Colwe-ll NEW TENNIS COURT Following his policy of providing as many different kinds of recreation as possible for the students, Mr. Matheson conceived the idea, last spring, of building a tennis court at the edge of the grounds behind the ele- mentary school. Soil, largely clay, made a playing surface which was not too hard to get into condition. The younger boys and some of the girls picked stones and helped lay out the court. The more rugged of our heroes located cedar posts, cut, and set them, and strung the wire. Finally a social was held to raise money for a net. just before school closed all was ready for the introduc- tion of a new sport. 2,
