Girls' Intramurals Not one of the previous years has found our girls so interestingly engaged in the athletic program. This is partly due to our worthy physical education in- structor, Miss Virginia Boyd. Shortly after school was under way, volley ball took up the timeg but basket- ball seemed to be the main interest among our female athletes. It proved to be the most wide-spread competitive sport, and some of the encounters could not be excelled. The inter-class program enabled numerous enthusiastic girls to participate. Following a series of home-room combats, our instructor selected final class teams consisting of many promising basketball players. Amid shouts and cheers the tournament was in progress. Many exciting contests were witnessed by gay crowds. All the matches were filled with rivalry-never a boring moment. The sophomores started off with success in all combatsg but as the tournament reach- ed its close, the seniors won and were hailed champions of the inter-class teams. I am sure I have considerable reasons for saying that one of the most spectacu- lar events of the year was that in which the senior girls matched their basket- ball skill with that of the senior boys. What a game! Half of it was played by girls' rules, and the remaining half by boys' rules. This being a most unusual event, a large crowd was drawn to the gymnasium on this particular day. The girls had several real shooters, and under the hoop they were dead shots. The girls really made things difficult for their opponents. But the boys were not to be outdone. They displayed their best in topping the girls, but this was just a small margin, however, the girls fared well. We dare not omit another outstanding battle. Our sophomore girls were fortunate in defeating the Ligonier sophomores by a margin of two points in our gymnasium, the final score being 12-10. However, we must consider that those girls had never played on a strange floor before. After practicing a few nights a week, the Derry sophomores made a good showing. And now, as we close this basketball season, we are greatly satisfied with it. Every girl has done her best, and the interest has certainly been keen. We are all sorry that it is overg but, with the exception of the seniors, we can anticipate more athletic encounters next year.
