This team lost only three games, which gave us second place in the league. The sportsmanship cup went to Odessa Central School and the League Cup went to Ovid. The team wishes to express 1t's appreciation to Mr. Smith, the Coach, who did so much toward making the team a SUCCESS. Besides the games that were played with other schools, there were numerous interclass and intramural games here in our own school. The girls have also taken an active part in the field of sports this year. They even took up football, and although their tactics amused the boys, they had fun. Miss Strauss is the girls Physical Education instructor this year. She takes a great interest ln sports and is well liked by everyone. Today, more than ever, a sports program is necessary, to prepare students for later life. Dundee Central has an excellent system, and we're proud of it. Elly Kent

Cl-IOQLJS The Girls' High School Chorus now consists of forty-three members. Each year several of the singers are lost at grad- uation, but their places are filled by new Freshmen the following year. Chorus is a class in which one can enjoy herself as well as sing and appreciate good music. A few minutes of each rehearsal is devoted to exercises and scales which develop good breathing and tone quality. We are not always anxious for this portion of our training, but as we notice the 1m- provement in our voices, we realize its im- portance. The chorus, which once had the honor of Journeying to Atlantic City, will probably take no part in contests for the duration. However, there are many other activities in which it participates. For the past two years, Miss Elizabeth Swain has been the instructor of vocal music in the school. During this time, we have sung in assemblies, church services, and Chr stmas programs. This year we have sung music by Grieg, Handel, Strauss, and other well-known composers. The Girls Chorus is one of the out- standing organizations in school. Helen Castle 26

Football was introduced into the depart- ment for the first time. There-were many games which were played between the classes and most of the girls appreciated a change from the routine sports. Softball played an important part in the department until tH,e first signs of winter could be seen add then the girls were forced to resort to indoor sports. Classes also competed against each other in this sport, and when spring arrives again it will probably find the girls participating in games of softball. The two most important sports which the girls engage in during the winter are basketball and volleyball. The girls enjoyed these sports immensely and many lnterclass games were participated in and enjoyed. The Physical Education Department is striving to build up the physical stature of the students in the school. It is the student's duty to help achieve this purpose. Alice Beard
