June 3, 1932 THE CHALK LINE 29 plays which they have translated for the educa¬ tion and entertainment for the entire school. We were especially fortunate in having the combined Glee Clubs present unusually success¬ fully the operetta “Lelawala”. On March 12 the College again held the Upper East Tennessee Debaiting and Oratorical contest for the high schools representing this section. The Royal Force of the Kitchen Police is a very exclusive organization and very popular. The purpose of this club is two-fold: to serve, and to be served. You need only to eat at the cafeteria to know that each member performs his duty with no other purpose than to serve the hungry. They also like to be served. Each term this force goes on a picnic or has a party. During the Fall term they went to the river on a picnic. During the Winter and Spring terms they were enter¬ tained at the home of their sponsor, Mrs. Hodges. An extra treat was extended this club by Mr. Phillips, with the assistance of his daughter, Mrs. Ralph Carter, at their home, Monday evening, May 22nd. The officers for this year are: President, Mil- burn Waller; Vice-President, Lena Fauver; Secre¬ tary and Treasurer, Rowena Watkins. Successful Intermural Athletic Program For Women 1931-32 The womens athletic program was carried on according to the sports calendar above and under the direction of Mrs. Smith, assisted by the ex¬ ecutive committee. We feel that it has been the most successful year in the history of our school, both from the standpoint of participation and direction. This year the choosing of heads of sports as well as positions of referee and umpire in the various sports was put on a merit basis, tests were given and only those who reached a high standard of excellence were put in charge. It is to their expert direction and to the coopera¬ tion of about 100 girls that we owe such a snappy interesting season. Varsity Basketball held the center of atten¬ tion from the first of January till March. Thirty- two “cagestresses” were out, from which, due to close rivalry, it was very difficult to pick a vars¬ ity squad of 15 members. Those winning team honors were: Arrants, Anderson, Carr, Chapman, K. Johnson, Lovingood, Parker, Vestal, and Wat¬ kins. Others winning squad honors were: N. John¬ son, Keyes, Lovelace, Marshall, Mitchell, R. Myers. Eight varsity games were played with the Teacherettes five times victorious. Excellent playing and good sportsmanship characterized the season, and the whole school is justly proud of its team. Volleyball was the next sport officially open¬ ing, with 36 participants. Keen competition for the title was shown, each class putting out a cracker-jack team. In the last game the Seniors won the championship. Members of the Senior team were: Pemberton, McConnell, Sabin, Park¬ er, Kyte, Knight, Watkins, Lovelace, Walker and Bowman. The clock golf course was the scene of con¬ tinual excitement during the tournament played thereon. It took real skill and steady nerves to put forth the fine playing exhibited in the face of incessant wise cracks (by Mr. Kinkead), ad¬ vice (by McKamey), and good natured banter. The opening of the archery season occasioned the exhibition of such skill that Robinhood him¬ self would have had just cause for dark green envy. Fourteen women entered the tournament. Reynolds cooped the title. Hiking, as an organized sport, has been very popular this year. It is a four-quarter activity. Though the official report is unavailable, the hik¬ ing head reports a very successful and enjoyable season. Try-out tests were given twice during the spring quarter. The passing of this test is one of the most difficult phases of the point system, and requires a thorough knowledge of athletic rules and technique; 10 active games, 10 quiet games, 10 singing games, and 10 folk dances. Those passing the test were: Anderson, Brooks, Buckner, Chapman, Davidson, E. Hart, Harville, Jett, Keyes, R. Myers, Reynolds, Deanie Sherrod, Smelcer, Watkins, Arrants, Carr, Pemberton, I. L. Sherrod, Lovingood, Mitchell, McCorkle, Gard¬ ner, Parker and Vestal. As this goes to press, the Tennis, Track and Baseball seasons are still underway and fine spirit is being shown. There are about twenty-five en¬ trees in the tennis tournament about fifteen out for track and forty participants in baseball. We repeat, this has been a very successful sea¬ son, and “a good time was had by all.” Basketball Tournament For High Schools The State Teachers College again sponsored the Annual District Basketball Tournament for high schools. The tournament was held at the close of the basketball season in February, and was open to all high teams for boys and girls of this district which includes five counties of East Tennessee. Players and enthusiasts came to the meet from many miles out of Johnson City, showing that there was a wide spread interest in this an¬ nual tourney. Never before has there been a more successful meet. Friendliness, good sports¬ manship, and courtesy was seen on all sides. Every game was a real source of pleasure to all spectators, especially the championship matches. In the boys ' tournament, Boones Creek played Elizabethton. After a hard fought game, Eliza¬ bethan finally emerged as victors. In the girls ' tournament, Bloutville defeated Erwin for the championship.
