A-HUNTING WE WILL GO LAST October, the Athletic Society sponsored a never-to-be-forgotten paper chase. The hares scattered the paper, the girls chased the paper, the wind chased the girls, in fact, it was tit for tat all round. The girls tramped along railway ties, climbed mountains, slipped into streams, sloshed through mud, and generally -enjoyed themselves. It took the keenest hounds in the group to discover the hares in their hide-away. On their return, tired hounds and hares alike, rejoiced in apples and biscuits and as a reward for their long grind had the privilege -of dancing in the gym. iii' BADMINTON BADMINTON caused plenty of ex- citement amongst the girls this year. Nearly one hundred players turned out for the first work-out. Just a little reminder of last year's badminton, when many weeks were devoted to this popular sport. A small fee was charged for member- ship in the club. The tournament schedule was worked out on a straight elimination basis and proved success- ful. After many hard-played games, Irene and Helena Lembke once again carried off the championship honors of the school. This year no fee was charged. An inter-form competition was arranged, the contestants playing for their forms. No more than six members from each form were eligible. This plan was a howling success, although the games were again an elimination series. The final game was between the Helena Lembke and Mamie Ramm team, 3S3, and Dot Herrington and Irene Lembke, 4S1, the former win- ning the 1932-1933 championship of the school. EASTERN ECHO TENNIS CLUB SOON FOR the first time in our history the Girls' Athletic Society will organize a tennis club. The members will play after school at near-by courts. A tournament is being planned and all tennis enthusiasts are assured of an interesting and enjoyable time. To date over one hundred girls have made application to join. 'kit TRACK TEAM COMES IN AMONG LEADERS THE girls' track team certainly be- lieve that If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. A quartette of sprinters have gone to the annual school games for the last three years, with high hopes, but twice have re- turned with their hopes unfulfilled. The third time, however, they suc- ceeded in coming in an excellent third, in fact, the real race was between second and third and it was extremely close.
