SELF-TESTING ACTIVITIES Self-testing activities offer to each girl an opportunity to make 50 points each semester toward a monogram. Pic- tures of the girls making the highest scores during the first semester this year appear on the opposite page. The purpose of self-testing activities is to develop strength and skill in the performance of certain events. The events chosen each semester are, for the most part, those which afford practice in the particular sport then in season. During the first quarter, soccer pitch and soccer throw for distance were especially appropriateg during the second quarter, volley ball serve and return g during the third, basketball goal and basketball throw for distance, and during the fourth baseball pitch and baseball strike. In addition to these, tennis serve has been continued throughout the year. Five events are practiced during a semester. A per- fect score is 10 points for each event. The highest record made this year is 49 points, which, however, is a mighty fine showing. The awarding of monograms and the passing of the Pentalphean requirement are based upon the number of points earned by a girl during a semester. Girls may earn points in the following Ways: 1. By perfect attendance. 2. By dressing completely every day. 3- By having a good posture. 4. By taking showers. 5. By scoring in self-testing events. 6. By belonging to a winning noon or period team. 7. By earning a good grade in wholesome living. 8. By reporting every noon for scheduled games. 9.
