,.-.,.-.i-.-v- 1- r .Another gym entoosiast is Jane Brehm, whose earnest captain-like entreaties, Girls, get in line , Do you have a partner? , Please be quiet , proves her high regard for our gym. To these girls and others-Afton Denmark, Jane Atwood, June Zata- rain, Eola Prowell-we offer a twen- ty-one gun salute. P.S.-And incidentally that salute puts you all in the Big Time league. Some People Say-- PANSIES are red, Gladiola are blue, Swee'peas are sweet. You think this is going to rhyme- But-it ain't ! When's Augusta Polchow coming back to school? Hurry up, gal, the Swee'peas are a-needin' you. Two very attractive young ladies, who continue to like McMain good, -although they attend Allen-are as vital to the P.T.C. now as water is to a duck. Mascot's timid smile, and Willy's soft Hi, girls, are missed if they are not taken twice a day. CP. S.-P.T.C. means Paddle-Tennis Court.D Aunt Agatha. Things We'd Like To See THE Senior A's have a Things We'd Like to See, so why can't we? Well, here goes nothing: Betty Goeddertz - without the third-place award for ping-pong. Jo Ann Eskine-standing inside the deck-tennis court while she's play- ing. Jeanne Lee Schroeder-not drop- ping the ring just over the net where we can't get it. Betty Jean Dell-not Slinging the deck-tennis ring. Shirley Anapole--throwing the ring to somebody who isn't one of her best friends. Ruby Cruell-not being the first one eluminated. Eleanor Scheffer-not being the first one on the court in the morning. Petronilla Voorhies-arriving ear- ly. Jane Whiteside--with her tresses arranged before coming to school. The Swee'peas-not being clan- nish. Shirley Stevenson--not arriving to school with Swee-peas. QNot that we mind!J Bernadine Uhlmer-not always winning the elimination games in gym class. Betty Powell-arriving at school on her bike without knocking some- one down. Nancy Lee Chapman-not reaching for a ball she knows she can't get. Mildred Williamson-not playing so wonderfully well. Carol Bayer-getting the dance right. And in particular-we'd like to see -more girls on the campus in the morning.

Speeds Jenny Bell Germann,'4l I:'ditor's Note: Well, girls, this is it: our last column . . . yes, The last Round Up. I hope you've enjoyed reading the Sports section as much as I have enjoyed writing it. If you have, may I remind you that Aunt A atha, and Asafronia Appleby, the Chieig Snooper, and even our old friend the Campus Ob- server will still be around next year, as they have been around sinee Echoes was first published. In fact, we hope these names will remain synonymous with our magazine for a very long time. Before leaving you however, we make a few predictions, since Editors, it seems, love to do so. There will be more out- standing athletes to interview at gradua- tion time, more and even better tourna- ments to be reported on. Perhaps, you'll 2010? reading more about the P.T.C. and the Swee'peas . . . for surely there will be more gym students to emulate those splendid athletes who have gone before them. Finally, good luck to my sue- ressor! May you love your job as I did, Iennie Bell. A Typical Morning On the P. T. C. THE sun is shining brightly-it is a beauteous Spring morning. Lily Mae Giesemann and Eleanor Schef- fer burst into view, fonto the P.T.C.J clutching a deck-tennis ring. Soon they are joined in their game by Betty Jean Dell, Shirley Anapole, Jo Ann Eskine, and, a little later, by Ruby Cruell. Now they play elimination, making up their own rules, and putting their own friends out of the game. Soon the Swee'- peas and their Mascot decide to play, too, so naturally this creates a panic. There is the noise of players clamor- ing for a ball, the on-lookers oblivi- ous of a game CU going on, but chattering to themselves. Perhaps they are admiring our tennis form . . . perhaps! When the first bell rings fthe familiar warning bellj there's shouting- Oh, I have to buy lunch-checks, . . . I have to go to my locker. Some of the girls re- main, playing desperately to escape taking in the ring. Here comes, now, the second bell-and everyone grabs books and starts up-stairs-one un- lucky person carrying the ring to the Joseph Basement store-box. If you don't believe us-como out and see for yourselves . . . why, you might even have the honor of being elected to carrying in the parapher- nalia. by One of Them E-C-H-,O-E-S Gym Gossip WE think Mildred Williamson should play with the Brooklyn Dodgers as pitcher. Maybe one of the professionals could connect with one of her fast balls. McMainians are good, but not THAT good. If you don't know what we're talking about, come out in class 8-6 and try your luck at batting. Jennie Bell Germann pulled a bon- er the other day! She sat with the Jades one whole period without know- ing the difference, and she an Ivory! fSolid Ivory, what?J Information, puh-leese! We would like to know how to keep our finger- nails long and glamorous after one strenuous game of deck-tennis. May- be Dottie LaPoutge can give us a tip. fStep up, Dottielj These Seniors who were always to be seen on the P.T.C. playing vol- ley-ball for something elsej have for- saken their old haunts and turned dignified. Oh, they still visit the Court, but they no longer play, they only stand up and talk-Senior style. lTch! Tchll Asafronia Appleby, Chief Snooper. HIC Pk ik Deck-Tennis Doubles WHEW, what a game! fAll right, then, two gamesl. First Aloha Paillet and Betty Jean Dell won a game from Jeanne Lee Schroeder and Margaret Pounds. But the latter soon caught up, then passed them to win by a close score. Can you imagine the excitement raging among the spectators when the tournament was stopped at 4 o'clock at game up, ten up? The next Monday afternoon found everyone at fever-pitchg but Johnny and Margar- et proved their mettle by winning 21-16. Congratulations! Now, d0n't you think deck-tennis is a sissy game-at least, not the way these girls play it. A drop-shot over the net, a high one to the back-court, a hard and fast one, stinging the hands of the reciever-THAT'S deck- tennis. Why don't you try it . . . or, are U a sissy? Campus Observer. Ping-Pong Singles HAIL to the new champ! After Shirley Suffrin left us fshe graduated, you knowl, a new successor was eagerly awaited. Now, Eola Prowell, a Senior A, has capa- bly stepped into Shirley's spacious shoes. After defeating Betty Goed- dertz in the semi-finals, she faced Rita Camarda, fresh from a victory over Doris Hebert. It was a close game, but Eola emerged triumph- antly. But another battle has to be re- corded. The two semi-finalists had to play for third place. Here Betty Goeddertz showed her skill by edg- ing out Doris, and winning third place. I guess you've seen the awardsg if not you can find them making the rounds of the building on their win- ners. Well, congratulations, girls! Keep up the good work! 'lv if if Hail -and Farewell THE Gym says farewell to- Rita Camarda Juanita Wild Jane Whiteside i Jane Brehm As always when graduation time rolls around, the gym loses some val- uable supportersg and, as always, this column gives you a resume of their athletic abilities. Rita Camarda has been outstand- ing in gym work, claiming such hon- ors as runner-up in ping-pong, vol- ley-ball varsity player, and she's a baseball tycoon. Her usually good form has marked her as an athlete worthy of being called outstanding. Another volley-ball varsity man , and a bowling champ is Juanita Wild. Everyone knows when Nita's around, not only because of her vocal enthus- iasm, but of her splendid playing, as well. Perhaps this is why she was elected manager of the Flower League. Jane Whiteside, better known as Wheaty, is a popular member of the Paddle Tennis Set , who claims the honor of being a Swee'pea land be- ing a Swee'pea is an honor, you knowb. Wheaty has been loyal to our gym for four years of inspec- tions, and marches, and dances fwhich are not liked as well as vol- ley-ballj. Forty-nine
