Alice Wiess. Arleen Moore. Genevie Dong, Sibyl Bennett, Dorothy Coe. Ida Reed. Isabell Glasson. Betty Horn. Arlene Hazelwood. Gene Miller and Mildred Downing. A Letterwoman's club was also formed this year. Officers were Ida Reed, president; Dorothy Coe. vice president; Naedean Wiles, manager; and Gene Miller, treasurer. The four girls have purchased sweaters with two stripes. Other girls initiated into the club were girls on the two teams. An increase in mem- bership will enable the club to be more active next year.
