'-x The acquabelles at rest Part of the triumphant hockey team. Three cheers for the freshmen! campfire on the golf course with plenty of nweeniesv, cokes, and apples, and songs. We sat around the fire and to the strains of 'iln the Moonlightn, Pals and all our other favorites recalled our fondest memories of college life and looked forward to a year which has sur- passed our greatest expectations. Horseback riding was by far the most popu- lar sport on campus in the fall. Through bridle paths strewn with multi-colored leaves, we traveled to that now famous ring located at the far end of the hockey field. Here we learned to post while the more advanced riders spent many wonderful hours preparing themselves even then for the first riding show to be held at the Court in recent years. 218 . . . here we see them watching an intriguing formation . . . Cycling to town is faster and much more fun! While some of us rode, others played in the field hockey tournament, the first event on the sports program to be played off. On beautiful, clear days the green grass shone brightly in the sun as the different classes participated in this tournament. The freshmen impressed the up- perclassmen by winning with ease. As we raced down the field to score for our team, our thoughts raced ahead to that Hallowe en party scheduled for October 31st in the Campus Club. The A. A. council created a festive, spooky air about the Club and added to the merrinlent of tl1e occasion by awarding a prize for the best costume. Mimi Eagan, garbed as a typical winter vacationer, copped the prize. and here we watch them prepare to form the figure

Lucky students who earned the privilege of wearing hlnzers during their senior year. Jean Huisking, Margee Foley, Chris Sullivan, Rita Ryan and Lois Driscoll pause for the intramural this year, and decided to award emblems, jerseys, and blazers as an added in- centive. Students receive points for competing in or cooperating at tournaments or other sports events. Five points are awarded to individual members of each participating team. The win- ning team receives te11 additional points while the second place team earns five extra points. Two hundred and fifty points entitle one to an emblem, while six hundred points are required for a blazer. Jerseys are awarded to the most active members of the Aquatic Club. The freshman class 'is the first to be held strictly to the new point system. Averages for past activities are considered in making awards to the upperclassmen. Scarcely had we unpacked our bulging trunks when JoAnn McCarthy invited us to the Polly Wog Ekoc, a term which caused us much confusion. No hint was available as to what the forthcoming fest would consist of, but it turned out to be an event which will long be tucked in with our very pleasant recollections of Court life. When we reached the Casino, we found Miss Blake awarding blazers and jerseys to thoseiseniors who had secured sufficent points during the previous years. The coveted white blazers, awarded to eighteen girls, were bound in rich blue and adorned with blue and gold G.C. C. seals. This was followed by an outdoor 0ill'l'l6l'8.

The volleyball teams gave some Bowling comes easy to such skilled players as Regi Fedor and Margee Foley . . . The pool was the site of an inter-class swim- ming meet sponsored by the A. A. for the benc- fit of the N. F. C. C. S, student relief drive. Each class, represented by its ablest mermaids, took part in relay races, diving contests and water games. The A. A. further contributed to this Worthy fund by arranging a challenge tennis match between Miss Carville and Mr. Burke. On a clear, brisk October day, we all gathered around the outdoor tennis court to observe an exciting match which ended in a 6-6 tie. Lou Tufano, Mary Sullivan and other cheerleaders added comedy to the event with their mimicry on bicycles and their amusing costumes. . . but Eleanor Ogden encourages them to make still' more strikes. The newly renovated alleys may have helped Lo-e Driscoll, Mary Ellen O'Keeffe and Margee Foley add up those high bowling scores. Their average during the tournament was 105. Re- member how we were 'Gpin boysv for them while they played off for the championship? We'll always remember the fun we had, if not playing, at least cheering on the sidelines at the basketball tournament. Dot Scheur- mann, the manager of these games, succeeded in keeping us busy many afternoons in Novem- bed. Wfe traveled back and forth to the Casino time and again practicing and playing but it was again the youngest members of the college who took the championship. Their easy access to the gym may account for this, or perhaps it fine exhibitions. 219 Here a team takes time out after gaining a victory. l the net. This one will surely go over
