--iv - was their spirited and determined attitude on the court. Whatever it was, our respect for their ability and sportsmanship grew with each game they played. We'll never forget Eleanor Ogden's enthusi- astic management of the volleyball tournament. Each noon she imitated a different radio com- mentator over our own mike in the dining room. The favorite was l1er V. B. M. F. E. rou- tine. Volleyball did to us. Each Tuesday and Thursday we arrived mean fine entertainment at the Casino to try our hardest for our hall but it was Kingscote and Red Corridor which stood the test and finally had to play off for Dee Grossman, .leanne Ward and Jean Huisking adjust their skates. . 1 - f . tl fflf 'B B , W' L' 1. , s N -if 'X .t ,seam - xl W .. , 'r,' I ' -9' r .1193 Q E ' f up 1 .

A. hoard met more frequently as winter approached, planning to combat that lull which appears synonymously with the first cold wave. Tournaments in every sport imagin- able were arranged and the enthusiasm of the council soon spread to each Courtier. We traveled l1on1e at Christmas time filled witl1 a spirit of cheer and gaiety.

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

The badminton tournament was exciting . . . der a blanket of white was our first thought upon our return. The snow was to last on into February so it was well that the A. A. had made inclusive plans to keep us busy during the win- ter. January was over before we realized it, with examinations and retreat our main con- cern, but February was truly A. A. month. This has been a wonderful year for winter sports in Lakewood. Picturesque Lake Carisaljo offered us many wonderful skating opportun- ities. We bundled up before gliding down the lake in the brisk cold of a February afternoon but rosy cheeks were a sure givaway of our time spent outdoors. We niet at the little house . . . to the spectators as well as these participants at the bank of the lake near the Club, and after an hour of skating, we appreciated the warm .welcome of our wonderful campus Club. Mrs. Cookis piping bot chocolate was our reward and it was certainly appreciated. Wl1ile we sipped hot chocolate, we played off the bridge tournament. JoAnn McCarthy and Barbara Doti were the final winners. Indoor tennis and badminton occupied many of our winter afternoons. We spent many delightful hours practicing for a11d participatl ing in these tournaments. The A. A. is responsible for the formation of a new club on campus-the Blazer Club. The highlight of the sports yenr- faculty versus seniors in volleyball. P.S. The faculty won. The seniors came as debs but soon got down to business.
