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.

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 .

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.

An honorary society and still in its formative stage, the club features two annual events, initiation of new members in the fall and a party in the spring at which the president passes his gavel on to his successor. When the thaw finally did come, we regret- ted that there would be no more ice skating, but in the warmer weather fand even on many cold morningsj we could ride and so we were eonsoled. Again practice began for that fast ap- proaching riding show. March 2nd was a red letter day for the A. A. On that afternoon, the faculty volleyball team defeated the senior class volleyball team 26-21. The entire student body turned out for this event and enjoyed it completely. The faculty, Rita Mnstalone and Lou Tufuno make a winning team disguised as '4Dead End Kidsl' arrived at the Casino first, eager to begin the game and defeat their opponents. Miss Blake and Miss Felitti, their cheerleaders, led the enthusiastic on- lookers, as Miss Carville placed her team in position. The seniors, dressed in their best regalia for this event, finally arrived and, upon viewing their opponents, quickly changed into their sports clothes and the game began. The faculty kept a secure lead throughout the en- tire game. The serenade rendered by the musically inclined faculty members was one of the amusing highlights of the event. The entire game was a tribute to their skill and sports- manship. It was in March, too, that the A. A. awarded blazers to seven more Court sports: .loan Delany QBJ, Kathleen Kelley, Audrey Mc- Shuffleboard time in full swing. 222 A badminton team prepares to serve a winner. Mary Ann McHugh tees off
