Some idle moments on our beautiful lake. Laughlin, Tillie Dcstefano, Dot SCllCllCfIllHI1ll, Pat Carroll and Adele Bullock. On March 16th we all gathered around the pool in the Casino and participated in another Race Day. Relay races, diving contests, swim- ming events for form and speed were included in the program. Wfith the approach of spring, the A. A. council announced tournaments in ping pong and archery. We became acquainted with less well known sports, such as squash and deck tennis eagerly departed for the golf course to attend lessons in this very popular sport. Cour- tiers one and all turned to the outdoors for recreation and relaxation. To the A. A. spring meant softball, and in April, pactice began. Miss Carville gives instruction on placing the ball. Again we had a tournament and again we trudged frequently and eagerly to the Casino to score for our team. Spring very naturally brought with it out- door tennis. Joan lskyan's speed and skill on the court won for her the tennis crown. The annual aquacade was one of the love- liest presentations of the A. A. this year. The faculty, student body and guests gathered around the edge of the pool to enjoy the spec- tacle of aquahelles weaving intricate and graceful patterns precisely timed to appropriate music. The most unique scene was a novelty dance done with the aid of fluorescent proper- ties to the rhythm of '4The Dark Town Struttcrs Ball. It was presented by members of the A bull's eye . . - Janet Rush serves while Jeanne Ward looks on. did it! 223 . . . and this is the way they

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.
