BUWLING As the big ball goes whirling down the maples, the lustv voices of the femmes ring out with Strike or Gutter-ball. Vieing with her previous record, each girl is determined to improve her game. At the beginning of each line. she approaches the foul line with a little more finesse. For the most part scores have remained consistently high among this group of amateurs, and the advantages to the participants have been legion. Certainly it is one of the high school sports that has come to stay. l lliS'l' ALIACY: M. 'l'lll'Ilt'l', ll. Klvllllxl, U, llivll. li, filly, SIGPONIJ Al.l.I'IY: ll. Katy.

GULF Veterans of the greens were amazed, no end. last fall when the femmes with their agile grace and form made their initial appearance on the links. However, con- sternation on the part of the seasoned golfers and their urge to seek cover at the call of the soprano fore', soon passed as the girls, drives became more professional. Complaints of muscular fatigue, sore feet, and weighty bags, though common during the beginning weeks, soon gave way to the desire to excel in this satisfying sport. Golf was enthusiastically received and no doubt will be perpetuated as a per- manent girls' activity. SlCA'I'l'1l1: M. Frost, li. Kziv, S. lllomiu-ss. M, XYzlll:lm'e. S. .I+-nsvu. IP. Tillnmzinn.

VBLLEYBALL As th is returned by the opposing team, a spectator gazes in wonder at the skill displayed by these athletic girls. The smack of the ball resounds just as heartily as it does when our volley ball champs of the stronger sex struggle valiantly for a victory. The girls tackle a game with all the fervor and in- terest displayed in boys' games. FIRST RUVV: ld. ALGILIIIZUI, L. Lippert, li. Stratton, .l. Wheeler, ld. Richards, A. Carroll. SICUONII ROVV: J.

GIRLS' BASKETBALL e ball crosses thc net and ' The shrill fginning of another game, and the lithe bodies of twelve girls move in machine-like coordination about the floor. Of all sports, basket ball is these girls' first love,', although it is the most vigorous of girls' games. Skill in che game is developed only through painstaking effort, necessitating long hours of vigorous practice. Special attention is given to the technique of short, rapid passing, free throwing, and floor work. Too, an elaborate system of signals plays an imoortant part in the LAICFT ' Y game.

She acquires poise and self-reliance, and a greater interest in people and things is aroused. These are attributes, not only of soft ball but also of the other activities of a widely diversified program of girls' athletics. I4'IIiS'l' RUVV: .I. llzllziel, IG. Iieilnmn, M. 'l'ul'ner, G.

SENIUR September 30 Dear B-, It seems funny starting without you this year, and it will be worse graduating without you. The freshmen registered in August, and are they ever a puny looking outfit. The hot weather we were supposed to get last summer we're getting now, and it's hard to settle down. The first week of school was just grand-nothing doing in any of the classes. We had our first pep meeting on the 13th. It seemed good to be yelling for the Bulldogs again. On the 16th we had a safety program, and 'the next day the freshmen and sophomores played Northbrook. They beat us, 7 to 0. The juniors have had their play tryouts. Lipka and Stickels got the leads. No chance for a romance there. She still can't see anyone but jim. Last Friday night we played Warren and actually beat them, 7 to 0. There hasn't been much else going on this month except Bill Zeigler's party for the football boys. Marge S. and Bill Schmidt are still going strong. It looks serious, and Jim and Florence manage to keep the old spark burning. I don't see how they do it. I couldn't stand a guy that long. Write and tell me how you like the new school. I'll bet you wish you were back in dear old Grunt, don't you? Love, B...- OCt0l'Jer 29, 1940 Dearest- Well, here another month has passed, and I'm just finding time to write. I've been so terribly busy that I haven't had much time for any correspondence, but I'll try to make up for it now. I suppose I'd better start with school. The first of 'the month a man came out with a lor of statistics and gave an illustrated lecture on temperance. It was very interesting, I suppose, but I must have been sleepy, because I could hardly keep awake. Oh well, the junior play, Wild Oranges, rather made up for it. Marcella was ex- cellent. She really out-shone everyone else. When Bruce fyou know him, don't you? The fellow that goes with Mary jane Turnerj kissed La Verne, the kids on the front row let out a howl, but it didn't bother Bruce. We have a good football team. They can really fight if they want to. We played a very good game on the 26th against Barrington. You should have seen Mae. Was he hot! Poor Gerstein stumbled and fell, and the look on Florence's face was something to behold. One thing to their credit, they aren't always fighting like Bob and Doris, at least not so publicly. There was a teachers' meeting at Evanston on the 21st, so there was no school. Was I glad! I went to Chicago and had a grand time. You remember Miss Johnson, don't you? Well, she and Sally Ann went to a Home Ee. convention in Springfield this month. Since then every time Sally sees Miss J. she has to think twice. Otherwise shelll burst out with Hi Johnny. October 16 was army registration day and no school. We even gave up our studies for the army. Patriotic, eh? Hunting season opened on the same day, so that gave us something to do. I went out the first day with the gang and bagged two beautiful ducks for myself. Was I proud! The 19th was homecoming-a nice game even if we did lose. Funny, isn't it? Homecoming you always lose. Remember the year we sat in the rain and watched the homecoming game? What I enjoyed most was the alumni dance. Chuck and Peggy have been hitting it off strong since then. The music department gave the Halloween party. It was a rather noisy affair, but it went off fairly well. Mrs. Kobberup and Miss johnson came all dressed up,
