Senior riding has successful hunt team Milbank, Serrell, Stone, Vanderbilt, Agnew, Flinn. Each Wednesday riders from fourth grade to ninth came to school in their riding clothes, and impatiently waited for athletics. After lunch they eagerly piled into the car hoping that they would jump, and proceeded on the long ride to Kelsey's or Round Hill. Upon arriving, the tension mount- ed as Teddy assigned them to horses. This year there were two inter-school competi- tion shows. The senior team, for the first time in many years, succeeded in winning the hunt teams. The juniors, as usual, walked off with the cham- pionship. The riding captains who successfully led the teams throughout the year were Laura Vanderbilt, senior, and Pixie Serrell, junior. Girls borrow boys' skating rink Several times a week girls of the school bundled up in overcoats and galoshes and trudged to the rink. They tried to squeeze in a few precious minutes of skating before their hands grew so cold that they were forced to retreat to the club- house and a comforting, warming fire. While our staunch contemporaries dashed across the cold rink in a hardy game of red rover , the more graceful of us practiced figures. For all, it was a profitable year, although for many the most that Was accomplished was the acquisition of a mild case of frostbite.

Each class met Mrs. Maclay once a week in the 'cLittle Gym? Dressed in leotards, they jumped saw horses, did acro- batics on the bar, exercised on the mats, limboed under a tunic belt, and practiced dance patterns. The girls also learned to accomplish the difficult task of seating themselves gracefully and easily in a small car while wearing a tight skirt and carrying school books. The girls in the ninth grade especially looked forward to each Wednes- day when they learned how to trip lightly hither and thither for their parts as fairies in the oper- Sita. Except for a few reservations about leotards, all of the girls enjoyed Mrs. Maclayis classes and hope that she will come back next year to keep them sitting up straight and walking gracefully.
