:THE STYL S Qirls Gymnasium Work THE girls' gymnasium classes have made an especial point, during the past year, of departing from old traditional lines of formal calisthenics. Games, stunts, and apparatus work have been featured. Thus, not only has the necessary physical instruction been prof vided for, but opportunity for enjoyment, as well. It is during the free play periods that the girls find most pleasure. Then, with all the apparatus-ropes, ladders, rings, horse and buck-at their disposal each one is allowed, under supervision, to follow her individual preference. On November twentyfsecond, according to the yearly custom, the freshmen and sophof mores, under the direction of Miss Stoehr, contributed an assembly program which ref ceived much favorable comment. Though it consisted mainly of routine work, its outstand- ing numbers were a clown dance, specializing tumbling and stunts, and a unique chair drill, which combined posture work and staccato dance steps. Girls Qlthletics THE Fall tennis tournament for the girls got underway early in September, under the supervision of Miss Clark. This tournaf ment, being an interfroom affair furnished strong opposition between the various rooms. Miss Cohen, of Room 226 won the laurels of the singles, while the Misses Orton and Wes- son led in the doubles play. The brilliant play of the Misses Hoffman, Quinn, Meyer, and Card in the singles, and the Misses Hayes and Vitka in the doubles was also worthy of note. As a result of Miss Cohen's stellar playing, she will represent Harding in the state tourna' ment at Arnolds' College of Hygiene and Physical Education sometime in the near fu' ture. Hockey and soccer were the next sports that furnished activity for inter gym class com' petition. Because of lack of playing facilities, these games are not as extensively played as the others, but every night that the field was available the girls would be out playing until the cold weather ceased all outfdoor sports for them. Under the direction of Miss Clark and Miss Stoehr, the interfroom basketball league began in january. Room 226 led the Senior rooms, Room 220 led the Junior rooms, but only after a hard battle with Room 225 g and Rooms 132 and 217 led the Sophomore and Freshmen rooms respectively. As yet the championship game for the supremacy of the interfroom league has not been played. Immediately after the conclusion of the interfroom games, the interfclass league opened its series. The juniors and Seniors then played two hard fought I 79 games for the championship, with the result that the Seniors were crowned champions. The members of these teams had been selected by Miss Clark who had been carefully watch' ing for good material throughout the season. The Senior team consisted of the Misses Fow- ler, Doyle, Brownell, Laurie, Kearney, Luthy, Kriss, and Romano, while the Misses Erhardt, Nash, White, McNiff, Cherniess, Kekac, Still' ings, Ryan, McGuire, and Plitt made up the junior team. Miss Clark, Miss Stoehr, and Miss Betty Doyle, track manager, have been making plans for a bigger and better track meet to be held May 22. Last spring the Juniors came out first, the Sophs second, the Freshmenthird, and the Seniors last. The meet is generally opened by a march of the four classes, and then each class renders their various songs and cheers. Other features of the meet will be the 75 yard dash, the jumpfrope, walking, obstacle, sack, and potato races, the baseball and basketball throws, and the hockey, baseball, volley ball, and soccer games between the various classes. Each class chooses class colors and a captain. The Seniors have chosen Miss Laurie to lead their blue and gold, the juniors led by Miss Erhardt will flaunt the purple and gold, while Miss Swaller will be leading the red and gold of the Sophomoresg and Miss Zier will attempt to lead the green and the gold of the Fresh' men to victory. Spring tennis practice will end up the year for the girls, preparing them for the annual fall tennis tournament.
