Hockey Harpeth Hall is proud to be one of the few southern preparatory schools to have a varsity hockey team. Practicing three times a week, the team members put many hours of hard work into perfecting their game. Because of the scarcity of southern teams, the club found that the most difficult aspect of hockey was finding other teams to play! Nonetheless, the club held scrimmages with the Vanderbilt hockey team several times and also travelled to Louisville, Kentucky, where members played Presentation Academy and Sacred Heart. Under the leadership of their coach Mrs. Johnson, the team has had an exciting year; Harpeth Hall is proud of its hockey team ' s efforts and achievements. £ S $

Soccer Although other traditional sports have long been popular at Harpeth Hall, soccer, a relatively new sport for girls, is rapidly gaining prestige. The popularity of soccer is most evident in the Middle School. This year the team ' s regular practices and determination have again led them to a winning season. Although the practices were often strenuous, their coach, K.C. Weiner, kept the team going. Going into the tournament, Harpeth Hall had lost only two games: one to Ezell Harding and the other to Ensworh. The girls on the team consider Ensworth School their stiffest competition because it has won the tournament every year. This year, Harpeth Hall held the finals of the tournament on Saturday, November 18. Though the victory went to Ensworth, Harpeth Hall is proud not only of the team ' s terrific showing in the tournament, but also of its all-tournament players Heidi Wallace and Gigi Smith. ♦ ' m - - ' -

Fall Art Exhibits Harpeth Hall was privileged to have hosted three impressive and varied art shows first semester in the Mamie Sheridan Gallery. The program began in September with a contribution of work from Harpeth Hall alumnae ranging in media from charcoal and oil pieces to fabric and stitchery designs. This display allowed students at Harpeth Hall to share in and be introduced to the talent and art interests pursued by their forerunners— whether they be amateurs who dabble in the field or established and growing professionals. Next, the renowned artist Arthur Orr exposed Harpeth Hall to a very unique expression of emotion through the visual art of his one-man show. The fortified energy and color of his geometric designs presented upon sculptured canvases presented a challenging experience for visitors in the gallery. With a contrasting yet equally impressive style, Brigitte Porter followed Orr ' s presentation with an extensive collection of both realistic and illusionistic watercolor. Mrs. Porter ' s landscape and nature studies communicated her dedication to the world of art which she expressed during her assembly program. The enthusiasm manifest in all three of this season ' s shows is the type of artistic awareness Harpeth Hall wishes to encourage in its students throughout the year by its displays in the Marnie Sheridan Gallery.
