4 11 GIRLS' SPORTS A program of sports, sufficiently varied and attractive to capture the fancy of each and everyone of us, made the year 1941-1942 thoroughly lively in things athletic. We had our choice of participating in either volley ball, field hockey, dodge ball, basketball, tennis, badminton, or soft ball. Intramural competition was keen in all these activities, particularly so in basketball, with the senior team emerging as the ultimate victors. We have our Physical Education instructor, Miss McDonald to thank for a most enjoyable year in sports. Her untiring efforts in our behalf merit our sincerest gratitude. That we do appreciate all she has done for us, and indeed grateful to her should be ap- parent to all who read these lines.

BASEBALL Coach ..,... ...... A rtliur C. Barber Captain ,... ....... . .. .,..,........ ...,... .,....,.. ,..... ...,. B e r n ard McGarry, '42 This fifth year of interscholastic baseball competition finds the team faced with a drastically reduced schedule. The present war has forced many of our traditional oppo- nents to forego their annual games with us because of their inability to obtain adequate means of transportation. Cancellations have been many and discouraging. However, the schedule as finally decided upon is a representative one. Teams, always in the forefront of the scholastic baseball world, are to be played, and the competition is bound to be keen. Our prospects were none too bright when Coach Barber called the squad together for its first practice. There were but two returning varsity men from last year's team. His task was a difficult one for he had to place inexperienced players in key positions. However, constant practice and intra-club games have served to smooth out the rough edges, and we are confident the team will give a very excellent account of itself. We offer both the squad and Coach Barber our sincere wishes for success as che campaign opens. The opportunity of bettering the record of previous years is indeed bright. May this happy result be their good fortune.
