are My Qfgn lghgairal iihuratiun fur :Quang mumrn Hedding College has always felt the importance and necessity of having a de- partment of Physical Culture for Women, and this year the gymnasium work was made a requirement for all Freshmen and Sophomore girls. Early in the year our Director, Miss Alden, resigned and Ruth Peterson, one of our Senior girls, filled the position for the rest of the year. A great deal of gratitude and praise is due Miss Peterson for her splendid work. During the first regular gymnasium period the work consisted of various exercises, such as calisthenics and corrective work, also Indian Club swinging. Marching and folk dancing had their place on the gymnasium floor too. An attempt was made to work in games which would be beneficial in giving training for accuracy, speed and skill. The second regular period was given over to basket ball practice and the en- thusiasm began to run so high that soon four teams were organized. The lineup on the Junior team was as follows: Evelyn Hill as captain and play- ing the position of forward, Freda Abdill as center, and Florence John and Ruth Auld as guards. The team work of the Juniors was noticeably good. The Sophomores presented a strong team composed of Helen Prickett for cen- ter, Ruth McMillan and Bess Thayer for forwards, Beulah Darling and Ruth Young, the captain, for guards. This team probably had a little advantage over the others due to the fact that three of its members had played together during the previous Year. The Freshmen, too, presented a very strong team. Cora Stephens, the captain, was a shining light in the position of forward, and Ruth Moore, also playing forward, was a close second. Ruth Hooker played center, and Ruth Darling and Ada Young were guards. The Academy classes united their players into one team. Amelia Barnes was elected captain and held down the position of center very admirably. Florence YVeb- ber played forward, and Marie Schwerer and Mildred McCoy were the guards. The season started with a great deal of pep and after a few weeks of practice, the girls started on their class tournament. The schedule was so arranged that every team played three games, meeting each team once. The games were well attended by the student body and class spirit ran high. The teams were very much on a par. as each won two games and lost one. But a new element entered in this year in addition to the usual class rivalry, and that was the desire of each player to win a letter. Hed- ding girls had never before had the privilege of working for letters. but this year the Committee of Athletic Control was so kind as to allow the ten best players to be hon- ored in this way. Miss VVhittaker, Dean VVhitted, and Coach Kirby acted as judges and kept careful records of each game and at the close fo the tournament announced their decision. The ten letter girls are Cora Stephens, Ruth Moore. Evelyn Hill. and Bess Thayer-Forwards, Amelia Barnes and Ruth Hooker-Centers, Ruth Darling. Flor- ence John, Marie Schwerer, and Ruth Young-Guards. As the Orange goes to press, the tennis season has not really commenced as yet, but a great deal of enthusiasm is being shown by the girls of the school for this sport. An attempt will be made to arrange some sort of inter-class tournament among the girls this spring. , -Y,, ,.
