-.fz- ' I I ' f SONAH-27 ,. lc BASKETBALL Basketball holds second place in the affections of the students who are athletically inclined, in the opinion of the majority of the student group. Although it plays hard on the mental and physical forces of the player, it is well supported by the different student groups, for while it is strenuous, there is more drawing power to a finished game for the average enthusiast than many other indoor games and sports. Each class was represented by its own organized team, making competitive games worth while. In 1927, there being the complete class quota, a tournament was arranged. The graduating class won the Hrst game of a hard fought series from the Freshmen, with a close score. With the thoughts of oncoming state boards, and the more imminent graduation, the deciding game was not played off.

ll- SONAH-27 I WC NATURAL DANCING Natural Dancing is another of the many elective courses offered in Physical Education, under the leadership of Miss Marian Bland. The graceful rhythmic motion of these classic dances is thought to cultivate grace and poise, which, coupled with the speed and endurance gained by strenuous physical activities such as swimming and basketball, would make a well balanced physical regime. Since the Henry Ford Hospital School of Nursing and Hygiene aims to stress the cultural and aesthetic, as well as the essential knowledge necessary to health and education, this course was designed especially as a cultural elective. One of the interesting features of the course was the fact that the girls selected their own color schemes in soft pastels, and made their own costumes. The class has afforded much pleasure to the school and its friends by giving several dainty demonstration dances at public gatherings. Some of these were: The Festa di Primavera, where the Balloon Dancewas a very popular feature, participated in by Iva Robison, Ethel Hoye and Audrey Horn. The Bear Dance was executed by Miss Bland and Julia Milne. Other featured dances were, Old King Cole, personified by Grace Highg Little Miss Muffett, and Jacksfinfthe'Box. Ethel Hoye and Florence Argue have given several excellent duo dances at different school entertainments. The group shown below is, left to right: Umbaugli, Louise, Stillman, Margaretg Euler, Aluinag Robison, Ivag Wilsovi, Lconag McGarth,' Gertrude, Godfred, Guiterma. Tri of 125

ll ' SONAH-27 I NC VOLLEY BALL Volley Ball is an interesting sport, though not so strenuous as Basketball or Swim' ming. Like Basketball, a tournament was played out among the class teams, and although the graduating class lost the championship, they showed up well in the competition, and made life interesting for the Freshmen who won the title of champions for the season. Although this game appears very simple, it was made very lively throughout the tournament with the well balanced teams of the school. Volley Ball was one of the many elective courses offered in Physical Education, and many of the girls showed their enjoyment of the game by spending winter evenings in this pleasant recreation. It was from these evenings of practice and the capable supervision of Miss Bland, that the skilled enthusiasts were formed into competitive class teams. The enthusiasm shown in the tournament depicted the interest of the school for this popular sport. Madeline Hendershot, as captain, piloted the graduating class team through its second successful season. The graduating class team, are, left to right, standing: Kurtz, Mary, LeBlanc, Fabiolag Drohn, Gladys, Solem, Helen, Robison, Iva, Kugel, Mabel, Godfred, Guitenna, Steinaway, Margzcerite, Hendersliot, Madeline, Captain, Mick, Lavesta, Nevin, Teresa, Pierce, Pearl, Pratt, Lucille, Wells, Dorcas, Wilson, Leona, Nagel, Clara.
