yelled King Lear to signal a trick play. Miss Lurton found out that she can't escape Shakespeare even while playing basketball. This year Jewel was elected captain of the Blue team and Jean Taylor captain of the White. As they were strutting in their glory, Miss Feiker informed them that along with their titles went the dubious honor of closing the windows, picking up the pinnies, and putting away the balls after each practice. This season our games are scheduled to be played with Gunston Hall, Mt. Vernon, and BASKETBALL SQUAD 1947. BLUES Jewel Davis, Captain Maryalice Brattain Katharine Colvin Daphne Fay Barbara Greene Mary Johnston Margaret Mechlin Alice O'Keefe Elizabeth Steuart Marie Vallance BASKETBALL SQUAD 1942.

A highlight of our season came on Friday, the thirteenth of February, when the faculty met the girls in a fight-to-the-finish game.

Several drooping daisies lean against the walls and are told that they must have feeling to their fingertips. Others are firmly informed that before becoming Martha Gra- hams they must develop those undreamed-of muscles. Some who entered the class in hope of a rest hour lind that they must bend their backs and stretch disastrously to the melan- choly throb of a tom-tom. After the fall workout a surprising number courageously face another term. With a feverish glint in their eyes these trusties strain for the March recital. Spring comes and Miss Happer lets her pupils pick up their pieces. The funny thing is they love the stuff. M incl the iwsic lf1.e'femlofzliefif1g IU Iliff.
