Some attributed this innovation to lack of interest in the national pastime but the phenomenal popularity which the thin-clads have attained in the last two years offers a more satisfactory explanation. In the spring of 1926 track made an unauspicious debut. being introduced as an inter-class sport. From the outset, a few students evinced a lively interest in this new activity but the older sports were so firmly enthroned in the hearts of the majority that it seemed doomed to languish and die. However the fol- lowing year a small group of enthusiasts organized a cross-country team. This was coached by LeRoy Wint, who made athletic history at Redeemer not so long ago. At the Ypsilanti meet our distance runners defeated many bigger and better equipped teams, to finish in third place. By this triumph many new adherents were won over to the cinder path. Again in 1928 the cross-country team competed at Ypsilanti. and not only did our runners end well up among the leaders-they earned 5th place-but Marcellus Barlage ran away with the field to gain first place by a comfortable margin, clipping several seconds off the state record. With this second conquest even the most rabid baseball fans cap- itulated, and it was decided to discontinue baseball and make track a major sport. Perhaps one is inclined to praise the thinclads too extravagantly but con- sidering their achievements there seems to be greater danger of being too con- servative. Certainly. if their past performances furnish any criterion, Redeemer will extend her supremacy to this new Held. Silning: J. Lyons. M. Bai-lags, J. Starts. G. Livu-noise, E. Carter, H. Beckford, L.

This organization includes all those girls who have par- ticipated in any varsity game during the past sea- son. The club is representative of the high school for girls from every class comprise the member- ship. The insignia R which was presented to each-member, is a fitting reward for the loyalty and Hdelity which every girl has shown to the team. The countless hours spent in hard practice and the indomitable spirit which permeated the team account for much of the success attained dur- M- OUEU-ETTE' ing the season. It was only because each player was imbued with a cooperative and zealous spirit that it was possible for Redeemer to be represented on the court by a team of very high calibre. -Four seniors, Virginia Hamilton, Catherine Holihan, Mary Snyder and Annabel Bruce, Student Manager, will be deprived of their membership in the club by graduation. With the exit of these members there still is plenty of ex- cellent material left for future teams. The girls who remain at Redeemer will assuredly do all in their power to retain the reputation which they have already receivedand by their prowess in athletics be a credit to their Alma Mater. Whatever success is attained in the future athletic world of Redeemer will be partly due to the influence of the Monogram Club. New members will be urged to strive for the honors of this school by the vision of a purple R crowning the peak of their efforts. Old members, the Alumnae will be invisibly drawn back to the campus, the gymnasium and the games by the sight of this monogram among other school-day treasures.
