X' 0 'C --l . vs 43 T 0 S' a?,.s,ffW ' 3 'S' sf -5 ' W All ,M Five years ago, when the Hermes was first published, only a few pages were devoted to Girls' Sports, but each year they take more and more space, and last year they occupied six pages. Years ago, girls had little or no part in High School Athletics, but the girl of today has the same chance as the boy to take part in any branch of Athletics. In the past three or four years, Girls' Athletics have advanced by leaps and bounds and we hope in the next few years, they will advance even more. At present, girls take part in basketball, baseball, tennis and volley ball. They swim, play golf, do acrobatic .stunts, bowl, and even play hockey. They also are taking an interest in Track VVork. What a difference there is between the girl of today and the maiden of twenty years ago! Unhampered by long dresses, long hair and foolish customs, she strides through life with her head high, and occupies a place equal to that of the boy. , -Isabella Avzdersonv. 129
