omorrowi Keller poriamalwlzip As any gym enthusiast will verify, the lmmaculata is literally a haven for sports-minded maidens. Basketball, the favorite game. provides an opportunity for girls to demonstrate their speed, skill and accuracy under pressure. The intra-mural games are im- portant events at which spectator-filled bleachers cheer long and loyally for their favorite teams. Students are justly proud of the exciting performances of the All-Star basketball teams-the cream of the crop. Speaking of excitement, volleyball holds the number two spot for thrills because it brings many interesting afternoons of good fun for its ardent followers. An All-Star team also dominates the volleyball season. Girls spend many days of arduous practice getting in shape for the stiff competition which crowds the scene of inter-division games. When spring comes with its balmy breezes, all eyes turn campus- ward for a relaxing game of baseball. Surprised spectators often comment that the girls are almost as good as boys on the dia- mond and participators themselves freely admit that a ball plus a bat always adds up to either a rousing game of the great American sport or a gym class that scores perfect. Not only are these ball games good exercise and healthful recre- ation, but they aid in molding young characters, thus developing good citizens who have a strong sense of justice and the ability to lose with a smile.
