Athletic Association Encourages Sporfmonship In cooperation with the nation-wide program of physical fitness, Immaculata has launched an extensive campaign to urge student participation in an ever-in- creasing range of activities. Included on the calendar of events are team sports as well as opportunities for the individual skater, bowler, swimmer, or equestrienne. In sponsoring intramurals and entering competition with other schools, players acquire an intensive feeling of loyalty toward their school and a sense of responsi- bility toward themselves and their classmates. Such ac- tivities build a spirit of cooperation between students and teachers. The Athletic Association strives to in- still a sense of sportsmanship in each girl while develop- ing additional skill in the sphere of physical health and discipline. Of special help to the IAA are scorekeepers Nial O'Melia and Bernadette van Houten who record another goal as IHS's score mounts.
