LM 26 -4- Q , THE QECHO S SCHOOL NEWS The Athletic banquet was held for the purpose of awarding letters to the- girls and boys on the basketball and swimming teams. The time was set for dinner at tive- thirty but guests did 11ot arrive until about six, and it was at least sling-thirty when the party of about fifty descended to the Do- mestic- Science room where sandwiches, salad, cake, chocolate and ice cream formed the luncheon. -Speeches were made, by the toastmaster, Mr. Vallance, ,honor guest, Mr. Sprague, Miss Daum, Mr. Bryan, and meinhers of the teams. After the awarding of letters every one Qexcept dish washersj adjourned to the upper hall, where dancing tinished the program for the rest of the enjoyable evening. All the letter men of 1920 organized a Varsity I, of which all letter men in the future will become mem- bers. Too bad for the girls, who won let- ters, but remember wc have the I. G. A. C. The Sunshine Club was started in Febru- ary. It was suggested by Mrs. Greene, who formerly lived in Indiana, where it originated. At the first meeting officers were elected. N-e'VVaT'a VVinn was elected presidentg Katherine Tobias, vice-presidentg Virginia Sullivan, secretary, and Jean Mc- Campbell, treasurer. Several committees were appointed-the Lookout and Flower committees, and the Social and Entertain- ment committees. Meetings were held af- ter school every two weeks on Monday. At these meeting the girls told what had been done through the club for thepoor families and for the sick pupils of the school. Often they had picture shows for their entertainment. The girls pay no dues, so to secure the money- to run the club they have had ca11dy sales in the hall. Their crowning social affair was the box social given June 3. The seventh grade was 'very fortunate in having Mr. S. A. Roach, Secretary of the Ohio Bankers' Association, speak to them May 19 on Money and Banking. The ad- dress was most profitable and interesting. Idanthea Moffat, a former pupil of In- dianola, well remembered for her fine scholarship, graduates June 28 from the Horace Mann High School, New York City. 'Were she yet with us in regular work sh-e would register as a 9-A, but out- side credits gained while yet a 7-A entitled her to High School entrance. We are proud to enroll her-one who says that Indianola made her success possible. IN THE SPRING . By a composite author-Mrs. Bruce's 4-A's Have you ever picked sweettviolets in the Spring? Ever gathered them in bunches in the Spring? VVhen the birds' songs are so merry, ' Though the bushes have no berry, Oh each flower's a little fairy! In the Spring. Have you ever gone a fishing in the Spring? Ever caught the pretty pickerel in the Spring? 'When the bees are faintly humming, Saucy peckers loudly drumming, ' A For the summer days are comin After Spring. '- gf - Z7 i ti sa ' sta we iw Gm : 4 ? l I 5 gy' 5 .5 l dfixig 'f dfik i I

. THE ECHO , . .25 I. G. A. C. The membership of the I. G. A. C. has been increased to twenty-nine members fol- lowing a rough and formal initiation. We have gone on several hikes, had parties and a line time in the club all year. The 9-A's greatly regret having to leave this newly organized affair and hope it will grow to include more members. The Gymnasium Exhibition was held Saturday, May 22, and was a great success. All who did not witness the sight missed a fine thing. Calisthenics, Indian club drills, dances, races and games were the attrac- tion. It took a lotiof time and trouble on the part of Miss Daum and special students, but the success of the affair and the money for the athletic fund more than payed us for our work. Nearly every intermediate and some elementary girls took part in it. So here's to Miss Daum who made all these sports possible, taught us the value of health, companionship, and everything elserthat goes to make a regular girl. VVe are all proud of her and of the results. May she long remain at Indianola-and be able to exhibit more such line athletic 9-A classes. INDIANOLA GIRLS' SWIMMING , TEAM Every one now knows that the swimming championship also came to the Indianola Girls. Vile were so many points ahead that the exact number is not known. However, that matters not as long as the placket awarded in this branch of athletics hangs in our own school. As usual, in the last meet we won every event, of which there were three. Mary Edith Thomson won the plunge for distance, Jean Worthington the 60-yard back stroke, NeWaTa VVinn, Lelia McDerrmot, Lil-lian Paul and Margaret Laird the 80-yard relay. . The swimming and basket ball teams wish the same luck to the 1921 teams as they themselves .'had, and hope that they too can proudly display 'iI's and plackets. Waiter, what have you to eat?
