Thej C of 1937 W. A. A. CFFICERS One of the most active organizations of tl. I. C. is the XV. A. A., and these tive women are its mainstay. These, with the cooperation of the members, are respon- sible for the introduction of badminton and the sport nights which both girls and boys, young and old, enjoyed so much. Do Chalstrom is president, and it was her splendid leadership that gave the club so much pep and enthusiasm. Amiable Mary Ellen Seamans is the club's vice-president and chief adviser. If you want something original and dif- ferent, ask Mary Ellen, for she is always willing. For that added touch of femi- ninity or just that bit of color, petite Phyllis Anderson is always called on, as she is the club secretary and artist. The girl who goes out for every sport and excels in all of them is Yirginia Lindblad, who is the head of sports. Mrs. Kirby needs no introduction, for she is well known in J. -I. C. and is held dearly in the hearts of all collegians. These otihcers served as the central committee for most of the important events of the XY. A. A. year. Important projects, besides regular sports activities, were the fall Harvest Moon dance. specialty numbers in the inter-class meet. tirst co-educational sports night, Canine Sports Day. and the annual Mother and llaughter lianquet. For harder workers, better planners and organizers you will have to go far. To these tive we do homage, for they made the year '36 and '37 a grand success for the XY. A. AX.

BASKETBALL Center throw-in is one of the fea- tures of girls' rules which was intro- duced this year in Vlaycee basketball for girls. It eliminated the center jump, and resulted in the more even matching of the lYolverettes and XYolverines, cap- tained by Virginia Lindblad and Georgia Perry, respectively. The varsity, com- posed of ten girls chosen from the two teams, won the championship for J. C. and gl. T. H. S. llADlXIlNTON Badminton was a very popular sport offered by the XV. A.
