Thej C of 1937 W. A. A. AUTUMN SPQRTS SHUFFLEBOARD Shulitleboard was a game especially adapted to tournament play, and the XY. A. A. girls took advantage of this. A ladder tournament, with the girls playing in couples, was held in the fall. ln the second semester a doubles elimina- tion tournament was played. Eighteen girls took part in this sport. Play was on three courts in the girls' small gym, after school and during free periods. HQCKEY Bully, dribble, pass: and down the held they go for one of the most exciting outdoor games. Hockey, the first fall sport, had a very thrilling and successful season. The weather was perfect and the I. ul. C. co-eds held their own with the high school teams, ending the season with a tie between the Seniors and for the championship. 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. A. this year for the first time. The boys as well as the girls were fascinated by the battling way the bird, or shuttlecock, lloated and dipped. A mixed doubles tournament was played with fourteen couples taking part. It was a roundfrobin tournament with each couple playing six games.

The IC. of 1937 X i SEPTEMBER Cherished Martha: A fortnight ago you informed me in shockingly outspoken language that my heart is undergoing a process of ossification. Flighty, shallow-minded girl, to demonstrate the injustice of your charges I have composed a diary -for surely one never knew an unromantic diary-keeper. In order to make this record of consequential events immediatelly available, I have undertaken some exhaustive research, covering events of the past year. I enclose the project herewith. Devotedly, Percival Eustace. TI-IE DIARY OF PERCIVAL EUSTACE BRAINTANTRUM Dear Diary: A tattered piece of newspaper, dated, September 14, supporting one leg of my lop-sided desk, carries the headline, Hi Schoo and junior Colle Beg Today. .Iane I3rennan's Iliary affirms that on September Z2 Patrick McFarland was elected President of College Chrb. Before I was ejected from the lllazer oftice for being an infernal pest, I noticed a headline in the First issue of the Blazer dated September 25: College Slipper Mixer Tonight. GCTOBER Another item in the second issue stated that on October 2 Henry Luccock was elected president of the sophomore class and George Hellman, on Octo- ber o, president of the freshman class. Vllith an abusive warning that it would be inexpedient for me ever again to mention the third of Qctober, an uncouth freshman dislodged two of my canines and sent them on a tempestuous intestinal journey. I conclude that this was the day the sophomores made thirty home-runs to the fresh- men's twelve in their annual football game. Miss Mather sympathetically directed me to her desk calendar, which I found very interesting. In fact, I became so engrossed that I was oblivious to her presence until I found my head jammed between the legs of ex- president Lincoln. That is not my calendar, she puffed, kicking me violently. That is my diary. tAnyway, the Blazer Iligskin Mixer was on September 23.3 How could I forget that Fred Patterson's team made the most touch- downs in the Noon-day League Basketball Tournament, which terminated October 29? Not students, but teachers, infested the building on October 30, and I must say that their conduct was reprehensible. I spent the day in a quiet study hall, resolved not to be at party to the folly of teachers' institutes. Dagc Twenty-sczfcii NOVEMBER Looking about me cautiously, I seated myself at her desk, and turned to November 0 in her interesting calendar. I saw a comment about another teachers' institute and the XY. A. A, Harvest Moon Strut, and then saw that my head was jammed between the llegs of ex-president Lincoln and heard Miss Mather telling me that that is llot her calendar, it is her diary. I fear that the desk at which I had seated myself was the same desk at which Miss Mather had seated herself some time ago and from which she had not since removed herself. I am sorry, said Miss Dickinson, but I have forgotten the date of my charming production of November 20, 'The Eyes of Tlaloc,' and stop this animated conversation and get out of the hall. The Fall Formal, said Miss Mather as she jammed my head between the llegs of ex-president Lincoln, was November Zo, and it was on the same night that VVil'ls' lads licked the tar outta' Springfield in their first game of the season, and that's not my calendar, that's my diary.
