SENIOR VOLLEY BALL CHAMPIONS T last volley-ball has been introduced into Kendallville High School. Never before in the history of Girls Athletics, has a call for any sport been answered with such spirit and enthusiasm as the one issued for volleyfball November S, 1926. The plucky Freshman had enough girls out to make two strong teams, and be' fore the season was over, everyone had heard of their ability. The Sophomores and Juniors had enough players tor one each and a few subs, while the Seniors, not to be out classed by the Freshman, reported with enough girls to make two strong teams. At first there were many uboners pulled, but within a few weeks all the teams showed a decided improvement. During all this time the enthusiasm was steadily increasing. Several games were played among classes but the climax came with the tournaf ment. The volleyfball season closed with a supper given hy the losing teams to the Seniors who were victorious in the tournament and it might be added, in every game they played. Much credit should be given the Freshman for their plucky ight against the experienced Seniors. Go to it Freshman! We're betting on you next year.

i 'VT .,,-iff- .fl S E HELEN HENRY MISS CARROLL DESSIE KIZER HROUGHOUT her high school career Helen has put her very best into the athletic activities and has long since established a name for herself as the fore- most enthusiast of girl sports. Along with her ability to play every game with ref markable skill Helen has evidenced her true spirit of sportsmanship and clean play. It would be very difiicult to find a more ardent boaster of girls athletics in the coun' try and certainly impossible to discover a more loyal friend. Miss Carroll has been with us for only one year yet during this short time she has displayed her splendid ability as a physical director and coach. She has brought new interest into girls athletics and with her ever ready willingness to help the new girls, has encouraged them to take part in all activities. Her spirit of clean play has prevailed throughout the entire seasons of volleyball, basketball, baseball, and track-making them the success they could never have been without the supervision of our instructor, Miss Carroll. Dessie reached one of the most honored positions for the girls of K. H. S. when she was one of the selected two best girl athletes. These girls were chosen on the basis of their ability, sportsmanship, and attitude during the year of l9Z6f19Z7. Dessie is always there with the pep that lasts, a smile that wins, and a determinaf tion to play hard to the end. She plays for the joy of playing and for the success of her team. 7 H ' ' f Page 105
