THE RIDING CLUB Left to Right-Misses Feely, Annette Weinberg, Helen Neilson, Jane Frederick, Charlotte Feldstein, Imogene Adams, Jane Acker, Jane Bernhagen, Beatrice Katz, Marjorie Klujnas, Harriet Web , Lucille Webb, Georgina Moser, Constance Koefod. HORSEBACK RIDING Horseback riding, the sport so dear to the heart of the G. A. A. girl, was begun this fall. A club was organized with Georgiana Moser as secretary, and on Saturday the girls met down town with Miss Feely, and then went out to the Park Riding Academy where Robinhood, Jessie James, Raven, Top, Dandy, Sapphire, Energy, Cornet, Going Up, and other horses were waiting impatiently to be off. Oh, the thrill of mounting for the first time. After instructions were given in mounting, holding the reins, and sitting in the saddle, the girls were accompanied by escorts to the riding ring at a brisk trot, and learned to post the trot. After the girls became fairly proficient in posting, the club would follow some of the beautiful bridle paths around the lakes and they would return feeling that no sport could be quite as lovely as one which allowed them to mount their favorite horse and to wander out under the trees beside the sparkling waters. Deep breathing exercises did not need to be encouraged here. and what exercise could be more invigorating than posting. The club has beenilreorganized this spring, with many. new .members added to the original number. Aileen Cowley, Margaret. Theis, Sadle Cohen. Mary Bassin, and Helen Connor in addition to the girls 1n the picture, consti- tute the club. . Mr. Lacey, the riding master, has promised us many happy tirnes this Sprlng, With real picnics as a fltting climax to some of our wonderful rides. 65

TENNIS PLAYERS Chase, Meyers, Sagel, Galinson, Silverlieb, Rocklcr Brickman, Dudick, Schneider, Sieg, Blumberg Lauderdale, Michels TENNIS Through the efforts of a very capable and athletically inclined G. A. A. member, Ruth Lauderdale, the new sport, tennis, was introduced. Ruth took full charge of the tournament, in which twenty-two girls participated. All of the girls that took part in the lirst two games received lifty points and those included in the first three games received seventy-flve points. The players of the final game received one hundred points. The semi-linal game was played by Beatrice Blumberg and Esther Dudick, and Ruth Lauderdale and Lucille Michels. The linal game was a very exciting and hard fought battle between Ruth L. and Lucille M. over which Lucille prevailed. In the fmal tournament Ruth and Lucille both won their own serves. The score for first half was a tie, but by excellent playing Lucille captured the championship with a linal score of 68. The wonderful weather of the fall made it possible to play all but the last two games out-of-doors. The semi-flnal and final games were played 1n the gymnasium. Games were played on Monday nights. The girls, full of enthusiasm and interest, gathered in the parks and playgrounds to playtthe1r games. Although not all of the girls knew how to play tennis, they all enjoyed it,- for a good many girls learned how to play. Of the many new sports at Lincoln this one is rapidly gaining popularity. 67
