An extensive intramural sports program fills the extra- curricular life of many girls at Maple Hill. Under the direction of Miss Mary Earl, the program is designed to stimulate interest in all phases of athletics. Girls meet weekly to play field hockey, soccer, volleyball, basketball, or softball. In addition to such formalized sports, the girls make use of various apparatus, such as the traveling rings, spring board, ropes, flying rings, vaulting box, parallel bars and the trampoline. -These apparatus aid in the development of agility, balance, co-ordination and grace. The training gained in these sessions helps the participants to further develop the skills employed in regular gym classes. Through playdays, girls engage in interscholastic competition with various local schools. Good sportsmanship is the guiding principle of these playdays, as each girl endeavors to elevate the reputation of her school. y 1.,..,,..., .Q up K ...aiu ' Opponents face off for a bulley.
