PETIE SCHMIDT Secretary-Treasurer PEGGY HUDSON President wading C7515 ONE of the greatest honors a member of Maryland can attain is membership in the Riding Club. The requirements for entrance are rigid. Twice a year try-outs are held and the eligible girls are judged impartially for their general form and ability in handling their mounts. The club members cast their votes for the candidates and the approved girls are invited to join. However, they must go through a period of pledging before they can finally say they are members of the Riding Club. The Barn Dance this year was one of the outstanding successes of the year and it not only proved to be a financial boom, but everyone said it was the best ever. Once more the club attended the horse show at Fort Meyer and brought back with them new ideas in equestrian feats. May found eager crowds watching the Performance of our own horse show in the paddock, which was considered one of the finest of all drills. A luncheon after the final show closed one of the best and most active years in the history of the Riding Club. Captain Gelston, C. Stanford, P. Hudson, J. Valentine, B. Von Bargon, R. Holcombe, P.

cqufsfia cqzioaiation HELEN BOELSON, President DURING the first semester, under the direction of our faculty advisor, Mrs. Russell Kiker, the Athletic Association was organized with representatives elected from each class. With the able help of our advisor we arranged stimulating hockey games with Notre Dame and Towson Normal. The HGyp Artists was such a success that the association was able to buy a new mat to be used in indoor gymnastics. Basketball games were arranged between the freshmen and sophomores who still remain arch rivals. Towson Normal strenghtened our varsity team by weekly practice games with us which caused much enthusiasm. ttMom left us at the end of the first semester but although she has gone her school spirit will continue to inspire us. In Mom's place we welcomed Miss Thain, a graduate of the Savage School for Physical Education. Under Miss Thain's direction we continued ice-skating at Carlin's, bowling at Towson, instruction in swimming, tennis, archery, soft ball, and badminton. A new badminton court was com- pleted on the front campus on the old basketball court. We are looking forward to the new hockey field. This year Captain Gelston, in charge of horseback riding, took the girls to Fort Myer, Virginia. There we had demonstrated for us the many ways that one can ride a horse. Each May, Maryland College holds its annual horse show which is opened to the entire riding department. L. Schneeweiss, H. Boelson, J. Valentine, M. Weil. sixty-four

BOWZZny 75am THE sport of Rip Van Winkle's little dwarves has found a warm spot in the hearts of Maryland College girls. Under the able direction of Maxine Weil, who was assisted by the captains of the class teams, bowling has become a major sport during the winter months. Inter-class competition and inter-mural tournaments with the Towson Normal School as well as individual competition have been a weekly feature in the program of sports. d710cg 537 75am THE end of our hockey season saw us with ten inter-mural games under our belt. To the perennial battle with Notre Dame of Maryland was added the weekly competition With the Towson Normal School. A steady schedule with the Towson team afforded excellent practice and keen opposition. Dreams of a new hockey field are coming tgue and cast the shadows of bigger and better games for next year before t em. I. Valentine, Terry, Heiser, . Boelson, Reinhardt, . Schneeweis, .
