The Athletic Association HE A.A. as it is familiarly called by the Student Body, has become a very dehnite and influential factor in Academic activities during the past year. Not only have its members concentrated on sports with which they are immediately concerned, but they have also organized several entertaining and most successful parties, introducing mod- ern games and novelties of every' description. It can be well understood, however, that the dearest wish of the members of the A.A. was realized in the splendid athletic record of '37, With the opening of school at the beginning of the year, hockey practice began in real earnest. The Senior, Junior and Former teams were particularly strong, and even the practices were full of enthusiasm and spirit. We have already devoted another page to a description of the most exciting game of the year-the Cup Game, so little need be added here. It sufliees to mention that an interested audience was duly impressed by the neat, clever game of the opposing teams and the final victory of the Seniors. The Fall witnessed the renewal of interest in basketball. The Formers opened the season by defeating the Juniors in a steady, well-fought game. The Senior-Junior game on March the fifth proved a close victory for the Seniors, whilst the final famous Cup game on March the tenth ended in triumph for the Senior team. The Formers were surprisingly quick and nimble throughout their various encounters, giving much hope for future prowess. These two major forms of sport were not however, the only ones favoured by the Student Body. We must not forget the happy hours devoted to baseball, tennis, ping- pong, badminton and track. We also take this opportunity to extend our deepest gratitude to Miss Ruth Cin- sky, our devoted and zealous coach, who has given a year of unselfish labour to the progressive ideals of our beloved A.A.

Promptly at that hour, a group of students in trim riding suits, set out for the school stables, and from the happy smile on each face it may easily be deduced that here indeed is a sport that is loved at Marymount. Westclmestei' County has been blessed with an abundance of excellent bridle paths. Those in the vicinity of our Alma Mater are especially beautiful. Tall pine trees border each side of these paths and the sunbeams glimmer through the foliage, playing an elusive species of Polo with us as we canter along. The Senior Class enjoys the privilege of participating in breakfast rides twice each school year. On these occasions, the students, making an early start, ride to Briarcliff Lodge for breakfast, and after a morning's Canter, return to the gates of Marymount at about eleven o'clock. But the climax of the year for riders of all classes is the Annual Horse Show, held during the month of May on Field Day. Then how eagerly all strive for the coveted blue, red, and yellow ribbons that tell of progress and prowess in horsemanship. After the usual program of popular sports, white hurdles are erected on the stadium, the judges take their position in the center of the field and the horses with their riders are led in. Excitement and suspense fill all hearts until the decision of the judges is an- nounced and then the joy of the victorious ones is complete. To us riders, the thought has often occurred that it is but fitting that students of Marymount, our Queen of Schools, should be enthusiasts and lovers of riding-the Sport of Kings.
