Each class had two teams, composed of twelve players, making twenty-four in all. The teams were numbered one and two, and every team one played all the other one teams, while the two teams played each other.. Both teams in each grade played exceptionally well, so that on the final day of the games, several teams were in the lead. The climax came Tuesday. The partisans for every grade were in evidence, every one confident that her team would win, and indeed if the cheers of the rooters alone could have won the game, every team would have emerged victorious, for the girls' lung power was tre- mendous. At last, after an exciting half hour, the bell rang, a-nd we discovered that the AWS had beaten the B7's by one point, and thereby won the tournament. r We were very glad to have the graduating class win, yet we secret- ly envied the you-ngest class who were such good players and such good losers. TEAM 1-Helen Thobaben fCapt.J, Roberta Lee, Blanch George, Vivian Barber, Mildred Blum, Wilma Bullard, Winona Wright, Wil- hemina Hansen, Inez Jordan, Juanita Selby, Mary Dougherty, a-nd Clotilda Tenorio. TEAM 2-Edith Knapp tCapt.J, Grace Collier, Ella Priebe, Marie Cordil, Lila Adcock, Gertrude Jelis, Ellen Hicks, Gertrude Murray, Ruth Holden, Cora Miller, Hannah Deradoorian, Marcella Le-narth. Interfclass Basket Bali Games One of the many of our school activities that inspires a wholesome rivalry between the grades is the series of girls' inter-class basket ball games that decides the basket ball championship every term. The games are contested between the three upper grades and are under the auspices of our gymnasium teachers. Tryouts for places on the teams are held during the physical training periods. The A9's covered themselves with glory last term 'by winning the school championship. They deserve special mention, as the class was an unusually small one. The B9's, by their good work, came very near winning the coveted championship, while the A8's, who had only a few weeks practice, played exceptionally well. The players in general showed good team work, while the losers showed their tine spirit by congratulating the champs, -Lillian Rosen and Ruth Stewart, A9's.
