POINT GIRLS A number of years ago, in Klamath County, girls’ intcrscholastic sports were allowed. Several years ago this practice was outlawed, and the point system was set up to take the place of interschool activities for girls. The point method allows competition, but this is within the school. Point girls are given awards according to the num- ber of points they have acquired in various school ac- tivities and sports. The first award which is granted for SO points, is a diamond-shaped felt emblem in the local high school colors—orange and black. This diamond measures 3 2 inches on one side and displays the numerals of the girl’s class. The second award is granted for 100 points. This is the regular 3J4-inch school letter M.” The third award is given for ISO points and is the letter O.” This is a 7-inch letter of felt, orange on a black background and is constructed in such a way that the second-award M” can be placed inside it. The fourth award is an honorary one, and the girl winning this is given a white letter. This is a 6-inch, white, chenille O” on a black background, with a small orange M” in the lower right hand corner. The girl must be a senior, have earned 200 points in a four year high school, or ISO points in a three year high school, and her scholastic rating must be outstanding. The fifth award is a gold pin given to one senior girl each year. The girl must demonstrate outstand- ing athletic qualities throughout her four years in high school. She is chosen by the student body at their an- nual election each spring. A maximum of 10 points in any one activity may be won each year. Any member of a team (intra- mural), who has had at least six supervised practices with a total of 270 minutes preliminary to the games played, and who plays two or three games, shall earn her points. Some activities in which points may be earned arc: archery, basketball, bicycling, volleyball, bowling, dancing, hiking, horseback riding, horseshoes, health examination, table tennis, either roller or ice skating, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, track, and play- days. 40
