THE 1933 i WARRIOR WOMEN'S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION President............ Edythe Sudnun Secretary-Treasurer....Estella Loseke Sponsor........ Mrs. Charles H. Mason The Women's Athletic Associa- tion has been in existence at Midland for three years. It was organized for the purpose of furthering interest in women's athletic activities and devel- oping women physically. Its success has increased from year to year. A co-ed becomes eligible for membership in W. A. A. when she has earned twenty-five points in athletic activities. One thousand points arc required to win the official “M” of the organization. These points may be obtained by partici- pation in any athletic game and by personal hygiene. Tournaments arc sponsored throughout the year to stimulate interest in the various activities of the W. A. A. A tennis tournament is held annually in the fall. Kathleen Cords was the winner in 1932. The junior basketball team won the tourney in that sport with the senior-freshman squad taking second place. Volleyball and swimming at the Y. M. C. A. are the other winter sports. In addition to these, regular floor work and folk dancing classes are held throughout the winter. Hiking, tennis and baseball are the sports planned for this spring. The modern trend in women’s athletics is toward organic develop- ment. neuro-muscular skill and wholesome attitudes through vigor- ous and systematic exercise. W. A. A. activities strive to provide for these aims. Back tow: Firm. Rowe. Cordis. Jackson. Teat. Smith. M. Johnson. Kupfer Front row: Gunnell. Mob'.er. Kusel. L. Johnson. Lucas. Rieper.
