THE YEAR BOOK Tennis Q ANY enthusiastic players have turned out for tennis this year and comprised a large field for the team to be chosen from. All dur- i ing the year at various times we played the other schools around the bay and then entered our team in the big Claremont tournament. In this, one of our teams came through to the finals, but all our girls played well, and they had hard opposition. In the school tournaments for the singles and doubles cups, Dorothy Smith and Elizabeth Broadwater won the doubles and Dorothy Smith the singles. B On the team this year were: HARRIET HUME ELIZABETH LINEBERGER EDITH STEBBINS ELIZABETH BROADWATER DOROTHY SMITH CAROLINE BEBDY l67l

THE YEAR BOOK The Gymnasium Meet HE Grand March! Surely the confident swing of the marching girls is a pleasant surprise to anyone who has been struggling through the year with the rest of her gym class trying to master the art of square corners. The music may have somethingto do with it, but the credit not only for the marching but for the whole finished production belongs to Miss Carnochan. The First and Second Grades start the meet by doing rhythmic move- nmnmintnnetonmwm.TheThndandFoumhChadmthmnnnhnvsun. Then comes a folk dance by the Fifth and Sixth Grades. They seem to enjoy it immensely and pull each other's hair Ca movement in the dance -don't worryD with a right good will. The Seventh and Eighth Grades then do their folk dance. As they all go back to their places thejuniors appear with time-honored dumb bells on their hips. Their performance isexuenmbfgoodandthdrrhydunshowsthemuhnngtheyhavehad during the year. After the Juniors come the exercises-eight girls from each class making up the group. Then comes the military marching, eight girls from each class competing in this also. Immediately follow- ing this the Freshmen and Sophomores come clogging from their corner of the room and give a lively, clogging sailors' dance. Then the Seniors come from the depths of the basement with their customary Indian Clubs. The exercise is completed, without any serious damage being done. This finished, the apparatus is brought out and with astonishing agility girls go up the ropes, and over the box. Then comes the last event of the meet, a relay race between three girls from each of the High School Classes. They do it with hockey stick and ball. The idea is to weave the ball in and out around four Indian Clubs. lt is feared that some of the girls would not qualify as polo players. Miss Bridges then awards the cups. The Seventh and Eighth Grades win the Lower School Cup,while the Seniors carry off the honor in the Upper School. Then the posture prize, a new institution this year, is 8WHIdCdfOJC8HJ3HHSOUlUthCIJPPCfSChOOlHHdX5IghHHCDHVCfh1IhC Lower School. The numerals are given out to the class gym teams and then the Gold R's are awarded to those who have had a good record all year and have been on three School Teams. I1.S. l68l
