Under the direction of Ivliss Helen Keefe, many new sports activities have been made available to the girls. More important than improving the girls' athletic abilities, is the emphasis put on good sports- manship and team play. Most of the girls who participate in after school sports do so only for ref laxation and enjoyment. Each sport provides a wholesome outlet for pentfup energy in addition to developing competitive spirit and fair play. The girls' soccer season began in line style with a playday, at Mohawk, in which Ilion, Herkimer, Little Falls, Norwich, and Mohawk participated. Under Joanne Brown's efficient management, the girls later kicked their way to victories over llion, Herkimer, and Frankfort. Although there were a few minor casualties, most of the girls managed to end the season with only bruised shins. 21 .lean Pugh, E. Hughes, P. Staley, S. Cor' Sitts, L. Thornton, D. Suits, H.

GIRLS' SPORTS . . continued Field hockey, a new sport this year, brought many enthusiastic girls to the field to try their luck. Though they had little practice, the team held up valiantly against teams with years of experience behind them. The next sport to appear on the scene was volleyball. In the short season, Johanna Kroll ex' pertly led the teams to victories as well as defeats but everyone enjoyed the sport tremendously. Duringthe winter and into the spring, many girls went bowling one night a week. With Mrs. Hilyard as coach and Carolyn Grimmer as manager, bowling turned out to be a very successful sport. The girls won every match except one, and even beat the boys' bowling team! In January, basketball began with Dorothy Van Zoeren the manager of this fast sport. The girls played hard in an intramural tournament, besides practicing for games with other schools. The seniors, with many able, experienced players, won the tournament. The girls began the season with a few defeats but later beat Herkimer twice and Frankfort once. V The girls began bouncing around on the trampoline in the spring. In this sport, which has no team play, the girls compete only against each other. June Barrett managed this sport in which a large number of girls participated. The softball team began its season by beating Ilion. The girls bolted the ball around like prof fessionals, and Manager Claudette LaFountain was proud of them. The team went on to have a good season and loads of exercise. In March and April, recreational games were played. These games included badminton, ping pong, and deck tennis. Although the purpose of this new sport was to give the girls individual recreation, they traveled to Norwich in May along with the bowling team for a playday . . a day of fun. All in all, the sports program served to develop emotional stability, physical poise and mental alertness for the participants . . . thus are built stronger, finer citizens. 22
