The ideals of companionship, fair play, and sportsmanship are emphasized as a part of good living and gootl playing. The year’s activities are divided into three sport seasons. A wide variety of sports are offered and the girls may select their favorite, whether it be archery, badminton, basketball, fencing, golf, hockey, swimming, life saving, riding, softball, tennis, or volleyball. This year the physical education majors have had the opportunity of taking tests for ratings as officials in basketball and volleyball. A voluntary sports program was offered after school and from the many girls who participated were chosen the various teams which represented Monticello at the numerous competitive games with other colleges.
