ATHLETIES The year of 1950-1951 was launched thy a new program, organized and devised hy Miss Hamilton and the Athletic Board. New sports were offered to the Upper School, the point system was revised, with many additions, and a poster committee was formed. The teams, also, have several new additions. They have more members fthe faculty and the Fourth Gradel, cheerleaders, uniforms, and most important, mascots, Vvhoopy and Sassafras. Although there was a iot of work done to improve the program, the reai action started with the Blue and Silver voiieyhaii games. The first series was won hy the Blues, and the second hy the Silvers. Due to the fact that there were no interschooi voiieyhaii games, there was more opportunity ior hasicethaii practice, and ihoth the inter- schooi and team games were very active. Many tournaments were held with a large numher of competitors from Classes Four through Senior. They certainly have added enthusiasm to the school. Vvet hope that we shall he ahie to revive Field Day for the Upper and Middle Schools, and due preparation is in process. We wish to commend the teams for their sportsmanship and spirit. the cheerleaders for their active participation. There is no need to commend Miss Hamilton, for without her experience, guidance and contagious friendliness there would he no such thing as Athletics. TERRY TURNER, President of Athletics

SELF-GU EHNMENT Self-Government is the foundation upon which the unity of the Upper School is hased. The Councirs aim this year has been to estahiish unity through the cooperation of the self-government classes and to encourage hetter understanding of Self-Government. Previously, the Ninth Grade was inducted into Self-Government in a brief ceremony. Although they were then active members of the organization, they did not fully understand the need for its existence. This year a forum was held with the Nines and the Council to discuss what Self-Government accomplishes. The Council earnestly hopes this type of forum will hecome a tradition for future Ninth Grades. Cn several occasions We have invited Upper School girls to Council meetings. We realize and appreciate the value of having these guests at such meetings. During the year we have discussed and improved upon government rules which seemed outmoded to the girls. Through discussion, the Key of Self-Government, more privileges have been extended to the self-governing classes. It is the fervent helief of the Council that few rules need he necessary if a self-governing community like ours is successful. We Want to thank Miss Hill and Mrs. Keyser for their constant interest and understanding, for through them the theory of Self-Goverm ment has become an actual experience. t GAIL WARD, President of Self-Government 29
