lzieldball For once, 'ffinalsu did not provoke a picture of gloom in the minds of the girls when it was time for the final game in field-ball. The teams had been chosen and the date set for May 25th. The teams pondered and planned as to what plays to make, and what spots were weak in their opponents. Sophomores and Freshmen both sized up the power of the opposite team. At last the big day arrived with plenty of sunshine. All the studying of the days previous was forgotten, and each girl was confident that her team would be victorious. The teams dashed out on the field and found their places. Time was called,-the game was on! The first throw-off by the yearlings was a splendid one, and was equally well-received by the Sophomores. The ball was again brought back to the center of the Held, where it remained for the major part of the game. The passes were accurate and the plays clever. The whole game was a very fast one with worthwhile plays by both teams. Final score was 8 to 5 in favor of the Sophomores. The last minute of play, the Freshmen could have scored another point, but in the excitement, they threw the ball over the bar instead of under, and the point went to the Sophs. Those Freshmen surely put up a good battle and everyone enjoyed the game. And such a cheering group of spectators! Enthu- siasm and pep made the sky the limit for their shouting. Each team was well- represented by its classmates, although when either team fell behind, all shouts were for them to buck up and renew the effort, All went home feeling pretty chirpy because the game had been such a close one. Congratulations to the Sophomores for winning, and to the Freshmen for their splendid fight. 1 BASKETBALL Since Basketball was an inter-mural sport this year, nothing was done as far as interclass competition was concerned. The girls were divided into teams and a Junior or Senior was placed in charge of each one. These upperclassmen acted as coaches and opened the season with drill work and practice. The girls cooperated nicely and tried hard to follow the directions of the coaches with fair cooperative teamwork as the result. After sev- eral days of such routine, a few practice games were played. Finally, a schedule of games was posted. Three games were played each week, and the odd team officiated. Two of the games were played on the short courts, and one on the large. All the officiating was done by the girls themselves. ln this way every one was given an opportunity to act as a referee, time keeper or scorer at some time. The season passed very quickly, and all the girls liked the method of playing. There was some very great competition between some of the teams because they were matched so evenly. The girls under Miss Hickey made the best showing. ...L.1l.iT--- Page S ixty- two --1--l-

Gym Meet From the balcony the women's gym meet was not particularly impressive: from the judges' viewpoint, it was just another meetg but from within the ranks of contestants, it was one of them thar occasions. For weeks, the girls struggled hard with the particular events they wished to enter. Each noon they could be seen scurrying back from lunch in order to get at least hfteen minutes of shoulder-stands, snap-ups, or inverted hangs. The obliga- tory exercises were worked out by groups, and then tried one by one. Over, and over again, the exercises would be done until the form suited the onlooker and the worker as well. Hut who was behind the meet ?--A committee of girls selected by Mrs. Hes- ter planned the meet, arranged the obligatory exercises, invited the judges, and appointed the scorers and 'flunkiesl The freshmen cheerfully acted as 'flunkies' and added amusement to the meet as they pushed the apparatus into place. The judges were Misses Crozier, Piellfer, Schulmeier, Ernstein, and Mrs. Steichman and Mr. Lynn. Miss Fox was high point scorer of the whole meet, Miss Stahl was high point scorer for the Freshmen and Miss Heacoclc for the junior-Seniors.
