twenfy-sci'1'1i This year, interclass sports proved to be very popular with the fair lassies at Norwin. The girls participated in basketball, volleyball, archery, tennis, ping-pong, and last but not least, hockey. Again, as usual, basketball, with Margaret Sofaly as manager, has been the foremost sport, and has enjoyed more attention this season than ever before. The teams were divided into two groups, Class A and Class TS. The championship of the A tournament was won by the Senior team composed of the fol- lowing members: Charlotte Millen, Captain, Betty Boch, Nancy Brown, Faye Carmack, Margaret Collier, Harriet Cook, Martha Kerr, Lola Larzelere, Anna Leathers, Eva Mae Qualls, Florene VVatson, and Marion VVilson.

Volleyball, which immediately followed bas- ketball, was managed by Betty Muse, and was another interclass sport which afforded much pleasure and excitement. The girls played better volleyball than ever before and there was no little trouble in picking our best teams. The championship of the tournament was won by the Sophomore team.

Girls Sports games were held in the fall, during which much skill and agility were displayed. This interesting sport afforded much exercise, and pleasure to all four classes, with the result of producing some very skillful hockey play- ers. So much enthusiasm was displayed that the girls were even to be found on the field on Saturday mornings. Archery has also played a prominent part in girls' intramural sports. The arrows whizzed through the air, hitting the target, and very often the bull's eye. The girls turned out to be very skillful archers, almost rivals of Robin Hood himself, who, had he been there, would have found himself up against much competition. A Columbia Round archery tournament under the management of Nancy Brown, was held this spring, the re- sults of which are not known at this date. Tennis, a new but exciting sport, was played in the fall. This sport was carried on by means of an all-school elimination tourna- ment. All girls, regardless of their training, were eligible for participation. This sport was accepted with much enthusiasm making the contest a great success. The tournament was won by Cornelia Hockensmith, with Nancy Brown as runner-up. Ping-pong, an exciting sport played in the spring, was carried on by means of an elimi- nation tournament, with Helen Drake as man- ager. It was accepted by the girls with so much enthusiasm that the contest was a great success. Last year's tournament, held late in the spring, was won by Charlotte Millen. This yearys contestants will have to work doubly hard to win over the present school champion. The OHicial's Club, open to members of the two upper classes, was very much in evidence this year. The work consisted of refereeing, umpiring, timing, and scoring, and seemed to be enjoyed thoroughly by the girls. The membership of the club was as follows: Betty Boch, Nancy Brown, Faye Carmack, Mar- garet Collier, Marie Curry, Helen Drake, Lyda Hill, Florence Hurst, Louise Jamieson, Sara Kunkle, Lola Larzelere, Anna Leathers, Charlotte Millen, Alberta Mosso, Eva Mae Qualls, Margaret Sofaly, Florene Watson, Marion Wilson, and Alice Youngstead. This year has proved to be a very success- ful one in the world of sports at Norwin, due to the hard work of the girls, and to the ex- cellent training and coaching given to them by our Physical Education Instructor, Miss Alls- house. twenty-eight
