MISS O'KEEFE MISS TTOAR Girls' Athletics The Northeast junior High Girls' Athletic course consists of gymnasium, swim- ming, dancing, and the sports of soccer, baseball, volleyball and track. The baseball season started October 20th and ended December 18, with Miss O'Keefe's seventh hour winning the championship. The volleyball tournament brought many exciting games and was won by Miss O'Keefe's third hour class. The Duck Club, organized by Miss O'Keefe from the girls' Gym classes, consists of girls who possess unusual aquatic ability. Perfect posture as well as excellent diving and swimming is sought by these girls. The chief aim of this group is to become Life Savers. ' The Gosling Club, organized by Miss Hoar, is composed of girls from the gym classes who can not swim. As soon as they have mastered the art of swimming, these girls work on the form of strokes, in hope that they will some day become n U ducks. The Track Events were first run off within the classesg the best from each class competing in final events. Each girl in the department was given a chance to compete to the best of her ability. The swimming -meet is held each spring, and the same method of competition is used as in the track meet. Miss O'Keefe instructs the swmiming classes. At the beginning of the year the girls are taught to overcome all fear of the water by simple methods and games. All strokes are based on the same foundation so all girls are required to learn face float, leg flutter. and puppy paddle with perfect form before they are taught more difficult strokes or diving. The dancing classes, under the supervision of Miss Hoar, began the year with the fundamentals of ballet and a few simple daucesg these were followed by folk dances. interpretation of music into motion, and clog dancing. The classes are conducted with the aim of developing tothe fullest extent, the social, physical, and corrective values of the dance, not only affording wholesome exercise, but also developing a symmetrical physique.
