HE Girls' Volleyball Team met with more success this year than it had during the two previous years of its existence. Thirty-five girls, a threefold increase over last year, tried out for the team.

Additional time devoted to volley- ball during gym classes provided valuable prac- tice for team members and helped to stimulate an interest in the game among the other girls. Although we played only two games this year and lost both, we lost by a smaller margin than last year. We hope to have almost all of the players back next year.
