Tennis Team Wins City Championship 0ttawa's tennis season opened March 28, when Mr. Mitchell. the tennis coach, called a meeting in the band room of the boys who wished to join the team. The makings of a good team showed up-a number of veterans, such as Burger, Heines, Grant, and Sailors as well as some new boys. During their training, they could be seen almost any night after school practicing or playing off the challenge matches by which the team is formed. The boys play each other, and the best players are chosen to represent Ottawa in the tourna- ment. As shown by the scores at the right, we did very well last season, in fact we won the city championship. This year we expected to do at least as well, and we had a team which showed great promise. Creston and Davis Tech were not having tennis teams this year, so there were only five opponents for us to overcome. We started out by winning a practice match with East 5-2. We won from Christian and Union by 4--l and 3-2 respectively and beat Catholic Central, which was undefeated before then. ll 1943 Scores A l -f Opponent We They Christian ..,.,,...

Lewa l The Lewa club after fifteen years, is still carrying on the tradition established in 1929, when it was organized. Its purpose is to cooperate with the Department of Physi- cal Education in the promotion of athletics and to foster the highest ideals of good fellow- ship. The most interesting activity this year was a pep assembly in November. The girls, dressed in football uniforms, dashed into a gossipy huddle. Then they proceeded to demon- strate some plays which were very unusual, and would have really confused an opponent. Jeanne Jacobsen, Corinne S-teury, and Dorothy Winsemius made a trio and sang some songs. Sophie Gounos and June Veen- dall entertained the students with a comedy dance. How many poles are there around the swan pond? Get two hairs from the tail of the wolf at the park. These were some of the things the girls were asked l Amt... to find in a contest at John Ball Park, where the Lewa club had a picnic and initiation. On December 15 they invited guests and met at Jacqueline Brown's for a spread. They played Christ- mas games and went to a theater. On May 17 the girls had a weiner roast at John Ball Park. This picnic was to initiate the new members for the second semester. The olhcers for the first semester were Dorothy Winsemius, president, Jacqueline Brown, vice-president, Jeanne Jacobsen, secretary, and Shirley Blake, treasurer. For the second semester, they were Jeanne Jacobsen, president, Shirley Blake, vice-president, Joan Toland, sec- retary, Joan Pitsch, treasurer, and Sophie Gounos, scribe. Miss Ellinger is sponsor. Members of after-school games who have a ninth grade athletic award, who do not miss more than one game each season, and who fulfill certain require- ments in leadership, marks, tournaments, and individual ability, are eligible for membership in Lewa. Lewa officers the lirst semester were Jacqueline Brown, vice-presidentg Dorothy Winsemius, president: Jeanne Jacobsen, secretary: and Shirley Blake, treasurer.
