Due to the shortage of teachers, a serious hindrance all of America's schools are facing this year, and the fact that other more essential classes were being held during the six periods of the day, N.Y.C.U.H.S. girls were more or less unable to indulge in a full-time Physical Education period during the first semester of school. However, Mr. Hanley, being of a kind heart and realizing that play, too, is an important factor in the development of mind and body, managed to organize a class. He supplied the students with pretty blue gym suits (a bit baggy in the seats) from a large cardboard box. From the same source he produced white tennis shoes of assorted sizes, shapes, and in various stages of delapidation. With deft rummaging the girls selected the shoes of their choice. Then donned their suits and began a very invigorating game of baseball—having previously elected two captains, Betty Salmons and Nettie Hall. The beginning of the second semester brought a delightful surprise. For who should arrive but Miss Steere. She proved to be the answer to our fervent prayers. Thus it came about that the thirteen pupils again participated in the games all the youth of America love. These fun-loving females competed in some heated games of volley ball with our own boys, besides baseball,basketball, and tennis (very popular). As the days grow warmer as well as longer our ambitions are waning, however, as every human likes to seek cool restful shade to lall in while the hot sun beats down—so we, being healthy, ordinary persons, are enjoying ourselves immensely, watching our brawny brothers and boy friends exerting them- selves at baseball.
