jblfbilne Volley Ball is enjoyed hy a large number of girls both in class and varsity games. The skills for the sports at G.H.S. are taught during class time and are put into use both in class and after school. Bowling has been very popular recently. We have moved from North Broad Street alleys to those at 13th and Market Streets. The opportunity to be on the varsity squad is open to those bowlers who make one hundred or more. ' Swimming is another away-from-school-sport. Our mermaids practice at the Y and take part in inter-school swimming meets. The Tennis Club has grown from a group of SVVIMMING CLUB VOLLEY BALL six or seven to a full-Hedged club with an over- Howing membership. Concentration on the basic principles of good playing is afforded during class for everyone, but those more interested go to the Woodford Courts in the Park to receive further instruction and to try for the varsity. Beginners, as well as advanced students, are welcomed in every sport available. Besides those clubs discussed above there are the Trot and Canter Club, Hockey, Basketball, Badmin- ton, Table Tennis, Archery, and Baseball. Whenever that New World comes, the stu- dents of G.H.S. will be prepared with good sportsmanship and healthy, alert bodies, thanks to our Atheltic Association! TENNIS BASEBALL
