CURVETTES CATHARINE SAMPLE G.A.A. SPONSOB Since she has played a memorable part in our lives, we wish to dedicate this sec- tion to Coach Catherine Sample. Those girls lucky enough to have associated with her will never forget her able coaching and friendliness with everyone she con- tacts. Because of her desire to instill in her players her own ideas of sportsman- ship and clean living, Mrs. Sample has again achieved a successful season with the girls. We might not have come out on lop everytime, hut Ponce was always tops in sportsmanship.

With four lettermen returning, our net chances looked very bright at the time of this writing. Four opponents filled the '45 tennis slate. First the netters met the Beach racqueteers at Flamingo Park, then Fort Lauderdale's fine team visited us at the Coral Gables Country Club the following week. Miami High was next in line, and the Gables netmen played them at Henderson Park. ln their final match of the season, the Cavaliers met Edison on the Country Club courts in our other home contest. Sam Daniels, resuming his '44 number one position, led the Cavalier netters. In the order named, the rank- ings went from one to seven, Sam Daniels, George Cor- rigan, Gerald Monsalvatge, Pic Brannon, Jay Clarke, Bob Miller, Tom Blakey. However, Sam, George, Gerald, and Pic are the returning lettermen. To the state tournament at Rollins College Ponce sent up four players early in the month of May. They had a good opportunity to come home victorious. Manager of the tennis squad this year was George Corrigan. The seniors who graduate this year will leave a large gap in the tennis lineup. Sam Daniels, George Corrigan, Pic Brannon, and ,lay Clarke have all played an excellent brand of tennis, and replacements for them will be hard to find.

ARCIIEBY GIIUUP GIVES AWARDS Archery awards were given to the girls for the first time this year. A lot of talent was found in our bow and arrow group. Many girls learned for the first time how to shoot accu- rately, from others who had partici- pated in previous years and who took part in camp archery. This sport is destined to take an active place in Ponce activities. 102 .vo TEAMS WIN THIRD IN V-BALL Volleyball girls went to the Dade County Tournament to take third place in three divi- sions: Senior A and B and Freshman A. Before the tournament an inter-school meet is held among the seniors, juniors, and sophomores. This gives all an opportunity to show their abil- ity. The winner this year was a sophomore team, captained by Felicia Wells. Second place went to the senior team, led hy Sally Hunter. L I
