I just had to call you up to tell you all about the volleyball tournament held at Moore Park November 4. Nobody seemed to want the number 13, so as usual I took it. You should have seen the mess everyone was in. Managers Evelyn Fitzpatrick and Suzanne Hardin were so busy seeing to it that everyone had the right numbers that they forgot to give the score- keepers the right information. Judy McIntyre, captain of the A Team, told us, u0ur first game will be against the Edison Red Raiders. They beat usg then we had a chance to watch the B Team tackle the Edison B Team. Our team won! Wie then played Homestead and with the help of some spectacular plays by Barbara Bowyer and Trixie Fosgate, we won by an easy margin. The B Team played a winning game with Homestead. Jackson gave us our second defeat and put us out of the tourna- ment. Play-off Necessary ' Winning over Edison in the semi-finals, the B Team stood face to face with the fa- mous Miami High Stingarees, who gave them their first defeat. That made it necessary to play off another game which the Stingarees won. Wlhen the winning teams were announced, I was told that the A Team placed fourth and the B Team placed second. As Shakespeare would say, g'Leave us not forget the freshmenli' Well, Sue, there were so many frosh that it was necessary to hold tournaments at four schools. The Ponce teams played at the Edi- son High School gym. Shenandoah Our Rival .Both the A and B Teams placed second, losing only to Shenandoah, our most deadly rival. The tremendous success of both those teams was due to the expert coaching by Cap- tains Carrel Power and Audrey Obarski. That's all there is to tell you, so I guess I7d better hang up. Good-bye for now. --PAULINE MARKS

They are the girls on the water hallet team who call them- selves the Terrapins. These girls put on water shows at the Deauville Pool. Fine shows they are, too. Last on the list is the invigorating game of ping-pong. The phys. ed. department plans to hold an intramural tournament in the middle of April. --JANE WVHITE Pictured left to right, first row: Nancy Albury, Ann Jordan, Judy Melntyre, .Terre Brigham, Elena Morales: top row: Bonnie Austin, Camille Oelkers, Susan Hefner, Harriet Quillian, ,lane White, Pat Fitzgerald, Carol Culliver.
