H. S. sport, either last year or this year. Most of the girls of the basketball teams signed up. Miss Neitzel then sang a song en- titled Pep, which she had composed for the girls. She was encored clamor- ously, and responded, but the girls had to join with her in the singing. This organization will have charge ot the field meet to be held in Iune, and the members will take part in most of the events, such as indoor, tennis, etc. This club is a new step toward fur- thering athletics for the girls.

The girls are very proud that they have the honor of presenting this cup to the school to be handed down to winning teams in the years to come.
