Flrmly establishing itself as the Invincible , the Virginia girls' swimming team has swum its way through another successful season. For the eighth consecutive year, the Virginia team has reigned in the state, both by suf- fering no defeats in dual competition and by winning the state meet. Under the captaincy of Patsy Bailey, the team showed its capability by maintaining an average of 45 points per meet throughout the season. Although comparatively weak in the baclcstroke field this season, the mermaids had a goodly number of consistent point-getters in every other event. Climaxing the season's aquatic schedule, Virginia swept through the state swimming meet held at Biwabilc, to emerge 10 points ahead of its nearest competitors, the Biwabilc tanlcsters. In each of the free-style events, Virginia entered four girls. This entire group placed in the preliminaries in the relay swim, the 50 yard free-style and the 100 yard free-style swims, and, in the fin- als, copped the relay trophy and three places in each of the other two events. Virginia,s most promising mermaid, Doris Novotny, an eighth grader, won first in the 50 yard breast-stroke. The total number of points amassed by the locals in the state

Exhausted athletes surged into the fieldhouse with bruised shins, but with radi- ant faces. The star fullback dashed down the field to block a well-aimed pass, only to be cruelly stopped by a heart-breaking plunge into a slippery mud pud- dle. Fifty girls answered Manager McKenzie's call for soccer enthusiasts. Peggy Eaton, Margaret Haw- kinson, Elva Mae Brandt, jane Phillips, Elaine Eng- man, and Ruth Slade captained the six teams which battled throughout the season. Peggy Eaton's 12th grade team emerged the victors. Thirty-one girls, under the leadership of Manager Betty Waananen, received their points after a short season of archery art, which was terminated by Old Man Winter, who had definite ideas about closing the season before the championship tournament was played. A yellow-trimmed hockey stick struck a new white ball with apparent unconcern. Surprised gasps floated across the athletic field when a resounding crack announced that another stick had split. Re- sponding to field hockey Manager Jaksha's call were fifty-four enthusiasts. Four teams, captained by Mar- cella Ring, Mildred Davidson, Albina Jaksha, and Rose Pecarina, fought through a successful season, which resulted in a tie for the championship between Marcella Ring's and Albina Jaksha's teams.
