.fs W . I El le ll TENNIS Thus far, definite tennis teams have not been organized, but we are looking forward to this final step next year. Although we cannot boast of a fixed team, we are proud to say that the court is scheduled for every free hour and that all the girls are intensely interested in the game. As our Athletic Association is yet young. tennis is one sport that is working its way to the front and will probably come to the top in the Associatioifs progress next year. From early morn till the evening study bell rings, matches are being played, and we feel we have some future cham- pions among our girls. The fact that the eonrt was re-worked this year and is in first class condition helps to make the playing a source of pleasure. BASEBALL I.ast year the baseball team was represented by the Ifreshman team, but this year, teams and captains were elected and organized in every class. The diamond has as yet been somewhat deserted, but try outs are to be played sometime this w eek. XYe will leave it to next year's annualists to say whether 1927 baseball teams were a success or not. CROQUET Several games of croquet have been featured this Spring, A Croquet tournament is being planned, for a later date, in which awards are to be granted. XYith a goal such as this in mind, croquet will probably rise another noteh in its way to success. lfired with the thought of this tournament, the girls are gradually becoming more interested and more games are being played.

Ninety-Tfu-o af THE TOURNAMENT Five classes, with not an absent member, occupying the bal- cony of the K. C. Gym on April 6, cheering, waving their colors, calling their favorite players by name, and wagering on their teams, announced that the basketball tournament of the S. H. A. was about to take place. just before the whistle blew, the Gold, Blue and VVhite, backed by eight physically-fit basketeers made its appearance on the floor and got in trim for the pressing game. Following, came the First Commercial, decked in their purple and white with the same outward appearance, to do or die, The whistle blew, all were silent, necks were craned. Then, the game began. The fight ended amidst shrieks and cheers for the Seniors, Then the Orange and Black came floating out, a hundred strong, and placed topsy their live mascot, in the center of the floor. They were followed by the Red and Black who likewise placed their mascot and began a few short plays. The game was a close one and it was hard to tell who would win until the final whistle blew leaving the score ll-12 in favor of the Sophs. On April the 7th the same scene greeted us. The Freshies bloomed out in their green and white to try their luck with the Sophs. But luck was against them. It seemed like that ball would just play on the hoop, they simply couldn't make baskets. They held a lofty and unconquerable air even to the end, when the score stood 15-8 in the Soph's favor. The Sophs fought a hard battle in the final game, and won the admiration of all by the grit and determination with which they entered it. The Seniors still held their knack of good play- ing and won the tournament from the Sophs with an easy score. The scores were: I Commercial 10, Seniors 25 Juniors ll, Sophomores 12 Freshies 83 Sophomores 15 Sophomores 4g Seniors 27 fs-QL-X QE
