Members of this year ' s team included John Storm, No. 1 player, who is an outgoing sophomore; Jack Sorensen, No. 2 player, a frosh who is the most likely candidate for next year ' s No. 1 position; in 3rd position is the steady Chinese player from Monterey — Tom Gee, another Frosh; in 4th position is Diamond Yee from Salinas, who after ser- ving his 2nd year on the J.

MJ D ill £ il ' i) S P D Ji T S This year saw the introduction of the Women ' s Athletic Association to SaHnas Junior College. Founded by a group of girls interested in sports, this organization has grown rapidly. The girls who have the honor of first holding office for the W.A.A. in this college are: President, Elsie Tamagni ; Vice-Presi- dent, Flora Panziera ; Secretary, Dorothy Fullride; Treasurer, Ruth Grove. These officers called the first meeting to order on February 16, 1938. This meetmg was devoted to discussion and adoption of a proposed constitution. At the following meetmg, an awards system was worked out to suit the purposes of the new body. This year, girl ' s soccer had a disappoint- ingly small turn-out for a sport that has always been considered major, i-lowever, quality made up for quantity, as the few who played were very enthusiastic and apt. A few weeks were spent in class learnmg the fundamentals of the sport. Volleyball is sometimes thought of as a ' snap game. But persons of that opinion would soon change their minds if they ever faced one of those cannon ball services that some of the girls have developed. The thrill of the game and the desire to obtain W. A. A. points accounted for the large turnout for after-school volleyball. The contest between the freshmen girls and the sophomore girls resulted in a glorious victory for the latter.
