That ' s this year ' s slogan of S.T.C. ' s Athletic Association. With practically the entire male element in the armed services, the lassies were left to put our college over the top in sports. The whole country had turned its face with grim realism toward a working combination of a united home-front allied with its fight¬ ing men. S.T.C. could be no exception. As leaves changed color and days be¬ came brisk, any casual observer could see wandering girls eguipped with odd leg guards and hockey sticks, en route to the athletic field. Yes, those girls were off to put that hockey puck through a tremend¬ ous battle. Occasional skinned knees and sprained fingers were exhibited after such encounters—but proudly! Fortified by genuine ability and the will to win, our girls began their fight to vic¬ tory. How could they be defeated with Mary Marshall and Janice Hearne shooting those baskets. The results of the season were six wins and one tie. Two high points in our year of sports were All High- School-Seniors Day and the tournament with Towson—our traditional rivals. We showed our colors on those occasions. Beware! Flying arrows! One has to be on guard when archery takes the fore¬ ground. A new sport at our college, arch¬ ery found many eager participants in the summer session. Some of the girls became so skilled in this art that the bull ' s eye took a beating. Ping pong, badminton, and tennis offered pleasure to girls inter¬ ested in other sports. Our sports program plays an ever im¬ portant factor in college life. 23

ALSO PRESENT AT THE DANCES held at the college this year were some of pur ov n men. For in spite of the call to arms, the freshman class roll boasted of seventeen men. The Men ' s Association has accomplished much this year in the way of promoting a spirit of good will and cooperation among its members. Moreover, the men tired of the ugly barrenness of their smoking rooms and they have fixed for themselves a com¬ fortable spot in the basement where they can study, hold their meetings, or just relax. Good times have also been a part of the Association ' s activities. Their advisor, Mr. A. L. Fleming, was host at a waffle supper at which there was plenty of excitement. There could be no better combination for fun than hot waffles and a raft of hungry THE MEN’S ASSOCIATION: boys ready for a frolic. Since several of the boys had to report for military duty at the end of the second semester, there was another social affair to see them off properly. On January 31 the group met again for dinner. This time Miss Mary Butcher ' s home was the scene of the festivities, and the men invited their girls to be their guests. President Blackwell entertained the men at a stag party on the evening of St. Pat¬ rick ' s day. The Men ' s Association officers for the year have been Charles Hemming, presi¬ dent; William Wimbrow, vice-president; Tom Neale, secretary; William Calloway, treasurer; Mr. A. L. Fleming, faculty ad¬ visor. Their organization has done a fine piece of work and its members have proved themselves assets to college life. Webster, Callaway, Wimbrow, Gambill, Tyndall, Milbourne.

HOT WEATHER and the urge to go swimmin ' didn ' t interfere at all in the summer sports program. Softball was fore¬ most in the thoughts of all the sports- minded. Our girls found worthy opponents in the Telephone Company team. And the week¬ ly Wednesday-night games were enthusi¬ astically hailed by the student body. The ten weeks series of games terminated with S.T.C. the winner. Never will any of us forget Cropper ' s hard hits, Dottie ' s home runs, and the sportsmanship and team¬ work displayed by the entire team. There was plenty of fun for everyone. What about the picnics? Of course, we can never forget them. Watermelon pic¬ nics, hot dog roasts, and all sorts of good times were prepared by the A.A. (in col¬ laboration with Miss Ruth”). The last game found the Telephone Girls as hosts to S.T.C. ' ers at a picnic in the Muni¬ cipal Park. We ' re all looking forward to another summer of softball and fun.
