Pictured at the top are those six peppy cheerleaders of S.T.C. — and they had plenty of reason to cheer as the girls ' var¬ sity basketball team rolled over every college opponent on its schedule. It was the most successful team in the history of girls ' sports at S.T.C. Picked as underdogs in almost every game at the first of the season, the sextet proved themselves worthy to be reckoned with, respected by their opponents, and back¬ ed by the school. The hockey team suffered a curtailed season of only two games. They battled Wesley College to a 0-0 deadlock at home, and lost 5-1 at Wesley in the re¬ turn gam e. In February the girls began practicing for the annual Seniors ' Day. It finally arrived, and Miss Jamart ' s charges put on an exhibition of dances and gymnastics which surprised and delighted not only the guests but also the college students. Throughout 1947 - 48 the so-called weaker sex ' ' at S.T.C. has done much to prove that woman ' s place is not neces¬ sarily in the home—that they can also hold their own on the athletic field.

MENS ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION President .WALTER POTTER Vice-President .MARSHALL MOORE Secretary .JIM CLARK Treasurer .TOM STERLING Through the combined efforts of Coach Benn Maggs and his student associates, S.T.C. ' s post-war sports program rose to even greater heights during the past school year. Unaccustomed sports were encouraged to an unparallelled extent and, although in their infancy, their permanency in the S.T.C. sports curriculum in the future is almost assured. Originating with the introduction of intra¬ mural track during the spring of 1947, the 1948 track squad led State Teachers College for the first time into intercollegiate track competition. Cross-country was introduced last fall but failed to develop to a degree where it could safely challenge rival col¬ leges, but next fall may bring forth a group of harriers capable of competing with rival schools. Men ' s A A Plan a Sports Program Coach Maggs At the conclusion of the soccer season, S.T.C. had attained even greater prestige in the realm of sports with Coach Benn Maggs rounding out a team of potential cham¬ pions. Their only loss was suffered at the hands of a much larger school, the Univers¬ ity of Maryland, which ended S.T.C. ' s win¬ ning streak of 8 games. Although the Basketball Team suffered several set-backs, it seems quite apparent that the greenness of a majority of the active players is bound to ripen by next season and bud forth with more wins to greet their loyal fans. To those who compose the Men ' s Athletic Association and to many others who have contributed toward the advancement of sports at State Teachers College—we, the students and all other loyal rooters, wish to express our deepest gratitude.
