In order to add a greater competitive spirit to the activities of this branch of Women's sports a tournament was started with twenty-live Women entrants, most of the squad being seeded to top positions, and the rest of the entrants, many of Whom were members of Miss Carroll's second period tennis classes, playing for their positions on the ladder. Many of the matches proved both interesting and exciting. At the tvvo Play-Days at Pasadena and Los Angeles Junior Colleges the usual line-up Was: Doris Phillips, first singles: Pat Peevish, second singles: Joy Rutherford and Veronica I-Ianekamp, first doubles. These Women have proved by their type of consistent playing that they are capable of holding their positions and representing S. M. J. C. in this sport. The following Women received minor awards for tennis at the Spread: Joy Rutherford. Doris Phillips, Pat Peevish, and Sylvia Northrup, the last named having paired with Inez Gordon in second doubles. - The tennis team has been faring better and better each year. It is hoped that it will con- tinue to gain strength until S. M. J. C. will have a won'1en's team that will compare favor- ably with any in the Women's Athletic Association Conference. 5 1' , va, 1 I . 1 Z f 4, ,' my ffl, I X if f i 'iff Y - C iv? :Af 1, 24 I -.VN .,!Alf6,-v , 53:90 if Z' S 1- if c L 'gf - qi, - - I avi - ,KJ ,jr in f fs 5 -rf ni gl, , ' AF' 1 -QF,-'5-Lg.

Page, Phillips, Hanekamp WOMENS ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION ITH Geraldine Page as its president and Miss Mary K. Carroll as sponsor, the Women's Athletic Association of Santa Monica Junior College continued to grow more and more popu- lar as the year passed. The most notable achievement of the year was the success of Jerry Page and the ex- ecutive board in securing a higher award in the form of a letter to be given to the women. Two major and one minor sports entitled the participant to this monogram. - Some of the high spots of the year were the Annual Basketball Spreadlat which the higher awards were presented for the first time: The Gym Circus with its side-shows, clowns, and evening of entertainment in the big ring : the three Play-Days, the first and last were held at Los Angeles Junior College and the second at Pasadena Junior College: and the final function of the year, the Beach Party given by the out-going executive board in honor of the newly-elected officers of the club. This organization sent two representatives to the Annual Conference of Associated Women Students and Women's Athletic Associations which was held at Chaffey Junior Col- lege. Whether or not delegates will be sent to the tenth annual Western Division meeting of Women's Athletic Associations had not been decided at the time the yearbook was sent to press, although it is believed that those delegates will be named at a later date. A Much of the success of this year's activities may be attributed to the hard work of Miss Carroll and to Jerry Page. To Miss Carroll goes the credit for the Circus and the Spread. Jerry deserves praise for her work on the Spread and for her efforts which finally resulted in the commission giving its consent to her request for a high award for women's sports. The W. A. A. is to be congratulated for having chosen two such women for its leaders. The women who held positions on the executive board of the association for the past year are: Geraldine Page, president: Veronica Hanekamp, vice-president: Louise Marcus. awards-secretary: and Doris Phillips. secretary-treasurer. The managers of the various sports were: I-lilda Ives, speedball: Inez O'Connor, basketball: Pat Potter, swimming: Laura Curtis, 1' baseball: Joy Rutherford, tennis: Elcyne Lynch, archery: and Pauline Thompson, volley ball. xc' . isis 4' ' ., i f x y 41, - Y fi- .

The team made creditable progress under the able management of Pauline Thompson. The first Play-Day was held at Los Angeles Junior College where Pauline Thompson, Pat Potter, Joy Rutherford, May Judson, Ethel Graaf, Ruth Williams. and Ethelyn Stone were the main participants. The girls were unfortunate in losing the first two games, but the scores were very close and both games were intensively interesting. Though this team did not come out in first place, it did bring back the memory of a hard-fought game, and a keen desire to show 'em next time. g The second Play-Day was held at Pasadena Junior College at which Charlotte Tarnutzer took the place of May Judson and Helen Riffo substituted for Ruth Williams. The scores of these interesting games were 15-8, 9-15, 15-13, which show that the contest was a hard fought set and although the final score showed Pasadena the victor, the Santa Monica women played three fine games. These women proved that they were excellent players and true sportswomen in every sense of the word. Volley Ball has become increasingly popular for the reason that it is not as strenuous as basketball, and so Hnds favor with many of the women students who enjoy group playing and the excitement of competition.
