GIRLS’ Volleyball is an excellent team sport which can accommodate a great many people at one time. The team sports are encouraged to further a permanent in- terest in wholesome, active recreation. Many girls who do not find the more strenuous skillful games interesting find their places in the volleyball interclass series for which a banner is given. Archery is finding an important part in the high school program. It is a well- moderated postural training, together with the development of coordination, self- control and steadiness. Self-achievement through improving one's record is of in- trinsic value. A Junior Columbia Round type tournament is used to determine class winners. M. Grant, L. Thompson, H. Martis, B. Millett.

The green 1950-51 edition of the Junior Black Horses cage team had a rough road tc travel, and in spite of their lack of previous experience when the season opened the baby hoopsters have turned out to be a capable outfit that have played together with no one performer standing out to the exclusion of his team mates. The entire baby squad is made up of freshmen and sophomores who promise to bloom into a winning combination in a year or two. Though losing more games than they have won to date the Juniors have shown a fast-moving and aggressive brand of ball, and have shown lots of scrap and hustle against bigger and more experienced J. V. teams to make up for their lack of size. They have lost a few tough one-point games but with a little luck could have been winners and may get a few more victories before the season is over. Regardless of game records this young and green Junior squad has shown marked improvement from the first night they stepped out on the court, a scared group of youngsters to play their first game in interscholastic competition representing their school.
