objecft of the Association is to foster a sports program which will arouse interest in all quarters of the campus and which may serve to bring out latent qualities of leadership in the in- dividual. Various seasonal sportsare carried on as well as certain others which last throughout the year. Each sport gives an award to its most proficient participator. The highest award is the block S jacket which designates membership in the S Society. Only those girls who have found it possible to combine leadership, scholarship, interest and proficiency in athletic ac- tivities are eligible.

For this we may thank Mr. I-lavens for his efforts in bringing to Scripps the Pasadena Wanderers Club for a special game.
