The Faculty-Student Game On Tuesday afternoon, November the eighth, the sedate faculty of the College Preparatory School dotted their caps and gowns, Hgurativelynspeak- ing, and accepted the challenge of the students. A baseball game was scheduled but due to the kindness of Hold man weatherl' towards the Faculty, it turned out to be a deck tennis game. Oddly enough while the sun was shining and the game was still scheduled as baseball, the Faculty were secretly practicing deck-tennis in the gymnasium. Now lim not implying anything but ah-. At any rate, the girls were opposed by ten beaming teachers of knowledge. The star of the Faculty team was Miss Jean Walsh, who acquired her skill in this sport last summer on board the Reina del Pacijco on her way to South America. Other members of this team were Miss Carey, the general manager, Miss Jones, who received a private lesson in serving in the middle of the game, and Miss Hunting, who forgot her Hveni, vidi, vici and entered whole-heartedly into the game. Also Misses King, Faran and Park partici- pated. Miss Kemper was very excited and showed this several times by jumping up and down. Her serve had an intricate wind-up and thoroughly bafHed some of the opposing side. I think Mademoiselle Tripet deserves a hand. That was her first time to play the game. Mrs. Gavian seemed to have trouble catching the ring with only one hand. The girls who played on the Student team were chosen by the Blue and Gold Captains, Ann Campbell and Barbie Feid, respectively. They were as follows: from the seventh grade, Olivia Ramsey, Mary Whittaker and Jeanne Pogueg from the eighth grade, Franny Craydon, Emmy Allen, Laura Stewart and Robin Thomas, from the Freshman Class, Margie Littleford, Peggy Lillard and Janet McDevitt, from the Sophomore Class, Lucy Graydon, Patsy Pogue and Margie McCullough, from the Junior Class, Dorothy Koehler, Gloria Wainsley and Barbie Feidg and from the Senior Class, Harriet Woods, Cynthia Ault, and Paula Maue. The referee was Miss Alice Hkeep the score Hill from the Sophomore Class. The teams were lined up by Miss Carey, who managed the Faculty team, and by Miss Feid and Campbell, who managed the Students. Their respect for the Faculty was shown when the Students gave the honor of serving to them. Mademoiselle Tripet was the first server. The ring skimmed over the net and many white arms reached up to receive it. One of these outstretched hands received it and threw it back to the other side. This kept up until one of the sides lost the point. One interesting thing to watch in a deck-tennis game is the coordination of the muscles. While Wiliam, 193 9 llO3l

the ring is being played, almost every player keeps her legs and feet moving in place. This is so that she will always be on the alert if the ring comes towards her. Every muscle is in perfect rhythm when a player reaches for the ring, catches it, and throws it back. I think it is a very interesting game to watch. Miss Kemper, Miss Carey and Miss Walsh made some excellent plays during the first game but even with these, the Faculty was beaten by the Students, fifteen to six. HCalifornia sunshine, Arizona cactus, They play the students just for practice,'7 was shouted by the onlookers. After a few minutes the Faculty was up and 'crarin to gof, This next game proved fatal to the students, who were beaten fifteen to twelve. The students began to think that this was getting to be too much of a good thing when the Faculty were leading in the third game. They were cheered from the sidelines but this did not seem to do much good, for the Faculty won the last exciting game, fifteen to fourteen. A shout went up from the sidelines and the Faculty was given a rousing cheer for its good work. After the games were played, several new school songs were sung which were very good. One of them was to the tune of HAnchors Aweighn written by Florence Ginn and ,lanet McDevitt on the Washington trip last year. It went as follows: uHurrah for C.P.S. she goes marching on, Down through the many years, pupils Have come and gone, So while we still are here, we shall Do our best, climbing to higher fame for Good old C.P.S.,' The teachers were in a happy state as they left the school that day. I think, and so do many others, that it was a huge success. Letls have another next year! MARJORIE McCULLoUc11, 1941 Deck Tennis A picturesque game if you know how to watch The flashing of legs and the stretching of arms, That lend to the thrill of the catch of the ring. The joy on the face of the player you see, And know she is happy in tune with her being, Wliile we on the sidelines can just sit and cheer. PATSY PocUE, 1941 W atom, 193 Q l 104 l
