ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION A “Super’’ athletic year 1947-1948 has been at Spence. Under the inspiring leadership of Mrs. Vigeland and Miss Hodgson everyone has shown a great interest. The White and Gold Teams, urged on at every moment by the team captains, Mary Hicks and Meadie McAlpin, have battled fiercely in every sport for the coveted cup, the biggest struggle of all, however, being the President of A. A.’s efforts to pronounce “athletics” correctly in assembly. In the fall we started off with tennis and hockey for the outdoor type, and volley ball and both modern and square dancing for our more urban athletics. Even the tennis players who were pretty good at wielding a tennis racket had to answer Miss Hodgson’s quiz on rules and etiquette of the game. If you didn’t know your loves and foot faults, you were out of luck. When the weather grew colder and we shivered more and more on the courts, we moved inside to take up basketball, ice skating, and our new sport, fencing. We do not cee much of the fencers’ performance, but we at least know they have learned to use the words “touché” and “en garde.” The highlights of our basketball season are the games with Miss Hewitt’s and Lenox, as well as the team games. 52
