Under Miss King's able guidance, the Girls Athletic Association plentifully provides and plans extracurricular sports activities for all St. Agnes students so that each girl can find a sport to fit her own athletic desire.

Milder maids may prefer clicking ping-pong balls or bunting badminton birdies for their exercise, while in late spring the balmy weather beckons many to competitive baseball games and the Hexecutives' game -golf. These extracurricular activities, in satisfying individual sports desires, help lead to the formation of physically fit, mentally alert students who know how to work and play together. 58
