HOCKEY Ground sticks, ground sticks, ground sticks, sock? Away flew the ball folr lowed by a shrieking group of greeneandrwhiteerompered girls. uGet it! Delft raise the stick above your shoulder! Turning on the ball! A roll ian Does this sound like a Chinese puzzle or a gang war? Well, rest assured, it is nothing more than a TtpeacefulT hockey game. For upon the opening of the fall term this year, athletics was renewed with an energy betokening long vacations. The hockey field was literally besieged by enthusiastic athletes, anxious to grasp a stick again and htake a sockh at the ball. Under a sweltering midrafternoon sun the first hockey game of the season was played. After weeks of diligent practice, class teams were chosen. All interest now centered around the forthcoming tourna' ment. The first games, played between the freshmen and seniors, furnished plenty of thrills and exciting moments. Although the freshmen put up an excellent flght, the victory went to the seniors, who were superior in skill and experience. Junior pride was taken down quite a peg by the victorious sophomores in a game which proved wildly exciting. The seniorrsophomore game was a thrilling battle between two wellvmatched teams. However, the experienced seniors were again Victorious. The season closed with the awarding of honors, a small silver ball, to each member of the champion! ship team. MARION WEBER, a33.

HELEN BARRY THE ATHLETIC CLUB o F F 10 E R 5 President HELEN BARRY VicerPTesident DOROTHY BRECKENRIDGE Secretary .......................... CATHERINE AYLWARD Treaswrer MARIAN WEBER To find a club from which emanates more lively interest and enthusiasm would be a difficult task. Its purpose is to ' make the members healthier and happier, uto set the cause above renown, to love the game above the prize? It sounds like a rather exalted ideal, but somehow it seems to have been attained, The tournament games make us healthier, the trophies, happier, and Miss Boyle, the popular athletic dir rector, gives us a worthy example of good sportsmanship. Frequent Thget'togethersh throughout the year have afforded the necessary social interest. We remember one frosty day in January when fifty girlish adventurers fared forth on a treasure hunt. Cheeks were rosy that day and appetites keen. We remember also the spring party at which the seniors, victorious in both hockey and basketball tournaments, were feted as guests of honor. The poor girls were almost weighed down under the burden of their silver balls. TTTO the victors belong the spoils! The Athletic Club is now four years old. Though past the debut period it is still a popular organization at St. Scholastica. Backed by the cooperation of the girls it has succeeded in its endeavors and played a large part in school D.

While interest is taken in all the other sports, somehow it seems that basketball is always looked forward to with especial eagerness, and it is with a sigh of regret that we see the season come to a close. xXxk 3-5K A With no small amount of vim and Vigor, the annual tournament began on Feb .t ruary 26. The first game was played between the sophomores and juniors, the 6 former upholding the honor of their class by a 20,12 victory. The second contest between the freshmen and seniors proved a decided triumph for the upper classmen. 3 In the opening game on the second day of the tournament, the juniors skill proved to be more than the valiant freshmen could cope with. After that contest we be; held a game that was a game. The sophomore'senior clash was one of, the best of the tournament. The sturdy sophomores made the seniors play hard for their final victory. ' The fast game held between the undefeated seniors and the juniors resulted in a triumph for the seniors. Each member of the winning team was given a miniature silver basketball to add to the hockey trophy won in the previous tournament. The seniors, as champions, played the alumnae on March 14, in a truly brilliant and breathtaking game. This match brought the basketball season to a close. CECILE BERTRAND, T32.
