PLAY DAY ibNavy! Win that goaNH, Answer echo-iiArmy! Rah! Rah! RahV In the glorious heat of a day in May, and the still more glorious heat of a volleyball battle rival teams panted, perspired, combatted doggedly, good'naturedly, for it was playr day. Wellrpitched teams showed profitable results of the last few years of excellent volley ball training. The scene was a veritable Sells Floto with its neverrceasing action, its stunts going on in various parts of the held. As we revelled in the flags and pennants waving over the campus, we felt that little more could be desired for this crowning day of the athletic year. Enthusiasm never waned and spirits soared joyously with the carer freeness of happy hearts. Tennis displayed excellent prospects of future stars in the welleplayed matches. Cecile Bertrand was winner of the tennis tournament. Spectators and players were ushered through a grand period of hilarity and gay laughter, while gazing upon the most unique events of the day, the informal races. 'There were costume relays, with all their red'hot excitement, sack races, potato races, and clever stunts. Quality and quantity were eagerly exhibited in the perfectly formed pyramids and in the beautiful drill work. Last but not least, the girls showed what they could offer in the way of sprinting and highrjumping. The glorious day was crowned with the awarding of honors and the presentation of the silver loving cup to the valiant seniors. CATHERINE QUINLISK, 31.

Top VOWeBetty Neil, Marion Weber. Eleanor Quinlisk. Second TOWeMarcella OTNeil, Cecile Bertrand, Charlotte Rauen. VOLLEY BALL Dost desire thrills? If so, we recommend volley ball, now one of the popular t sports of the school. Time was when the speedy little game was one of our greatest annoyances, when our athletes had to be coaxed to participate in practice after school. But now not one but two nets are needed to accommodate the players. The credit goes to Miss Boyle, who presented volley ball to us with a complete new set of rules, which we found to our great satisfaction to be pleasantly flexible. TTKeep it up? bplay your positions,H hTthath our pointn are exclamations free ' quently heard during the course of a contest. One is fascinated by the clever net play so difhcult to execute, and amused when some strong arm serves a ball, that in its endeavor'to go places, bounces against the ceiling. The game is entertaining even to those who dont understand it, for the play is obvious, quite innocent of htrick passes. Volley ball season began in March. Class and afterrschool practise built up strong, swift teams of players who engaged in an exciting Round Robin tourney, run off on play day. The six games were hotly contested. Every team showed excellent ability, skill, team spirit and sportsmanship. Most of the victories were won by a Close margin. The juniors demonstrated their athletic ability by winning the final game from the seniors. The sophomores, runners up in volleyball and the freshmen Gull steam aheacD promise keen competition for next yearTs tournament. JANE NIETSCHMANN ,32 AND HELEN BARRY, T31.
