The Varsity-what a host of pleasant memories that Word brings to our mind! During the season of 1931-1932, our squad distinguished itself by unusual prowess on the basketball court and by a spirit of school pride that led it to many triumphs in the sports field. We Wish to give a Word' of praise to our Milly Maurer for the splendid Way she captained the team, a Word of thanks to Miss Elysia Philipp, our coach, who has been such a splendid guide, and Miss Made- line Ward, the quickest of referees. Our appreciation to Jane McCormick for her efficiency in the management of the schedule, and to her assistant, Grace Brennan. Then we wish to extend to the rooters our least criti- cal critics and most loyal supporters, our best Wishes. It has been in all respects a Wonderful basketball season. May the future bring only worthy successors to it. 105 'V?W ?

i' THE INTERCLASS TGURNEY The liveliest and most exciting basketball season in the history of Saint Vincent Academy! Every girl played her utmostg every team fought valiantlyg every class cherished the hope of triumphantly gaining the trophy. Each game found the gym crowded with anxious spectators, each one bearing the color of the team in which she placed her confidence. At the close of each game there was not one who could honestly say she had not experienced a thrill. Although slightly hoarse and sore from vocal and physical gymnastics, each girl felt exhilarated, even though at times the outcome of the game was not what she had expected. The splashing colors-green, red, gold and blue-worn by the cheer leaders of the several classes always did their part toward the cheering-up of the vanquished team. The first game, which was between the Sophomores and Freshmen ended in a defeat for the Frosh, 29-11. The next game, Seniors versus Juniors, was a hard-fought battle that ended in victory for the Seniors, 16-10. In the game between the Juniors and Sophomores, the Sophs chalked up another victory with the creditable score of 19-14. In the next game the mighty Seniors swamped the Frosh with the score of 26-2. In their next game, however, the Freshmen did much better, and the Juniors were able to beat them only by the score of 15-12. The most exciting game of all was the one for the championship, played between the Seniors and Sophs. Amid cheers and groans, the plucky Sophs forged to victory, with a score of 18-12. To the class of '34 we offer our sincere congratulations and the wish that they will always retain their superb sportsmanship. We remind the Seniors to take pleasure in the memory of a contest nobly waged. To the Juniors we say, Better luck next year! We urge the promising Freshman team to continue gloriously the athletic career which they have so well begun. 107
