ATHLETIC AND SPORT PROGRAM The Girls, Athletic Association, organized in 1928, has been particularly active this year in promoting a greater interest in athletics, finer sportsmanship and a broader health program. This organization, under the fine leadership of Miss Beatrice Moser, has spon- sored an extensive sports program, adding winter tennis and archery to the elective activities. The Executive Committee is composed of all the oflicers and the cheer leader. Peggy Larson. Three program assemblies were given, reviewing the preceding sports, as well as intro- ducing the sports of the coming season. The point system was revised this year, due to progress in health measures. This system involves a series of awards for participation in athletics, under Starrett super- vision. Awards and honorable mention are given at the end of the year in a final assembly. This year has been a most successful one for this organization. A greater interest was shown through both a greater participation in sports and a large membership. Hockey proved a popular fall sport. Practices were held in Washington Park two days a week, and a tournament was held between the Day students' and the Boarders' teams, led by Marijane Brouillet and Janet Klein, respectively. The results of these games were Day 1, Boarders 3g Day 1, Boarders 1, Day 1, Boarders 5. At the last game, the Boarders wheeled an effigy of the Day students around the Held to the accompaniment of a funeral song. Those who were chosen for the Varsity hockey team were: Marijane Brouillet, Janet Klein, Mae Juel Riley, Beryl Brown, Grace Andrews, Peggy Larson, Kay Wade, Lillian Bachofen, Ruth Gartner, Ruth Wilson, Ruth Arnstein, substitutes, Gladys Hunt and Louise Hinman.
