Miss Madclock was in charge of a bowling group which met in our own alley every week to practice for their tournament which was held at the bowling alley on Forty- seventh Street just west of Drexel Blvd. Theirs was a thrilling match with Ruth Beck- man proving herself champion and Beryl Brown and Marijane Brouillet coming in for second and third places in the order named. Another interesting feature of the basketball season was a game held between the alumnae of Starrett composed of Virginia Ferry QC.j , Marjorie Smith, Margaret Fordyce, Jane McMahon, Dorothy Whittle, Estelle Montgomery, Margaret Carlson, and Marion Kenny against the Starrett honorary team, composed of Lillian Bachofen fC.j, Theo- dora Herfurth, Jean Russell, Marijane Brouillet, Robin Douglas, Marian Huff, and Beryl Brown. The hardier alums won over the attending students by the narrow margin of thirteen to sixteen. Starrett's second team was composed of Gladys Hunt, Mercedes Bennis, Joan Bourque, Ruth Gartner, Caddie Mozier, Mary Plaisted and Louise Hinman. Washington's birthday held patriotic enthusiasm for school as well as country when the volleyball group held a game resulting in the team composed of Marian Huff, Louise Hinman, Roberta Fisk, Marjorie Cobacker and Beryl Brown winning. The honorary team consisted of Marijane Brouillet, Marian Huff, Mary Lou Wade, Louise Hinman and Beryl Brown. Cider, cookies, and dancing! Not all our meetings were strictly athletic! Our first get-together was strictly a social affair. Then later, the G. A. A. welcomed the new students who had entered in midyear, during an assembly period. We caused no end of excitement for the new students when we all appeared wearing hair-bows in either of the Starrett colors of green or white. When enlightened as to its being Tag Day a-nd told that it was sponsored by the G. A. A. the new students immediately donned the perky bows in honor of our Tag Day also. The crowning glory of the year! The Sport Hop! A galaxy of new spring clothes. Easter finery donned for the first time. And what music! We really had a grand time, mostly because of the festive appearance of the house, we think. Roller skating! Teachers as well as students gr-avely striving to retain their balance on whirling, sliding skates that won't both go in the same direction. The spring sport schedule introduced also besides roller-skating, baseball, archery, golf, tennis, swimming at the Y. W. C. A., and riding. And the fitting climax to a year of healthy fun was capped by a Play Day! A whole day in which to roller skate, play baseball, and tennis, and watch our archers shoot their bows and arrows. A fitting finale with which to wind up the end of another happy year! Fifty-eight
