Considering that this is the first year girls’ hockey has been played at King’s, it got off to a good start. Mary WeWitt did much to organize the team and super- vise its activities, while Mr. Mingle, the school’s athletic director gave as much time as he was able to coaching the girls. Time was short before the first game; however, the team did manage to get in a few good practices. The game with New Castle High School was a good starter and the team did well, only losing by a score of 3-2. The other game played was with Wesley Junior College; the score of this game being 12-1 in favor of Wes- ley, with King’s only goal being made by Evelyn Brinser. A better season and fuller schedule for next year are being antici- pated by the team. The players for this year’s team and their respective positions were as follows: Evelyri Bringer) 205 alco Aroks cunt seaieley Seer east R. Wing Shin] eva Wal licrmis teen emcee ee ee ...C.

Cheerleaders must necessarily have many good qualities to do their job correctly. They must have leadership ability as they take command of the crowd and they must also be faithful to the team and to the testimony of the school, Ours have certainly been all of this. The King’s cheerleaders have urged the Purple Knights on to victory many times this year and when the defeats have come they have kept the spirit of the team and the crowd at a high ebb.

irls’ Basketball Under the able coaching of Jim Hicks, the girls completed their most successful season since girls’ basketball began at King’s. The schedule was about the heaviest the girls have ever had, with many of the games being played as preliminaries to the varsity games. The first game of the schedule was probably the hardest, particularly when the girls went into the game having behind them only a sea- son of defeats. However, with two scheduled practices a week, the margins of the scores became smaller, with King’s being on top five out of the last nine times. Led by co-captains Joan Fleegal and Kay Friedlander, the girls played hard, the several casualties which resulted testifying to that fact.
