Feminine Live Wires Sports-minded girls happily take part in athletic activities on Wednesday night alter school, rushing down to the gym to get into the various exciting games and earn their awards as well. Bowling, bad- minton, and ping-pong tournaments were played in great suspense as the compet- ing contestants narrowed down to the three final champions. Another one oi the many vigorous games played with great enthusiasm was volley ball. Songleaders deserve high praise tor their big part in building up the spirits of both team and tans. These girls looked charming in their new sweaters and let- ters. 3,94

Bowling' Hawks are Neyberg, Rexfnrd, Hendricks, and Sperlick. Listening to Coach Sukup are: R. Gessncr, Wilson, Cook, Johnson, D. Gessner, and Stoke. Balls Tell Tale Bowling has made its way into the conversation of many Unionitesg especially is this true of the boys who roll the balls at the Fanatorium once a week. They took many prizes at the all-city bowling ban- quet held at the Morton House, where Mr. Palmer, their adviser, presented the awards. Golf at Union is not at present a major sport but it is making its way, with more and more Red Hawks putting those little balls around the green. Warner is hitting the ball while Samrick waits for his turn. Both arv members of Union's tennis team unslcr Coach Freoman. The team has a schedule ot eight matches and one state match. Coach Sukup said that there were twelve boys out, but only six in the above picture. The twang of the ball against the racket lured many athletic-minded students out for tennis. Last year Sidney Samrick was third in the city. He is on the team again this year. Mr. Freeman, a Navy veteran, took over the coach- ing this year upon the resignation of Mr. Meyering, coach tor many years. Getting: pointers from Coach I-'rue-man are: first row: Meyers, Smvenge, Strain, Seamon, Unprcrg second row: Rc-ynders, Ham- .nond, tvloriock, Samrick, and warner.

Thrive on Sports Appeal To create an interest among girls in the sports and activities which add to health and physical efficiency is the double purpose of the Girls' U Club. In G.U.C. there is no place for idlers and loaters. A girl must pull and work together with her teammates in order to chalk up victory for her team. To bring out sportsmanship and build strong bodies are offered badminton and bowling, both in school and out. About 60 girls belong to two bowling leagues that play twice a week at the Fanatorium. These girls are members of the American High School Bowling Congress. Set 'um up must have been the thought of Speth, Golubski, Wilson, Hammer, Flora, and Pierson, after-school howling enthusiasts.
