From 3 :30 to 4:00 p. m.. the girls played games and did what they liked. From 4:00 to 4:30 p. m.. both classes were in- structed at once. Miss May E. Fisher taught the advanced group while Aliss Thelma Elliott, a stu- dent teacher in P.E., helped the in- termediates. Diving was so popu- lar that Miss Fisher gave it special attention in the advanced class.
