HIS year the outlook for the Senior Newcomb team was anything but bright D before Field Meet. Certainly we did not expect to win Hrst place. The girls appointed Mary Larsen, Captain, and under l1er faithful work a good team was developed. Every Monday night was given to practice. 1 As Field Meet drew near class spirit and rivalry ran high. Each team was trying to win tl1e coveted honor of being first, All possible practice was crowded A into the last few days before Field Meet. The day of the preliminaries came. Excitement ran high. The Seniors won both games, defeating the Freshmen and the Juniors. At the Field Meet the Juniors defeated the Freshmen and the Seniors had to play the Juniors for Championship. The game was fast and snappy. As the final whistle blew and scores were counted., the question in every one's mind was Who has won? The final verdict was ten to nine in favor of the Seniors. Happy? Satisfied? VVe certainly were! -A. S., H. S. G Page One Hundred S1'.1'fy-tllrec' .4 A A. - 1.-J
