GIRLS’ SPORTS The year 1941-1942 was an active year for girls' sports. All types of sports were offered to the girls under the direction of the Girls' Athletic Association, Leaders' Class, and Miss Ogan, athletic director. To the girls graduating this year, participation in sports proved to be one of the most valuable and most popular phases of school life. HOCKEY once again took the spotlight among the fall sports. The seniors emerged as victors of the interclass tournament which was held in October. During the season the senior team competed with teams from Columbus School for Girls, Grandview, and University. The senior team included Jane Hamlin (captain), Kathryn West, Mary Lou Kennedy, Marjorie Fauber, Martha Morris, Nancy Bottman, Marjorie Bell, Jackie Butler, Betty Renneckar, Marjorie Almy, and Christine Holderle. Seniors elected to the all-high hockey team were Mary Lou Kennedy, Jane Hamlin, Kathryn West, and Marjorie Fauber. BADMINTON was played in the gym at noon throughout the winter months. Jackie Fullen, a freshman, defeated Connie Carlile, a senior, for the championship of the girls' tournament. BASKETBALL season was warmly received by every girl. During the season, besides occasional games with underclassmen, the senior team played Grandview and an alumnae team, meeting defeat in both games. Intramural night on March 25 was the most exciting event of the basketball season. Six teams, composed of ten girls from each class, participated. In the first games of the evening the seniors and the sophomores defeated the juniors and the freshmen respectively. Then followed a hotly contested battle between the two victors, resulting in a 7-2 victory for the seniors. As a reward for a hard-fought game, the members of the senior team, Connie Carlile (captain), Mary Lou Kennedy.

In past years, baseball teams have competed with teams from other schools, but, because of transportation problems, no intramural games were scheduled this year. TENNIS drew numerous enthusiasts this spring. Led by Captain Carlile, the tennis team competed with Columbus School for Girls, University, Grandview, and Bexley. Connie Carlile and Jackie Butler were the only seniors who played regularly. Loyal substitutes were Marilyn Graf and Doris Young.
