Women's athletics 0F Valparaiso University are organized into one unit by the Athletic Associ- ation, a member of the National Amateur Athletic Federation. Membership, which is open to all, is gained by the accumulation of Filty points through par- ticipation in various sports. Points above Filty go toward an award: insignia, numerals, letter or jacket. A senior member most representative of the organization is honored by the vote of the members with the title of UBlanket Girln, and is presented with a Brown and Gold UV blanket. Anne Kowalski was awarded this emblem last year to symbolize her supremacy in athletic ability and sportsmanship. The governing power of the association is vested in the board, made up of the oHicers and heads of sports. The oHicers For the year were: Florence Schulte, president,- Lorraine Kapp, vice-presi- dent; Marilou Schroeder, secretary; Adah Let'z, treasureri One girl was appointed to keep a record of all participants and participants points in each sport. These were: soccer, Ruth Feis; basketball, Roma Kemena; volleyball, Vietta Schroeder; swimming, Elizabeth Feinup,;archery, Rosella Pillsbury; bowling, Ruth Mell; horseback riding, Jeane SteinhoFF; baseball, Ruth Kemena; golf, Lois Brauer; skating and hiking, Melba Ahlbrandt; bicycling and horseshoes, Ruth Ressmeyer. The board decides all important questions arising during the athletic season, map t t the pro- gram of sports, decides on the rules for the games, and schedules social activities. Naturally, the sports program came under the direction of the W. A. As; but in addition, the organization had many other interests. The scope of the Harvest Moon Festival in October was expanded this year. After the games in the moonlight at Brown Field, the revelers divided into groups and completed the gay evening at the homes of several faculty members, W. A. A. also lent its support, together with that of other organizations, in the promotion of the Ice Carnival. Its unquestionable success demands a similar event for the coming years. In the spring the board started a new plan by publishing tickets in Form of programs which gave the holders access to all of the club 5 Functions. A Kid 5 party in the dormitory started the round of spring allairs. An organized overnight hike completed April 5 oHerings. To keep the organization alive to all students, W. A. A. held a card party in Altruria at the beginning of May. Next in the coed's athletic life came a steak bake at the Dunes with a swimming meet as the main feature of the outing. This did much to instill even deeper comraa'eship and good- will among the girls in the organization. Farewell to another successful year took place at a breakfast party where the year's awards were presented to the deserving girls. Page 121'
