'5'.'Qtfg ' ' Girls9 Sports THE COACHES The coaches, Miss Mildred Pitt and Miss Elsie Mott, are two mighty good sports, and the girls enjoyed working under their careful supervision. MOTT PITT W. A. A. l-IE W. A. A, is the governing body for girls' athletics, therefore it is fitting that it should head the first page of women's sports. This club is sponsored in schools all over the coun- try and is organized to promote good sportsmanship, also, to create more of a social spirit among the girls from the different classes. This year a new constitution and point system were adopted. The officers elected were Jo Wagner, president, Guinevere Watsons, vice-president, Jane Watson, secretary-treasurer, and Mary Lake, recording-secretary. There were about forty members. Eight regular meetings were held, and each sport season was ended by a pot luck supper. VOLLEY BALL Volley ball opened the sport season. An interesting fact was observed-the girls coming out for this at the last minute showed particular ability without having practiced. Mary Lake and Pauline Miller were the stars. TENNIS The l3 and i4 tennis classes were so popular that many girls who wanted to get in had to be rejected. lnterclass tournaments were held. Players who were conspicuous in their ability were Ruth Dennison, Vivian Curtis and Geneva James. page sixty--six

' inor Sports VARSITY TENNIS ml UNDER MENTOR Paul Wil- son the varsity netters enioy- ed a modicum of success, They had an easy time defeating Compton, Taft, Long Beach, Santa Ma- ria and Lancaster, barely nosed out Santa Monica I2 to ll, and were beaten by Glendale, Los An- geles and Pasadena. PREP TENNIS AS l-If-XS BEEN their habit, the high school racqueteers en- joyed a successful season. They lost only one match by the slim margin of ll to I4 to Oxnard whom they had previously beaten l3 to l2. Tutored by Coach Paul Wilson, the Prep netters had a comparatively easy time in defeating their other county rivals from Fillmore, Santa Paula and the Junior l-ligh. Tom Meyers was runner-up for the county singles championship behind Wil- son of the Junior l-ligh. GOLF OLP, THOUGH not new in the school's competitive ath- letics, was given added impetus with the addition of a driving range and the furnishing of free equipment. Coached by Mr. Paul G. Kepner, dra- matics instructor, the golf team engaged in con- ference competition but was unable to win a match because of insufficient members. ARCHERY ARCHERY was the year's new activity added to the school's athletic catalogue. It was introduced at the in- stance of Joe Buckmaster. Not being an interscholastic sport, there are naturally no outside touranments. l-lowever, a club, sponsored by Buckmaster with Ed Buckner as president was formed. This club was created for the promotion of archery and greater compe- tition among its school adherents. lt is hoped that development of this event in other institu- tions will bring about conference tournaments. page sixty-fi

Girls' Sports HOCKEY The turnout for hockey was so poor that it was necessary to combine the l2's and l3's against the ll's. More interest is predicted for next year. BASKETBALL A two court system was introduced in basketball this year, requiring three forwards and three guards. The i4's in accordance with their superior years and, in some cases, size, succeeded in winning three out of three games. The captain of the winning team, Margaret Kerr, was outstanding as a forward and high point woman of the season. Other notable forwards were Doris l-lolden, Charlotta Marquez, and Ruth Dennison. ' SPEEDBALL Speedball seemed to be the most popular of all sports with the girls, judging at least from the size of the turnout. Two wings highly recommended by the coaches were Miyeko Ota and Margaret Kerr. BASEBALL As this annual goes to press the baseball season is just starting. lt is predicted, however, that the l4's will be victorious. Baseball playdays will be held at Fillmore and Fullerton. INDIVIDUAL SPORTS Golf and archery were new this year in the sport curriculum. No exceptional players in golf were discovered,but the girls enjoyed digging up the turf and yelling fore . ' Archery was taken more seriously by the participants. Interest was so keen a club was formed and plans made for the awarding of tassels. DANCING lncluded in the dance course are folk, tap, and social dancing. The most outstanding program of the year was put on for the benefit of Miss Kollmansperger's fashion show. On this program a tango and a Dutch dance were performed. page sixty-:even
