Newbert The Athletic Association sponsored a year top-heavy with Wheaton victories i n intercollegiate sports, and exciting for its intermural contests. Nancy Newbert, left wing on the senior hockey team and swift swatter of the birdie on varsity badminton, . was President of the association. She was Fair Harvard assisted by Vice-President Sally Peck, who has seen service on varsity badminton, hockey, and basketball; Secretary Linda Thomas, and Treasurer Betty Cahall, both mainstays on our varsity hockey and basketball teams. = ull Most unique and exciting of fall sports events was Wheaton’s historic first meeting with Harvard on the hockey field. The number of hockey enthusiasts made an immediate jump to include the entire stu- dent body on that eventful day of October 28, 1940, when Harvard went down under the crushing defeat of 1-0 by Captain Hastie Price, her worthy forward line, and supporting backs. Continuing its ascend- ancy over Jackson, Pembroke, and the Freebooters, the varsity hockey team real- ized another undefeated season, and shield and chevrons were well-won by Doris Alex- ander, Jay Jenkins, Helen Kingsley, Betty Lewis, Bobbie Payne, Hastie Price, Cherub Schnabel, Linda Thomas (hockey mana- ger), May Affleck, Ruth N. Walker, and Carol Tillinghast. On Our Side { Page 20 }

Oe aS lrennous You is the strong-arm You that takes two steps at a. time and is often seen dashing from one end of the campus to the other. It is the You that starts out for the lbe and finds itself on the tennis courts, that manages to keep a happy spring in its step even on the grayest of Monday mornings. It 1s the exuberant You which often feels it just can’t sit still a moment longer.

Out of seventeen tennis matches, the Sophomores won a total of 61%, thanks to the superior curves and back smashes of Bobbie St. Clair, Bobbie Payne, Nancy Cunningham, Cathie Sellew, and Peggy Rossmassler, who replaced Cathie after her accident on the Science Building steps. Bobbie St. Clair, Peggy Rossmassler, Bob- bie Payne, and Nancy Cunningham re- ceived the well-deserved class numerals. The Freshmen ran a close second in the class tournament, with Terry Coatsworth and Hilda Rodman dividing the honors equally to make a total of six victories. Then Hilda and Terry fought for the cov- eted Freshman Cup to an exciting victory of 6-0, 6-3 for Hilda. The Fall Riding Meet with House in the Pines was especially exciting this year be- cause the Wheaton Riding Team, ably cap- tained by Lucille Donle, needed only one more victorious military dril] in order to - retire the cup. However, Wheaton lost the drill and the cup, but ’Cille took first place with ribbon and trophy in the Champion- ship Class. Lois Johnson received a chev- ron for her fourth year on the team; Lu- Ribbon Winners cille Donle and Norma Dickey, for their third year; and Margo Boote, Billie God- frey, Kay Kennedy, Helen Masson, and Ruth Rabe, for their second year. New- comers who rode for their first year re- ceived shields. They were Marilyn Atwell, Jean Dickey, Jean Farmer, Pat Kuehner Jane Martin, Jane Mills, Frances Randall, Jane Scharrer, Theo Wood, and Betty Meyer.
