EST lie It always snowed on dance week-ends; it was beautiful skiing weather when we had to study for exams; it rained for Dart- mouth Carnival. But we got to North Conway for February 22 anyway—not quite positive of whether we would be forced to sleep on the floor or on the roof, but not really caring. The snow was hard on top, wet underneath, and poor in general, but we loved it because February 22 was a Saturday and we could recuperate all day Sunday—if we didn’t ski some more. There wasn’t enough ice to suit anyone, but, when the Gulf Stream wasn’t aping June in January, we really did have fun playing in the snow, getting to classes late, OneeDown and spending the whole period getting dry.

Winter Badminton and swimming furnished mid-winter athletic excitement both among classes and with Radcliffe, Pembroke, and Jackson. The varsity ‘‘Basketeers,”’ in- spired by the especially professional com- petition of the experienced Antiques, by the Radcliffe forwards who could reach even farther then Wrather and Nute, and by the Pembroke ability in general, de- veloped a successful team that will con- tinue to be good next season, for no players will be Jost by graduation. ‘‘Bud’’ Creigh- ton, captain, demonstrated more than once to a surprised and cheering audience just how to toss the ball into the basket while running and jumping simultaneously at a forty-five degree angle. The other victor- ious varsity members were: Ginny Weston, Bobbie St. Clair, Betty Cahall, Janie Lud- wig, Dinny Price, Ginny Thompson, Fran Lawler, Charlotte Nute, Jane Wrather, Althea Hooff, Jean Collins, Linda Thomas, Ruth Royal, Margo Boote, and Les Finn. Miss Mott’s new idea for an interclass badminton tournament produced excep- tionally good teams of four pairs of students from each class. Enthusiasm ran high on the evenings of the games and each girl showed what class spirit really is by a real fight for the “‘birdie.”’ The Varsity Badminton team had sched- uled matches with Brimmer School, with Pembroke, and with Radcliffe and Pem- broke in a Triangular Match. The varsity members were Anne Gladding, Nancy New- bert, Betty Meyer, Fran Lawler, Edna Hagedorn, and Theo Wood. The swimming enthusiasts were well- pleased by the exciting interclass and out- side swimming meets this year, especially by that 64-37 victory over Radcliffe. The annual Triangular Meet of Radcliffe, Pem- broke, and Wheaton teams: also ended most successfully for Wheaton. It was planned this winter to organize a club in which various swimming formations would be developed and perfected. During the past winter both Miss Brady and Miss Mott were qualified by Washing- ton to give the Instructor’s Course in swimming. Action { Page 22 }

Slice Spring Bowling took Wheaton by storm this year after the two alleys in the Student-Alumnae Building were opened. Mr. Lawley was chief instructor and high-scorer for the college experts. The Golf Tournaments in the fall brought victories for Wheaton in a Quad- rangular Meet with Radcliffe, Jackson, and Pembroke; in a Triangular Meet with Rad- cliffe and Jackson; and in a single tourna- ment with Jackson. Wheaton golfers who carried away the laurels were Peggy Wing (Captain), Ruth Eddy (Manager), Ruth Kerbeck, Margie Garrigues, Ann Hunter Hearne, and Laila Raabe. As usual, a Quadrangular Archery Meet climaxed the spring archery season, this time at Pembroke. In the fall, chief archers Edna Hagedorn, Ann Linton, and Vera Engelhardt inflicted a rather humili- ating defeat in the arts of Robin Hood and William Tell upon Mrs. Gallagher, Miss Rider, and Miss Mott. Good One! { Page 24 }
