Women's Athletic Association ESTABLISHED 1917. The Womens Athletic Association is one of the most important college organizations for it aids the college girl in developing a well- rounded personality through interest in athle- tics. The promotion of good sportsmanship is one of the primary aims of the W. A. A., as are teamwork and reliability. The W. A. A. has been much more active this year than for several years previous, part- ly due to the fact that the physical education directoress, Mrs. Kirby, is a resident on the campus. Her interest and assistance have done much to promote the Association ae- tivities. The revised charter prepared this year by the officers of the Association with the help of Mrs. Kirby provides a much fairer system of awarding points than was used formerly. As usual however, 35 points in one year entitle a girl to her insignia. 45 points a numeral, 75 points award her a letter, and 135 points a blazer, There is a great variety of sports from which a girl may choose her activities. Swim- ming, hiking, tennis, soccer, basket ball, soft ball, track and gymnastics are some of the important sports for which points are awarded. Varsity, second, and squad teams are selected by the physical directoress, the presi- dent of the W. A. A. and a sports representa- tive chosen by the girls. These teams are composed of the best players and are chosen for sportsmanship as well as ability to play. The members of the Varsity team are awarded 15 points, second team members are given 10 points and squad team members are awarded 5 points. The climax of the years activities is the banquet held in iN4ay at which time awards for the years achievements are given. The an- nual May fete, a college tradition, is presented by the girls the same day. A senior girl is chosen queen and a senior boy is chosen car- dinal for the occasion which provides a fitting climax to the year's activity. Toi' Row-D. Ellis, Kir- by. BOTTOM Row- B.

Club Two other members of the Drama Club, Paul Mitchell and Bob Kenoyer, gave a most gripping presentation of T h e Unknown Soldier Speaks in November. The story takes place at Arlington cemetery at the shrine of the Unknown Soldier one evening at dusk. The soldier reveals his identity as the misrepresented soldier from every nation who sacrifices his life and all its potential happiness for an idealism which never existed. This was presented at many Oskaloosa churches and others as well, including Des Moines. In addition to the plays mentioned, the club has cooperated in various college pro- grams, At the Christmas vespers they por- trayed biblical scenes with musical accompani- ment. The Nativity, The Coming of the Wise Nlenf' and 'iThe Coming of the Shep- herds were very beautifully represented. Other members presented skits and short plays at Opening Reception in the fall, ban- quet programs, and Open House. They as- sisted in producting l'The Rock, given at the Lenten service. lt is a representation ol the strength and weakness ol Peter's character and the final victory ol the lormer at the time ol the resurrection. The group was handicapped the second semester by the action ol' the college council in regard to the calendar. With no scheduled night for meetings, it was difhcult to find an open date, but they have done as well as pos- sible. Upon the resignation of Bettie Edwards, there has been no president elected and the ofhce of Vice President was vacant. Peggy Cheairs, as program chairman, assisted by Nliss Xloe, has acted as president the last semester until other officers could be elected. C50 Toe Row-Fletcher, Gil- bert, S. Jones. P.

The Green Peppers have really gone to town this yearl If you don't believe it, and ofcourse you do if youve been on the campus, just look at our record: Two ol the college yell leaders, Moana lvlcliarlan and Bernice Alcorn, were chosen from our group, We liked the old yells, but we thought there weren't enough of them so we spon- sored a yell contest-which another Green Pepper, Nadine Sparks, won. We were johnnie-on-the-spot Home- coming day, and took an active part in the parade. We were active supporters at the football and basketball games, and in our estimation we out-yelled any other group. That is, pre- sumably a matter of opinion, ol course. At the St. Ambrose game, the Green Peppers, among other groups, sent a telegram to the basketball squad to show our support and good wishes. We understand none ol the telegrams were received until alter the game, but our intentions were good! To help make money and as an insignia we bought green and white Penn pennants. which we carried at all the football games.
