WOMEN ' S ATHLETIC COUNCIL The Women ' s Athletic Council came into being during the winter of 1935. It is composed of three elected officers and a group of managers chosen for interest and ability in the activities they represent. The present officers are Jessie Scheithe, president; Mary Farley, vice-president; and Virginia Gray, secretary. The managers are Edv ina Meyers, basketball and baseball; June Kresge, soccer and volley ball; Zdenka Pojeta, swimming; Jean MacKenzie, golf; Theresa Zimmerman, ping-pong; Grace Gregory, archery; Muriel John- son, bowling; Helen Drais, hiking; and Margaret Rago, tennis. The Council has tried to develop a broad program of games to increase interest in women ' s sports. As a result the schedule of events introduced by this group has shown a wide variety. With the aid of Miss Gertrude Byrne, the sponsor, the W.A.C. has enjoyed a highly successful year. The activities promoted thus far include intra-mural and inter-collegiate meets, tournaments, and playdays. School teams have been formed in all of the major, and in several of the minor sports. Members of these teams have competed with other colleges. The Women ' s Athletic Council has been very active for the past year and a half. Besides cooperating with the Physical education teachers in many ways, the members have sponsored several social events. The two most out- standing of these were the Splash Party held at Tower Towns in the Illinois Women ' s Athletic Club, to which every girl in the school was invited, and the Water Festival. The students will long remember the beautiful spectacle of the Symphony in Blue water ballet. The Inter-College Council, composed of members of the three city-college athletic councils, meets four times a year. Its purpose is to coordinate the activities of the colleges, to plan the yearly program, and to encourage friendship among the girls of Wright, Herzl, and Wilson. Page Seventy-six
