WAA All Wilson women are automatically members of the Women ' s Athletic Association sponsored during the fall season by Dr. Mary Goddard, and now sponsored by Miss Claire O ' Reilly. Active membership, however, requires participation in at least one of the activities sponsored by the group. Activities follow a sports calendar which divides the school year into three sports seasons: fall, winter, and spring. Each is twelve weeks in length and includes the sports typical of that season. Some of the sports offered are table tennis, bowling, badminton, golf, swimming, archery, bicycling, fencing, volleyball, hik- ing, tennis, and softball. Each sport is under the super- vision of a student manager and is coached by one of the physical education instructors. The governing body of the WAA is the Women ' s Athletic Council, which consists of the four officers, the various sports managers, class representatives, and faculty advisers.

I Included in the outdoor sports program are horseback riding, hik- ing, and bicycle riding. Horseback riding, managed by Shirley Selby, and coached by Miss Estelle Angier, takes place in Chicago ' s parks, in Cook County forest preserves, and along the Midway. Hiking, managed by Leona Wolf, and coached by Miss Ruth Berg, is participated in every week, weather permitting. The hikers have become acquainted with the city parks, the county forest preserves, and also have learned to cook in the open. These ambitious women hikers also took several overnight trips. Some of these trips were taken along with the bikers. Perhaps the most notable affair was a hike to the Promontory at 55th Street, ending with a steak fry. The bike riders, supervised by Marilyn Weiner, and coached by Miss Angier, have taken short day- trips in addition to their trips with the hikers.

In spite of its early meeting hour — eight o ' clock on Friday morning — badminton, sponsored by Miss Estelle Angier, proved to be a popular game. Badminton was one of the sports on the winter sports calendar. The first part of the year found some players gaining preliminary instruction and on appreciation of the game while the more ad- vanced players practiced, improv- ing their skill. The girls then ar- ranged a series of singles and doubles tournaments and made a practical application of what they had learned. These team games were managed by Emily Weicke until she transferred to another college; then Evelyn Nordgren was appointed as her successor. A coeducational singles elimina- tion tournament, won by Elaine Radio, closed the successful sea- son of 1940. SEATED: Evelyn Nordgren, manager; Irene Churan. STANDING: Leona Wolf, Lucy Hubbard, Glecena May, Judy Car lson, Elaine Radic, Hannah May Dalzell, Lope Theodores, Alfredo Pander.
