Softball classes hove enjoyed increasing popularity at Wilson. Each semester more and more girls come out to play this popular American game. Regardless of her skill as a player, each girl de- rives enjoyment from the game and feels a sense of sportsman- ship. Furthermore, the girls learn to appreciate the game more as played by others, since they un- derstand it better. Coached by Miss Estelle An- gler, the girls first learn the rules of the game, and then practice the techniques of the various posi- tions — catcher, pitcher, first-, sec- ond-, and third-baseman, short- stop, right field, left field, center field, and umpire. During the second part of the season the girls were divided into teams which played one another for class championships. Team games were managed by Donna Frasemer. Then, at the end of the season, an all-star team was chosen from the girls in all the classes. This team played in inter-collegiate competition. FIRST ROW: Aldonna Snekutis, Teresa Caruso. Irene Churran, Eleanor Nesby, Leona Wolf. Adelaine Goodman, Lope Theodores. SECOND ROW: Alma lochera, Elaine Anderson, Jane Flinn. e4iC44Uf The girls ' Fencing Club meets every Friday afternoon and is coached by Miss Estelle Angier.

RalkeiUU Basketball, t h e international game, is known and played in many lands. Here in the United States it is the most popular sport, judging by participation and gate receipts. That most persons find it to be the most satisfying of sports is also shown by the large num- ber of Wilson women who played basketball this year. The program for each class was divided into two periods. The first of these was given over to prac- tice, with the beginners, in one part of the gym, struggling with rules and basic techniques while the experienced players, in another part of the gym, were per- fecting their skill under the expert coaching of Miss Ruth Berg. Experts and novices were even- ly divided into teams to play dur- ing the second period. Team games, managed by Ruth Fogel, were characterized by exhilarat- ing rivalry. SEATED: Eleanor Nesby, Lorraine Palmer, Lope Theodores, B. Templer, Irene Churan, lane Flinn. STANDING: Lucy Hubbard, Leona Wolf, Alfreda Ponder, Miss Ruth Berg, Ruth Fogel, manager. QoH Every Tuesday afternoon, dur ing fair weather, the W. A. A. golfers go to Jackson Park to put techniques mastered in winter season classes into actual prac- tice.

Volleyball, originally scheduled as a winter sports activity, proved to be so popular that it was placed on the spring sports pro- gram. The girls learn the tech- niques in the classes and practice in the open periods. At the close of the season an all-star team was chosen to participate in a Sports Day program. This team also is- used an invitation for a game to the Chicago Teachers College team, their friendly rivals. Miss Augusta Swawite spon- sored volleyball activities. Vivi- enne Swanberg was manager of the sport, filling the vacancy left when Lope Theodores became an officer of the Women ' s Athletic Association. LEFT TO RIGHT: Lorraine Palmer, Lucy Hubbard, Mildred Turnquist, Margaret Wurstbaugh, Gloria Seismore, Alfredo Pander. The swimming season opened this year with a very successful splash party, which featured races and games. Then, with Miss Estelle Angier as coach, the girls began their work on certain re- quired tests equivalent to the American Red Cross Intermediate Swimmer ' s Test. Upon the satis- factory completion of these tests, the girls were awarded a special blue suit. To interest other girls in swim- ming and to allow more practice time for members of the swimming classes, an open hour was offered every Monday afternoon. There was an enthusiastic response to this plan. Many swimmers took advantage of this period; some used it for relaxation and enjoy- ment, while others trained for par- ticipation in the annual spring Intercollegiate Telegraphic Swim- ming meet. Fall semester swim- ming was managed by Elaine Canfield. Mary Ann Morris was the spring semester swimming manager. SEATED: ROW: Ml f I ' linn.
