Goed Anciien4f Coeducational sports activities are becoming increasingly popu- lar with Wilson students. Archery is one of the favorite coeduca- tional sports. Each semester the archery squad looks forward to an invita- tion from the University of Chi- cago. They participate in a Columbia Round at Dudley Field, and usually give a good account of themselves. In favorable weather the arch- ers practice at Jackson Park. Miss Augusta Swawite is the instructor for this sport.

Social dancing, a coeduca- tional class instructed by Miss Augusta Swawite, ranks very high in popularity with Wilson stud- ents. Beginners in this class are gradually and skillfully led into the art by developing a sense of rhythm and balance. Basic steps are then learned. Correct ballroom technique is stressed as an im- portant feature of the class. For those who are more advanced, practice periods are held in which new steps and dances are taught. By the end of the semester, how- ever, it is difficult to recognize who were the novices among the dancers. Poise and skill are evident among the dancers at Wilson so- cials, as a result of students ' participation in the social danc- ing class.

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.

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.

1e uu4 In the warm weather, Wilson students may always be seen on the tennis courts playing during their free periods. When all the courts are in use the students go over to Hamilton Park courts to play. The tennis manager and her assistants were out on the courts on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from three o ' clock to five o ' clock, and gave instruction to any one de- siring it. Elimination and round robin tournaments are held every se- mester. Last semester Betty Graf was the winner of the elimination tournament. She was awarded a gold cup at the W. A. A. banquet held at the close of the semester. The fall tennis manager was Elaine Anderson; the spring man- ager was Loretta Hirsch. Miss Ruth Berg is the coach for tennis. SEATED: Lop© Theodores. STANDING: Leona Wolf, Glecena May, Elaine Anderson. The only award that is given by the Women ' s Athletic Associa- tion is a gold monogram pin. To qualify for this pin a girl must be an active member of the Women ' s Athletic Association and she must meet the college requirements for extra-curricular activities; she must participate in three or more of the organizations activities; she must show ability and also show technical knowledge of the sports in which she has participated; she must show good sportsman- ship; she must give service to and show an interest in the Women ' s Athletic Association.
