In award ing the stick, V'ir£»inin (inrnett, jn’csidcnt of -yie Junior Class, said that, the nwai’d was made on the basis of athletic ability, sportsmanship, teamwork, atti tude, loyalty to the team, and co operation. It is not an award solely for individual stavdora, but for all-around ability, and will ingness to cooperate with team mates. The announcement that the stick had been won by Mildred Eaton was received witli a burst of applause Avhich readily con veyed the idea that the student body agreed with the decision of the Juniors and wore in approval of the general ability of this Freshman player. There is no denying the fact j:.hat Mildred is one of the best all-around hockey players on the campus. Coming to Meredith without ever having any training whatever in hockey, she began with . determiimtion and soon developed into a fast and accurate player. She first played in the forward line at in ner, then was shifted to half back, and then to full-back, and playe(J all positions witli equal case and dependability. The fact tliat Katon was equally good in all positions and readily available wherever needed was one of the reasons that the Freshman team was as strong as it was. 1 TAYLOR’S 1 CHRISTMAS GIFTS J PERMANENT WAVES $3.50 up We take pride in eyer7 wave, and strive to make it satis factory in every way.

Initial Mjuad pi’actiees have been held during the past week, and a gi'eat deal of good material comes to the foreground. In sjaite of the fact that they have lost Sawyer and Hinkly, the Senior team gives promise of be ing t)ne of the best. Virginia (ireene, Catherine Hawkins, Miriam Brady, “S]»eck” Harris, I’at Abernethy, anil Kathleen Riddle are some who have already )'C])orted for practice. The Junior team is probably the strongest on the campus at the present writing. With such players as Martha Davis, “Gin- ny” Garnett, Miriam Wilson, Eleanor Rozar, Katherine Davis, Peg Legrand, Vara Lee Thorn ton, Ella Lee Yates, and Ruth McCoury, the Juniors ought to have little difficulty in giving l)lcnty of competition for any team on the camjjus. Their .strongest jjoint is perliaps their abundance of reserve powei', Tlic Sophomores have also been weakened by the loss, of two stars in Virginia i’errcll, who was Individual high scorer last veai'. and Dura Jones. However, they still have plenty of pep left and are j)lanning on re]>eating their victory of last year over the class of ’34. Luna Jackson, Marg. Greene, Elberta Foster, Va. Scott, Mae Marsliburn, Cattee Moseley, Reba Parker, Alma Kee, Mary Carter Nooe, and Mary A. Lewis turned out for the first practice. The Freslmien, of course, have the largest squad out. So far, it is still an open question as to who «'ill play the first string po sitions. They have come out with tiieir usual pe)> and enthu siasm and promise to give atiy team on the campus a run for their money. Hazel Boswell, Christine Adams, Mildred Eaton, Catherine Liles and others indi cate whiit material is at hand, and there arc numerous others who are in the race for regular positions on the team.
