October 29, 1954 High Life Page Five WHIRLIEWIMMIN By Boots O’Briant Well, gals, it looks as if the water shortage lasted just long enough to knock out the possi bility of Senior’s having a speed- ball team this year. Miss Gabriel and the girls were almost ready to begin practice when they were forbidden to shower; and when the rains finally came, they were so far behind the other schools in practice that Miss Gabriel decided it would be better to continue with the athletic program now in pro gress. It seems, though, that everyone is really enjoying ^e recreational sports since all the girls are taking an active part in them. The three morning physical ed ucation classes have held contests in bowling and ping-pong. Win ners of first, second and third per iod bowling are Rosa Lee Pitts, Jeanette Brame and Geraldine Em erson. Winners of the ping-pong doubles for the first and second period classes are Marilyn Helms, Pat Copeland, Cynthia Hughes, and Jennie Lee. The third period ping- pong singles champion has not yet been determined: Sixth and seventh period classes are continuing with the First Aid course started several weeks ago. In about three weeks they expect to begin stunts and tumbling. Other classes will begin drills in Gabe’s famous military march ing in preparation for an assem bly the physical education students hope to present in January. The fourteen girls in second period phys ed will take up the study of posture, and Gabe will give them exercises to correct poor posture.
