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.

Setting and Table Manners” and

exchange class a lesson entitled
“Easy Conversation.”
Miss Dolphine Cobb, a home ec
student from Woman’s College re
lated, “The plan gives to students
an overall view of Senior High
and a presentation of ‘How the
Other Half Lives.’ The teachers
feel that the project is very worth
while and from the interest shown
by the students, it looks as if the
exchange is here to stay.’
