Queens-Chicora College is going up
and up. And the Athletic Associa
tion has not been left behind in the
course of progress. This year a defi
nite day has been set aside as Atiiletic
Day. On Tuesdays there are no labs,
no classes, no meetings, and so each
student is able to particpiate in some
athletic activity. At 1:30 a class in
beginners archery is held; at 2:30
there is a class in advanced archery.
A fee of fifty cents is charged those
wdio do not have any equipment.
Those who wish may go riding at
2:30. For no extra charge the riding
instructor at the stables will give rid
ing lessons. A class in beginner’s ten
nis is offered at 3:30. The courts
have been scraped and lined. Now is
a good time to brush up on your form
in preparation for the tournament
next spring.
On some Tuesdays games will be
played or tournaments held. Tues
day, October 8, there is going to be
a baseball game between the Day-
Students and the Boarders. The last
baseball game between the Day-Stu
dents and the Boarders was an over
whelming victory for the Day-Stu
dents. This will be a chance for the
Day-Students to uphold their record,
or, perhaps, the Boarders will show
the Day-Students how to play ball.
Later, after the beginners have mas
tered the art, an archery tournament
will be held. Before Xmas there
will be an inter - class volley - ball
tournament. Later comes the basket
ball tournament. Which class will
win that cup? Will that Junior class
win it for the third consecutive year?
Or will the Seniors or the Sophomores
take them down a peg or two? And
everybody is wondering what the
Freshmen will do. Next spring swim
ming and tennis tournaments will be
held.
Riglit now everybody can take
swimming or life-saving at the YWCA
on Monday at 2:30 and at 4:30, and
on Friday at 4:30. The Red Cross
life-saving lessons are given on Mon
day, Wednesday, and Friday at 5:00.
