Transcript	j W.A.A. BOARD Bean Schnel Paulson Garo Bailey Parker WOMEN'S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION That amiable group of cherub-faced, tea- time nymphs, the W. A. A., opened the year with the absorbing game of volleyball, which, this season, rose to new heights, but interfered with the approved complexion of co-ed hands, that, like the lilies of the field, toil not, neither do they spin; so it gave way to field Wilson hockey with the usual crop of black and blue Bandy shins resulting from many supple and patient attempts to hit the puck. Trips to the swimming pool assuaged the desultory effects of hockey. The rippling waters cooled the glowing bodies of the ambitious girls; you see, horses sweat, men perspire, but women merely glow. Following the line of least resistance, the tennis court being next to the pool, some of the graceful co-eds became fascinated by this intricate game and indulged therein, a few becoming quite dexterous. Other groups, craving simpler amusements, thronged to the ping-pong tables. At this sport, a few who didn't smoke, and who ate spinach, became so proficient that they discouraged the others and this game ebbed to a stalemate. A trip to the scales now alarmed many young ladies who discovered that the avoirdupois was some ounces and a fraction above what the chart on the gym wall said the average girl of their height and age should weigh. In fear that the cream of their maidenhood was going to butter, hiking was introduced, and imagination is a wonderful thing. Newly sown wheat fields and freshly transplanted strawberry beds became rolling prairies and virgin plains. It shall never be said that incidentals like farmers' crops can ever interfere with women's athletics. "Westward the tide of empire makes its way." Screams, squeals and flying arms introduced basketball. Baseball was king for a day preceding the swimming season. The classes were very liberal in the way they sprinkled the lawn, trees and bushes with arrows in archery. A beauty contest was held to decide the winner, and Dr. Canfield presented her with his archery award. In closing the season, the girls tripped the light fantaistic in several interpretative "dawnces," including that difficult and intricate dance known as the "Mountain Lion Mazouka," the efforts being accompanied by spirited vocalism meant to imitate defiant scream of the panther in his native haunts. These cries, as well as the dance itself, were highly realistic, and the dancers were the recipients of many compliments. Miss E. Cost, advistor to the board of women's athletics and Katherine Schnell, its leader, are to be congratulated upon the success of the season. HEADED FOR THE BARN
