Over the Net! Congratulations to the volleyball winners—it really was fun while it lasted and we're all for more and better volleyball tournaments! This idea of hall competition really had good effects. Indeed there were many competitors present who, no doubt, would not have ventured onto the court had not this method been utilized. And they were good,too!
Swing that Mallet! On with the same—come one, come all to the croquet game on the lawn—summer brings in one of the nicest outdoor games that we have—so get out and play! As yet no champions hold sway. The title is ready to be awarded. The only requirement is to be there and offer your own challenge.
Flash—They're Off The big track meet is about to take place—the sophomore gym classes, altogether, have been working for days
on the great event There will be high jumping, broadjumping, relays, timed racing, distance throws, etc. Come to see your favorite event.
Onward Farmville!
Elections in all of the sororities on campus have taken place
recently. Allene Overbey will succeed Nancy Pierpont as president of Sigma Sigma Sigma. Other officers of the chapter are Eleanor Folk. who succeeds Helen Seward as vice-president; Louise Sanford. who succeeds Rachel De Berry as recording secretary; and Jerry Smith who succeeds Jane Lee Hutcheson as corresponding secretary. Harriett Scott was elected treasurer. Jo Ware succeeds Louise Painter as president of Pi Kappa Sigma, while Jeanne Sears will replace Boonie Stevenson as vicepresident. Ellen Royall succeeds Kay Phillips as recording secretary; Peggy Hughes remains as corresponding secretary: and Gerry Ackiss will fill the former position of Ruth Winstead as -reasurer.
That was just the bestest A. A. installation ever—not only solemnity but pulchritude as well—congratulations to the new A. A. council, and we're right behind you in everything you attempt. Bulls-Eye!
Robin Hood Invades Who is that? Surely it couldn't be Robin Hood and his merry band. But they are merry, and the arrows are really whizzing. Oh, of course! It's the archery gang practicing up p.gain. Everyone should go out for this tine sport right away—just truck right down to the athletic Held and they'll tell you what to do. The tournament field has been changed from Longwood to the athletic field. This change was made in order to enable more to enter the contests. No excuses now!
Hit that Hall! Yes. it's almost time for the tennis tournament, so all you eligibles be ready, and all you 'not BO good yet' people be practicing up. Will it be green and white or red and White? Time will tell.
Aquabelles— Been swimming lately? Well, here is your golden opportunity! The pool is open every Friday afternon, besides Saturday night, which should give you plenty of time to brush up on those neglected strokes or learn some new ones before the beaches open or you leave for camp. Perhaps you will be a star of the houseparty or save someone's life— you better be prepared for whichever it is!
Giddap Horsie You don't have a car? Well—Get your old walking shoes for these beautiful spring days, and just spend all your spare time enjoying the lovely countryside. There are woods, mountains, or for just a short hike, Longwood. With picnics and May Day practices coming up, you will have plenty of chances to exercise yourself in walking. And speaking of May Day—that great event is less than two weeks off—all the costumes are nearly finished, and the hard practice is really beginnig—morning, noon, and night from now on we will really be working, but the final result is bound to be more than worth the effort, so go to it!
For the Draft Along with everything else, may we again remind you of the Spring Horse Show and the Intermediate and Beginners' Riding classes. Don't forget to sign up right away! Maybe you'll have a chance to train the cavalry, for the army this summer or maybe you'll be drafted, you never can tell exactly what will happen next these days, so be prepared!
