Athletic Association
The Athletic Association of Hartridge is a most active, live society. In its hands rests the activities of the school along athletic lines. And this year on the responsible shoulders of Julia Keedy has rested the welfare of
the association. We shall never forget those “first part of recess” meet­ ings in the auditorium, at which Julia curbed so well the spirits of the “madding crowd.11
Field Day
Field day was held at Oakwood May 20, 1922. The girls turned out with enthusiasm for the numerous events, among which the most popu­ lar were: the fifty-yard dash, standing and running broad jump, high jump, shot put, and relay races.
In the elementary department, which is to be congratulated on its splendid showing, the medal was won by Adrienne Linbarger of the seventh grade, and in the Academic department, Dorothy Knoepke, who
excelled in every sport with excellent form, won the cup.
The principal event of the afternoon was the horse show. Elizabeth
Nash was awarded the blue ribbon for the best general appearance and equestrian ability, and Marjorie Flofheimer carried off the honors in hurdling.
Tennis
This fall the tennis season began with the opening day of school. The courts w'ere in constant demand, as everyone was In good trim after the summer’s practice, anci wished to keep so for the tournament, which began two weeks later. All girls wishing to compete signed on the bulletin board. The re tvas such spirit that there were enough entries for five rounds.
The tournament was well managed by Julia Keedy, our Athletic Association president, and the final match was played off in the fall term
instead of being deferred to the spring term, as in previous seasons.
Phoebe Gow-Gregor won the cup through her excellent form and unusually good playing, coupled with a wicked underhand serve, and a
masterful backhand stroke. We would all like to live In England if we could learn there how to handle a racquet as well as Phoebe.
