FIELD DAY — 1935
For the first time Field Day was held on a Friday afternoon. The Green and White baseball game, umpired by Miss Jean May, was the first event. The Whites were at bat first and were rapidly “struck out” by the efficient Green pitcher, Alicia Frost. One batter, however, had the satisfaction of hitting the ball, even though it went backwards into the crowd. Nevertheless, the Whites did manage to make a few runs, although the score ended in favor of the Greens.
The Green and White doubles tennis championship took place at the same time as the baseball. Betty Schoonmaker and Jane Craig, Greens, played against Betty Ivins and Betty Brown, Whites. This time the Whites were victorious, although Jane and Betty gave a beautiful exhibition of what tennis should be.
Next came the archery, which was won by the Whites with Jane Yeager Lewis having the highest number of points.
The event after this was track. The attention of the spectators was divided be tween the high jump and the broad jump, and, when those events were over, we watched the hurdling and javelin throwing.
The afternoon ended in the awarding of ribbons to the winners and of the Academic Cup to Norma Anderson, who has won this trophy for two years. Mary Clay received honorable mention. With the help of the many points scored by these two, the Whites were victorious over the Greens. The Elementary Medal went to
Shirley Eoff.

THE HORSE SHOW — 1935
The horse show last year was held on May 22, and we were blessed with perfect weather. There was an unusually large number of competitors and spectators. In the class originated two years ago for the alumnae, there were nine riders, and the blue ribbon went to Lucie Du Bois. Esther Barlow won first place in the jumping class for students and alumnae. Carolyn Waring won the championship amid cheers and honks. The second prize was awarded to Ridgeley Vermilye, who also captured several other prizes to add to the many she has won in our school horse shows.
The riders were bundled into cars by admiring friends and proud families; the “Good Flumor” man, after an afternoon of rush business, packed up; and we all went home. The horse show, one of the most anticipated and enjoyable occasions of the school year, was over. M. G. B., ’36
