TENNIS Did you ever ask yourself why tennis, that' old game which Louis XIV used to play way back in the days of kings, has a place among the leading games of America today? Games are like friends; the new ones are good, but the faithful ones are better. They are better because they possess superior qualities. The superior qualities of our old friend tennis are many. For physical exercise and development it is one of the best. Every muscle of the body is brought into quick and vigorous action. Tennis also develops mental accuracy, promptness of decision, and ability to execute. Tennis is a game for all. It is the one game that can be played with keen enjoyment by both young and old, and because of this fact it carries with it a social advantage which can be found in no other game. Due to the lack of competitors the net game has never been an interscholastic activity in the school, but interest is growing and it will only be a short time until tennis will be a leading source of recreation and exercise during the entire year. This seasons series was fought with interest by the fans, and altho Mary Atkin and Coach Paxman carried away the honors yet they were put to the test in almost every game. SOCIAL HAPPENINGS The Sophomore Class members met on the lawn at the home of President Nicholes for their final round-u- p of the season.
