Promising Play

Frances Walker and Louise Kilton

ner and runner-up. respectively. Of
the Girls Annual Fall Tennis Tour
nament. Margaret Rice and Kath-
crime Shoemaker come Just short Of
getting their coveted emblems. For
tunately. both have another year in
which to play.
The games played in tho finals
and semi-finals were intensely inte--
esting. The girls do not exaggerate
when they say that the participants
are wonderful players. The final
game was played at the Euclid Ten
mis- Courts recently.
Three sets to be played. Miss
Walker appeared to have the advan-
tage at the beginning Of the contest.
Her play was consistently a little
better than Miss kilton's. The set
ended with the score 6-to-3 In her
favor.
SECOND SET EVEN.
In the second set. the score Ad-
vanced more evenly. Miss Kilton
played hard game, served superbly.
with the result of a score 6-to-4 in
her favor. After a short intermls-
sion. wherein the players partook Of
slight refreshment, the deciding set
was on. Both girls played their
best Miss Walker. as the better
player. won 6-to-a-
Just as well played and as excit-
Ing were the two games featured in
the semi-finals. Miss Hilton played
Katherine Shoemaker three sets,
with the scores, respectively, 6-to-2,
4-to-6. 6-to-3. The scores of the sets
between Miss Walker and Margaret
Rice were even better balanced. being
1-to-6, 6-to-1. S-to-6.
Frances Walker, who is a senior,
has been playing tennis not quite
one year. This fact merely illus
trates what native ability and a sum-
mer Of continual practice can do,
and casts no shadow of discredlt
on those girls who have been play
Ing for longer time and have
suffered defeat at her hands. Kath-
crime Shoemaker, for the third
time, has just missed winning her
In tennis. She played in the
finals and semi-finals of the two

Cadet Band Needs

The Cadet Band has had ten

a splendid showing.
For the first few days Sergeant
Driggers carried fifty men on his

present time, leaves Sergeant Orig

number, twenty-five are experienced

PantOn1ineS Prove

The Central Dramatic Association
has been giving a series Of panto-
mines lately, Of which the Beauty
Shop" has been the most successful.

besides the more important charac-
ters. The story is Of young lady
who comes into beauty parlor to be
beautified. She has her hair mar
celled, and facial improvements
made, until she is quite transformed.
Just at this moment her husband
rushes in and drags her out dis
gustedly. 1t was acted so well that
1t was given the night of the foot
ball supper.
So far the Association has not be-
come well enough organized to have
done much in the way of plays.
They have not yet decided upon the
Christmas play. but expect to make
the choice in the near future, and
start rehearsals at once.
Just who are to have the leads in
the Christmas and spring plays is a
matter of keenest interest to the
school. but no limitations are forth
coming from the association. Those
persons whose good, faithful work
entities them to consideration for a
major part are numerous, and the
decision will probably be made on n
basis of the candidates physical fit
ness for the part.

Work Cut Out For
Central RHIemen
BY j. w. CROCKETT.
Captain c. II. s. Rifle Team)


Centrals rifle team will have a big
order to fill this year, for from the
first Of November till the middle of
June there will be various matches,
occupying every available moment
the team can give. Each match ne
cessitates special practice, and with
no less than half a dozen in view,
the members Of the team will be
kept busy.
Last years team was of champion
ship caliber. The one this year
should be the same IL not better.
IL the number of boys competing for
this sport means anything In the
way Of realizing this goal. There
are only two "C'' men back. but
there are several who made a good
showing last year in the various
matches.
The teams former coach, Ser
geant Shriver, has agreed to coach
1t again this year. but his time will
be more limited than last year. due
to the increase of his work with tho
National Rifle Association.
He will have full charge of tho
team and will conduct the shooting
Of matches as in former years. In
der his supervision, the team expects
to repeat last years score made in
winning the Astor Cup. and also
come nearer than second place to
winning the National Intercity
Match.

IN HE Bon Secour Friendship
l. Club Of Central High School
has given its annual
rookie" party. This is usually
the first social event given by
hte Central girls, and is enjoyed
very much by all who attend.
One might. perhaps, compare it
with a debutante's "coming-ou
party, for 1t is, in way. the fresh
man girls first acquaintance with
Central society"
AZ there were 50 many first SEM
ester girls this year, some of the
senior girls gave an afternoon dance
for half Of them on November 9.
while the Bon Secour girls enter
tanned at the Y. w. c. A. recently.
FRESHMEN MEET FRIENDS.
AS each girl arrived, her name
was written on one side of a green
card and one side of a red card.
This was so planned that a fresh
mans name was on one side Of the
card and a club girls name was on
the other. At a given signal the
cards were matched and some time
was spent as each club girl became
acquainted with the freshman with
whom she was paired.
The club girls will act as big
sisters" to the freshmen all during
the year, and each girl has promised
to help out the girl for whom she
is specially responsible.
After several novel games had
been played. the victrola was started
and part Of the time was spent In
dancing and talking. Although
most girls like to dance and all like
to talk. none were sorry to adjourn
to the dining room for refreshments.
These, consisting Of hot chocolate
and waters, were greatly enjoyed
by all.
After refreshments, the girls again
danced and the party broke up about
five o'clock. All seemed to enjoy
themselves immensely and rated the
party a great success.
FORM ROOKIE CLUB.
Ruth Cole. the president Of the
Bon Secour Club. told the freshmen
that plans were being made for q
freshman club. which would soon be
formed. This announcement was
received with enthusiasm. and It was
evident that most Of the girls were
In favor of such a club.
The officers Of the. Bon Secour
Club for the coming year are as fol-
lows: Ruth Cole, president; Helen
Musson. vice president; Corrinne
Morgan, secretary; Ruth Williams.
treasurer: Estelle Gillchrist, social
committee chairman; Katherine

tor. The vice president also acts as
chairman Of the membership COM
mittee.
The Nifise Friendship Club, East
ern's newest girls club, started off
with a rush. They celebrated
Thanksgiving by giving aid to the
poor and needy of the city. The
girls enlivened the hearts of three
povertystricken families by sending
them well-filled baskets. On Wednes-
day afternoon a party Of the girls
went to tho CRildren's Hospital.
where they told stories to the chill

BY ED DUFFY.
TT is predicted that within
i year or 50 every student
enrolled in the Washington
high schools will be compelled to
take part in some kind of ath-
letic or physical training.
This idea has been partially
carried out this year, and school
authorities hope their plans for
even greater physical education
will be as successful as the
present accomplishments.
Stephen e. Kramer. Assistant
Superintendent of Schools. believes
that in the near future the Washing
ton schools will all have the benefit
Of competent physical culture ex-
perts.
Mr.. Kramer is an ardept advocate
Of the plan for increased health
training. and predicts the time of
its permanent adoption is not long
off.
INCLUDES EVERY STUDENT.
This new plan Of physical educa-
ton means that every boy and girl
In the high schools will be compelled
to enroll In physical culture classes
during the freshman year. Follow
ing this tedious term. the student
has a choice of several ways of do
ing the Same thing.
II boy, enlistment in the cadet
corps will exempt him from the
forced physical training. Either a
boy or girl who takes part in some
supervised sport-such as football.
basketball. tennis and the like. is
not required to enter the training
classes.
Calisthenics forms an important
part in the program under consider
alton. It IL hoped that q competent
force Of instructors will be secured.
90 the policy under way will be
successful.
A conference between Col. Wal
lace M. Craigie. instructor detailed
from the War Department with the
High chool Cadets, Mr.. Kramer, and
the high school principals recently
considered the proposition Of fixing
a standardized method of accredit-
ing cadet training.
Within a few weeks 1t Is believed
that no high school cadet will be
forced to take gym" training. as a
result of this conference. This will
increase interest in the cadets, as
the prevalent belief that the march
ing aids the boys as much as
athletics is causing some students to
look upon the brigade in a different
light.
CADETS GOOD STUDENTS.
The boys in the High School
Cadet Corps today represent the very
best of the boys in the schools, and
the student bodies are coming to
realize more and more the actual
value afforded by the training re-
ceived in drill.
1t was hoped some arrangement
to give cadets scholastic credits for
their work would be possible. but this
plan has disadvantages with which
tho authorities have difficulty in
copying. 1t cannot be seen how a
boy not taking tho training can be
accredited with these plus" credits.
20 no definite decision is expected
to be reached on this question in
tho near future.
A partial credit system is being al
lowed by the exemption Of cadets
nom physical culture classes.
