Lillian Rixey, considered the fastest
wing in Westerns hockey history,
was chosen also as the outstanding
aA-around athlete of the school last
Spring. For consistent brilliance and
speed on the hockey field Miss Rixey
stands head and shoulders above the
average player, despite her bare five
feet in height.
On the tennis court she conquered
all corners, exhibiting the same agility
and steady headwork which marked
her career with the stick. On the
basket ball field she was the back
bone of her team. She captained the
1925 senior squad.
Six times winner Of the W. Miss
RiXey was awarded the athletic su-
premacy trophy last May as a climax
to her high school career. This is
the highest honor which can be
rendered an athlete of the Hilltop
school.
