The winter term opened this week
with an addition of four girls to the
dormitory family. This brings the
number OF resident girls up to AZ,
which is by far the largest number
of girls boarding at Oak Grove since
the present dormitory was erected

dotes OF French history, Debout

about Paris au Moyen age besides
the announcements.
The speaker at the mid week meet
ing at il o'clock "Wednesday morning
in Sophia Bailey Memorial Chapel
was Miss Harper of the faculty. TAX
ing as her theme the Educational
Value of the Bible, Miss Harper
spoke in manner that was not only
forceful but pleasing and inspiring.
Winter sports have been ushered
in at Oak Grove with enthusiasm and
every girls program for recreation is
so arranged that she has at least
one period of outdoor recreation
each day. With the opening of the
winter term the new gym. schedule
has come into effect, and the impos-
sible has been attained, in that all
the girls are delighted with the
schedule. AS the Oak Grove program
is now organized. the upperclass
girls have regular physical training
for three quarters of an hour each
Monday and Wednesday Immediately
after the last class. During this time
the rest of the girls have their out
door recreation with q choice of
horseback riding, skating, walking or
any winter sport they may elect. At
the close of the period the under
class girls who wish to make the
team for basketball have their reg
ular practice under the coaching of
Miss Crossley. On Tuesdays and
Thursdays, the programs are exactly
the same except that the underclass
girls have their physical training and
the entire program is run through
with all groups. having the alternate
program. The classes in physical
training are aimed to scientifically
develop correct posture, muscular
tone and good health. On Friday
the gym. class is voluntary and the
entire period is elevated to euryt
les and aesthetic exercises to develop
poise and grace. At the close of the
class, the girls who wish to go out
for a varsity basketball team are
coached by Miss Crossley. The same
girls may also have an hour OF
coaching on Saturday morning. Miss
Crossley's policy is in harmony with
the administration at Oak Grove and
while a championship basket ball
team may not be developed. 1t is
quite certain that there will be
great deal of fun in playing off the
matches between the classes in COM
petition for the beautiful silver cup.
Last year it was won by the class OF
1928 and it is obvious that these same
lasses are quite determined to again
win it.
