Because Of numerous requests for
mems volley ball group, plans are
being made by the YMC.A. Physi-
cal Activity Committee to conduct a
volley ball class each Thursday eve

Sis to $50 p. m. This time was
suggested because 1t will enable the

time when the class will not inter-
fere with any evening plans.
Volley ball will be the main fea-
ture of the gym period. However, if
there Is sufficient interest in any
other gym activity, then there will
be an opportunity to enjoy other
games in addition to volley ball.
Numerous requests have come to
