 The Y.W.C.A. has announced an extensive program in sports, recrea- tionS, hobbies. The Health Educa- tion Council, headed by Miss Hulda Reichenbach, has collaborated with Miss Helen L.

 All Round Sports
 Tennis instruction will be given to class groups this fall for short per- iod beginning on Monday, October from to P. M. This instruction is for beginners only and will be limited to the technique of the basic strokes needed in the game, scoring and general play. All class members must furnish tennis shoes and if possible should provide the racquet with which they expect to play Reg iStration must be made in advance as this class will have a limited number of students. When the weather is good, the class will be conducted on a private outdoor court.
 Golf and horseback riding groups may be arranged through the Y.WC.A. Individuals wishing to learn either activity may leave their names on waiting list to be noti- fled when a group is organized.
 Swimming is year-round Y.WC. A. activity. There are classes for those who do not know how to swim at all, as well as classes for the swimmer who wants to improve her | strokes, to learn new ones, to dive or to learn more about diving. Because not everyone wants a swimming les son, the Y.WCA has swimming | period each swimming night when the pool is life guarded but no in- struction is given. Naturally, rates are lower for the dip period than the lesson periods and all courses are of short duration. In this way a girl can concentrate on swimming les sons for period of a couple of months or she can take lessons as long as she wishes throughout the year. Y.WC.A. swimming lessons are given on Thursday evenings.
 During October there will be a special period set aside on Thurs days at 8:30 P M. for those who wish to play team games in the gym. This activity night is open to any girl or woman who has Y.WCA. Medical examination.
