The Am in French and the students from for American sports reign supreme on | the athletic field, however. Basket | ball, dodge ball, corner ball and end ball are the four games included in the program which is carefully super- vised by Virginia® Griffith, athletic di- rector of both the Maret School and the Georgetown Convent of the Visita- tion. In addition to the organized games, | Miss Griffith inaugurated a field day last year, which will be an annual feature of the athletic program. Mary | | Stuart Luttrell was the high-point winner in the initial event. Miss Lut- trell also won the physical training ze offered by Miss Griffith to the student most proficient in all physical afning ‘work' during the yéar.” = ° ° ket ball is the most popular sport at the school. The students range in age from 8§ to 12 years— with the exception of a few high school students—and among the juniors the boys’ teams oppose the girls' teams in the majority of con- tests. “Team captains are elected in a novel manner. Iach week during prelimi- | na practice a girl and a boy are chosen to captain their respective squads temporarily. After all players have had a “try-out” at the job, the groups elect a permanent captain by popular ballot, subject to the approval of Miss Grifith. Permanent leaders will be elected shortly after the holi- days, as most of the tossers have served their turn as trial pilots. Miss Grifiith states that the girls have won the majority of the games played so far this season. They are faster on their feet and more accurate in passing. The boys are better guards, however, and if they increase their speed a little the girls will have a hard time scoring against them.
