Each poussesses a well devloped game. Marguerite Holzbauer, director in charge of fencing, will meet with her class of beginners tomorrow morning for the first time. The new sport may not be considered a mafor actlvity this term, as it is still in the experi- mental stages, but the fencers will meet each Wednesday morning during the first period for instruction in the initial principles of the art. Katherine Knaebel and Anna Heid- der, instructors in charge of hockey, expect to call the first meeting of their group tomorrow afternoon, at which time plans for Fall practice will be discussed. Basket ball will hold a prominent place on the Winter program at the Mount Pleasant school. Hundreds of girls turn out each year for this ac- tivity. Only the sophomores, juniors and seniors are allowed to participate in the class and interclass games, but even with this restriction, the field of enthusiasts is much larger than in any other sport. Ada Moody will coach the sopho- mores, Charlotte Galpin will have the Jjuniors and Katherine Knaebel will | put the Seniors through their paces. Meetings of the various basket ball groups will be held next week, accord- ing to the coaches. Swimming classes also will get un- {der way next week.
