RECREATIONAL PLANS
NOW UNDERWAY
Everyone on the campus seems
to be enjoying the recreational
program offered to the students
of W. G. C. This program is un
der the supervision of Ruth
Sturgis, head of the Physical
Education Department.
Games are offered to everyone
wishing to participate. Shuffle
board has the attention of a
number of students while some
prefer Rook, Chinese checkers,
or various other games.
Dancing has attracted most of
the students. Some are learning
to dance, others dance very well,
yet we still have some who can
not get up the courage to try.
Even with all tnese, some pre
fer to sit on the sideline and
watch, although most of them
take part in something.
The students, as a whole are
very proud of their recreational
facilities, and are looking for
ward to plenty of fun the rest of
the year.
