LOOKING AHEAD IN GIRLS’ ATHLETICS
The importance of athletics increases each year.
The physical and recreational, social and moral, as
well as scholastic effects of this extension of ed
ucation, offsets in some measure, the debilitation ef
fects of life in a machine age. The current philosonhy
of school education is to "educate the whole child" and
the tendency is to extend athletics to as many partici
pants as possible, through intra-mural sports.
The prospects in Girls’ Athletics at Delhaas was
very encouraging this year. Everyone was pleased to
see the new uniforms when school opened, as well as the
new hockey sticks.
Next year we will be playing hockey in the Lower
Bucks County Girls’ Hockey I.eague. Cheers!
Our basketball practices were interrupted temporar
ily/ because of the unfavorable (cold and/or wet)weather
and the fact that we were unable to provide transport
ation for practices at the Y.M.C.A. The obstacles were
"surmounted", and buses were made available early in
the season.
We played softball in the Lower Bucks County Girls’
Softball League.
There is a possibility that the 1956 Olympics will
be held in Philadelphia. Wouldn’t it be an honor to
Delhaas if one of our alumnae was a contestant?
