The first tennis matches for the year were held as usual on Old Girls' Day . Although we were not very successful, we had a most enjoyable day. Both the A and the B teams were beaten , but the C team saved us from entire defeat. Many t hanks to the Old Girls for giving us such valuable practice! Owing to such wet weather this year, some of the Inter- School matches have had to be postponed to third term. So far the A team has lost only one match to St. Hilda's, by one game , and the B team has not lost any . But the hardest match of the season is yet to be played, that against Somer ·· ville House . The Inter-Form competitions have just been completed. There have been many close and interesting matches , and congratulations must go to Ill B who did so well as to reach the final . But here VI form managed 1·o win. The school championships are now in progress and these too should provide interesting matches. This year we have had Miss Anderson to look after the tennis. She has shown her keen interest in our progress by supervising practices and giving her advice . Our thanks go once aga in to Mr. Moon coaching , and also to the girls who helped noon tea and scored for the matches . Criticism of the Team: for his valuable with the after- B. T. VI.

She would improve her game by moving more quickly on the court . MARGARET STUBBS-BROWN. Margaret has been a most reliable team member . Her ground strokes and service are sound , and she has a good volley. Margaret too h3s im- proved a good dea I. EDNA RYNNE . Edna h9s played consistentl y through- out the season . She has an exce llent off -court forehand , her service is quite good , but her backhand needs to be improved . Edna must learn t o concentrate more du ri ng a match . BERIS TOMKINS. Beris has played well in all matches. All her strokes are sound and she is alert on the court . She has formed a strong combination with Janice. B. T. VI. 22
