MISS BEHR
IN the fall of 1929 all the girls who had won athletic "K"s met with Miss Kathryn
Behr, Physical Education instructor, to plan a girls' club. They adopted a
constitution and declared the purpose of the new organization to be "To promate
health education among the girls of Kewanee High and to sponsor and back
as far as possible all athletic events of the school". The Girls' Athletic Association,
as the new club was called, provided that any high school girls who had earned a
certain number of points in gymnastic work would be eligible to join.
This, the club's second year, was naturally more successful than the previous
one. We began our activities with a recital of local talent that proved very entertaining
as well as profitable. In Decemher, in the Knights of Columbus rooms, we
entertained the football team at a banquet, followed by a program and an evening
of games.
The first week in March we followed the example of last year by selling
candy and pop at the District Basketball Tournament. On March 30, at the Parkside
Hotel, we entertained the basketball team that made such a fine showing there
and in the Moline tournament. After the dinner there was an interesting program,
including; the awarding of the letters by Coach Anderson.
