The 1939 Summer Session has seen
the development of the most exten-

tory of the sessions. Dr. F. C. Allen,
recreational director, said yesterday
however that the program was
“really just getting under way.” He
plans to keep the things “rolling”
and his plans for next year feature

This summer’s program has in-
cluded picnics, open houses in the
Union building, co-recreational
swimming, games at the newly
lighted Quadrangle, and other sport-
ing events.

The Big Six National Softball
League title for the summer went to
the Wildcats, symbolic of Kansas
State College. The team was cap-
tained by Lawrence Stanton, and af-
ter winning the championship the
Wildcats went on to defeat the
League All-Stars 9-8 in an extra in-
ning game.

Cyclones Come Back

The Cyclones, after a bad start,
came back to finish second and the
Tigers, Cornhuskers, Jayhawkers and
Sooners finished in that order. The
Cyclones were aided in their blazing
finish by the pitching and hitting of
“Lefty” Joe Wilkerson.

After the regular season closed an
all-star team was picked from the
league teams, and were defeated 6.5
in an extra inning battle with the
North Lawrence All-Stars.

A highlight of Hill activities has
been the lighted Quadrangle, east of
Robinson gymnasium. Facilities

were provided for the whole family
and included equipment for shuffle-
board, croquet, volleyball, ping pong,
archery, badminton, and Goal-Hi,
Doctor Allen’s new game.

Picnics Draw Crowds

The first University picnic was held
at the gymnasium and drew a large
number of students and faculty mem-
bers. The second and last was held
in the Quadrangle and in Robinson
gymnasium and was one of the most
successful of the school parties this
summer. Good food and plenty of
entertainment proved to be a hard
combination to beat.

The open houses held in the Union
building had the regular term Mid-
weeks bested for variety of enter-
tainment, and refreshments were a-
vailable for guests as soon as they
began to feel the heat. Dancing, en-
tertainment given by students or by
imported talent, community singing
and other games combined to put
the parties over. Members of Doctor
Allen’s class in Community Recrea-
tion were in charge of most of the
summer’s entertainment.

Driving Range a Feature

The driving range back of the
gymnasium is an added feature which
will be carried over into the regular
school session. Doctor Alen plans to
light the range if the proper arrange-

 

 

Tennis ad golf tournaments have
taken care of these popular sports.
One of the most popular activities
has been swimming, and the co-rec-
reational “splash” parties have drawn

capacity crowds.
