This image features the Big Six Board, the W.C. Association, and the Silver Cup winners. In charge of the various fields of athletics open to women is the Big Six Board. It was composed of girls chosen to represent each branch of sport, and membership was considered a privilege by those in the Athletic Association. The girls aim to make competition keener and more interesting, thus keeping up the spirits among the participants. One method of arousing interest was to set a goal toward which every girl may work. Points were given for proficiency in the various games and as soon as 1000 are won a W.C. were awarded and a membership in the society of that name. The highest honor, however, that a co-ed may attain in the athletic field was a silver loving cup presented to any girl winning 1400 points and displaying a sportsmanlike attitude. In the image, The W.C. Association and the Cup Winners all had their W.C. sweaters on. The Big Six were pictured in a mix of street clothes and W.C. Sweaters. The administrative head during this time is Kathleen Lowrie.
