In the academic year of 1940-41, the Senior Honorary Awards went to Margie Ellis (left) and Alfie Gabriel. This was the highest honor a girl can receive in the women's athletic department. The awards were made on the basis of participation in sports, service such as membership on the W.A.A. board, general ability, and good sportsmanship. Margie and Alfie were chosen by a committee composed of one gym instructor and one representative elected from each of the classes. Two young women wearing gym suits of differing colors, each holds a basketball in front of them. As noted in the caption, the emphasis was not on being the best skilled, but on a variety of other factors. The administrative head at the time was Kathleen Lowrie.
