May 9, 1908

Helen Clarke ’09 broke the running high jump record of Helen Babson ’05 at the annual Field Day with a jump of 4 feet 2 7/8 inches, 3/8 of an inch higher than Babson’s record, set in 1905. Miss Babson, assistant to the Vassar lady principal, ran across the field to present her with her grey championship sweater with a rose-colored “V” on it.

The sophomores won the day with 32 1/3 points to the 30 2/3 points of the juniors, the 28 2/3 points of the seniors and the 16 1/3 points of the freshmen.
