Under the sponsorship of Miss Katheryn Young, girls' gym instructor, the Girls' Athletic Association has prospered the past year and has been memorable for one hundred and sixty some girls. The officers for the troup were: president, Gwen Watson: vice-president, Dot Murray. and secretary-treasurer. Ina Barkley. The purpose of this club is to instill in its members a love of clean. good fun. and above all. an ideal of good sportsmanship. Monthly meetings were held after school. in which the vice-president kept track of every member's points. toward a letter. The first meeting of the year was in the form of a tea. During the year, two banquets were held. one in April. At each of these. those girls who had gone out for enough extra curricular sports to earn a certain amount of points. were pre- sented with the much coveted letter T . the goal for which all G.A.A. members strive. A sterling silver pin was adopted by the girls as the official emblem of G.A.A.

Girls Wlw Making a splash of color among those more conservatively garbed, enlivening the rather dark and drab halls of T. S. H. S.. the members of the Girls' T Club are easily distinguishable in their uniforms of red and white. The official uniform consists of white shoes, white or cream-colored sweaters, red shirts, and a large or small letter surplanted upon the sweater, To the left of the letter is placed the club emblem-a golden-colored, triangular-shaped pin with Girls' T Club inscribed in letters of red and white. The guard carries the date of graduation. Membership in this vividly-garbed group is obtained only after one or two and, in many instances, three years of hard work and perseverance. The first require- ment for membership is compliance with G. A. A. rules and regulations. Through a point system one amasses credits for participation in extra-curricular sports. To any girl earning two hundred points goes the small, white TH with a red back- ground. To the fortunate who earns three hundred and fifty points is awarded the coveted large. red T with a White background. In order to receive a large letter. each girl must participate in dancing. Any girl winning tennis letters or rifle team awards are eligible to membership. Initiation is conducted twice a year, and all awards are presented at the G. A. A. spring banquet. Miss Nelda Taffe advises the organization, and Wilma Resnikoff. tennis star. has been president for the past year. The executive committee includes Gwen Watson, president of G. A. A.g Joe Beverly Crone. drum major of the Girls' Marching Squad: and Helen Mayes. former G. A. A. swimming sport-leader.

CARTER RESNIKOFF SLATER WATSON CONDRON TEAM 'y .fd rw Cilirls lennis leam This year's Girls' Tennis team has stacked up well against the teams of other schools, according to Miss Katheryn Young, tennis coach. The teams chalked up a win against Phoenix here with a score of 4-3, and the Mesa Jackrabbits were taken 6-0. Tucson dropped a return match to the Coyotes 4-3 and to the Jackrabbits 3-2. The first teams consist of Wilma Resnikoff, Gwen Watson. Barbara Carter and Barbara Slater. The second teams include Ellen Lee, Ona Condron. Vera Schmidt. and Anna June Pottorf. Wilma Resnikoff was last year's state champion in high school singles, and Gwen Watson and Marietta Croswaite won second place in state doubles during University Week. Large letters are given for placing in the state meets, and small tennis letters are awarded for participation in four matches of which a certain per cent must be won. According to Miss Young, small tennis letters will be awarded to the follow- ing girls: Wilma Resnikoff, Gwen Watson, Barbara Carter, and Barbara Slater-it is impossible to know who will receive large letters until after the state contest. which was held after this article went to press. Miss Young states regarding this group of girls: This is the best group I have ever had. At the present time there are ten girls working hard in order to make the first teams next year.
