Alice Philpott, Recording Secretary G.A.A. COUNCIL s A very important part of G.A.A. is the council, which is made up of four officers, an advisor and seventeen managers. Gloria Gay, President, was elected by the girls of the entire student body in the spring a year ago. The other officers and the managers were elected at the beginning of this school year by the entire membership of G.A.A. The council met each Monday after school and planned all sports blocks and sports block activities such as playdays and dinners. There were four sports blocks during this year and each block was seven weeks long. They consisted of three or four differ- ent activities. The first sports block, volleyball, bad- minton and golf, was followed by a playday. This was the first special activity and the first area-wide playday held in the district. We were the hosts of Hayward, San Lorenzo, San Leandro, and Arroyo. Mrs. Slocum, Advisor Miss Geick Instructors Miss Vaz Mrs. Cannon
