Maiden Athletic Chiefs PINE job cf executing is done by the Executive Board of the Girls' Athletic Association. These twenty-one girls have much to keep them busy. They meet on the first and third Tuesdays of each month during eighth period in the gymnasium. Their most important job is to govern and direct G. A. A. classes, but this is not their sole duty by any means. They plan the lighter side of G. A. A. also, the team tryouts, and games, parties, hikes, and outdoor ac- tivities. Each spring the members of the board are elected by girls attending G. A. A. New candidates are nominated by the acting board, and all classes may vote. Two girls are nominated for each office which are either executive or for sport. The executive officers are president, Ellen Rowleyp vice-president, Dorothy Cotter: recording secretary, lanis Christenseny and secretary-treasurer, Revoida Wright. ln addition to the executive officers, there is a director or head for each sport in which girls participate in order to win points toward a letter. The class heads are for basketball, fieldball, tumbling, volleyball, kittenball, and tennis. There are also girls who head outside sports such as swimming, hiking, ice skating, roller skating, skiing, tobogganing, or golf. Other sports come under the miscellaneous sports head. This includes dancing, ping pong, shuffle- board, badminton, baton twirling, and various other games. Two other mem- bers of the board are the publicity manager and the girls' sport editor of the Times . The board usually has one party for their members only. This year it was a toboggan party. At the play-day at the University of Minnesota in the fall, most members of the board represented Central, both in the games and at the banquet at night. LEARNING THE GAME

Tribe ludges MID the shrill blasts of whistles and the glaring whiteness of a fresh white uniform, a referee is seen. These forty-six aids of Miss Emma V. Ryan's gym classes gather for their weekly council meetings that they may more efficiently help to lead gymnasium and G. A. A. classes. Miss Ryan selects these student assistants from those who have previouly signed up and volun- teered to work with her. The selection is also based on the girl's scholarship record. If Miss Ryan finds that a girl is failing in regular school subjects, she is removed from the list. The girls act for one period each week, taking roll call, refereeing class games, and often taking part in class activities. This year gym classes have played recreational games at which referees officiate. They are ping pong, shuffleboard, badminton, deck tennis, handball, and darts. These girls explain the rules of playing and score the games. They in turn, have learned how to play them at referee meetings. At these meetings on Thursday afternoons during eighth period, the girls learn new game rules, take tests, and are criticized on their class work. The new basketball rules for this year have been the cause for much debate in group meetings. During the two semesters they have taken basketball, fieldball, and posture tests. While refereeing a gym class, a ref is expected to keep order, record absentees and excuses, and help in class activities. The group discusses and constructively criticizes all these points. This spring nearly all the referees had some work to do in the gym demonstration. They had charge of seating arrangements and tickets. When the physical education convention was held this spring, Miss Ryan selected several girls from the group to act as gymnasium teachers at city grade schools.
