G. A. A. continued sponsoring after- game dances again this year. The dances, like all G.A.A. dances, were big successes. On December 'l6 the G.A.A. mem- bers proved that they were not only rillo, Rita Ruiz, Gail Moore, Sarah Swingle, Kathy Sharr, Phyllis Sharr, Ccpvble athletes bull also asplrlng musl' Miss Jean Stewart. cians, for they spent that evening sing- ing Christmas carols to shut-ins in homes and hospitals. Sixty-seven new members were initiated on January 18. As usual, old members spent weeks prior to ,this date thinking up horrible tasks for these girls to perform. The most horrible, of course, was the annual denial of conversation with boys for the initiates. But then no boy would want to talk to a gal with her hair half combed and lipstick half on. More than one initiate was seen crawling to class during the day. At the close of this hectic day, a pot-luck supper was enioyed by all the members of G.A.A. The executive board went on a frolicsome trip to the snow in March. A few members added skiing to their list of achievements and a few bruises and bumps to their anatomies. In April the G.A.A. sponsored its first playday with the help of the Lettergirls. A circus theme was chosen. Each school participating put on a skit worked out around this theme and all the decorations were done in the circus theme. Banning, Beaumont, Hemet, and Palm Springs were invited to send representa- tives to take part in the individual and team sports. To bring another successful year to a close, the Lettergirls and G.A.A. co-operated to have a Mother- Daughter Banquet on May 20. The new officers were installed and G.A.A. letter winners were honored. Miss Jean Stewart and our new gym teacher, Mrs. Betty Hoff, who replaced Miss Carolyn Fisher, were the G.A.A. sponsors this year. Their wise advice was a great help in this year's activities. G.A.A.
