The Girls' Athletic Association of Volusa lligh started three new things this year. First of all they played a volleyball game with Williams. The girls have not played games with another town for some years. This was a purely social game with refresh- ments served to both teams afterwards. Colusa won one game and Williams the other. Second, at the annual Girls' llate Dance the GAA. elected a King, t'lyde Wheeler. His attendants were Ted Scott and Lloyd Westphal. The gym was decorated for the dance in a kiddie-land theme. Mary Lou Hathbun was in charge of decorations and showed her ingenuity by having the bandstand built on the middle ot' the floor. The third new idea was the purchasing of G.A.A. sweaters just like the lilock t ' Y sweaters only in white with red stripes. In the way of making money the G.A.A. made pom poms to sell for football games and had the concession tor the Orland basketball game. The following sports were played in their proper seasons for after school sports: Volleyball under the management of lilsie Westfallg basketball under Peggy Skinner: tumbling under Barbara Guilianig badminton under Vivian Guild: and archery, tennis, baseball and swimming. The officers for a very successful year under the direction ot' Mrs. Arvella li. Melis, advisor were: President . ll'lar,iorie Crane Vice Presidelit lletsy llavison Secretary-'l'reasurer ..
