It enters a float in the Homecoming Parade and has a booth at the Athletic Carnival in addition to its own social activities. These activi- ties range from school dances and co- recs to our annual initiation of new members. One ot its major projects is sending two girls to GAA. Leader- ship Camp each year, There the girls discuss the activities of their own or- ganization with other GAA. members from all over the state. They learn new games and activities which will help to improve their own club. This year our GAAA was host for one of the semi-annual Play Days, Held on April 13, the girls from eight schools enjoyed the various sports and the chance to meet once again girls from neighboring schools. , X I
