The members ot G.A.A., directed by Mrs, Inez Gugisberg, would not trade places with the pioneer girl ot '49 whose exercise was necessary toil without proper relaxation. Here in G.A.A,, high school girls have the opportunity to embrace one or more of several types ot sports activities. In the tall soccer was a popular game with many, although horseback riding was chosen by several members. The winter program of basketball, swimming, bowling, and tumbling kept the maiority ot the girls in trim during the dark season. At the same time seniors and juniors eyed their ever- increasing points necessary towards the coveted all-city letter. Spring brought a lively interest in tennis and baseball as well as in riding. The G.A.A. displayed talent in other ways as they sponsored social activities. The homecoming button sale and the dance began the social side of the year as the girls joined with the M Club in this school-wide undertaking. Coming up next Thursday, May nineteenth is the annual G.A.A. and M Club banquet at which time letter winners will be honored and new otticers announced. Page titty
