Have you ever seen a girl gleefully eyeing one of Murray's athletes? Surely she sees something that in- terests her. ls it the boy with his blond, curly hair or his broad shoulders? Nine times out of ten it is not the sports hero but his precious sweater that she has in mind. This is only one ot the problems encountered by members of the M Club during the year-who shall wear the sweater? The organization is composed ot athletes who have proven their worth in various sports and among whose members are many of the athletic stars of tomorrow. While the coveted letter is admired by the feminine population, only the owners know the hours of effort and toil that go into the earning of the attractive M. This year the M Club joined with the G.A.A. in sponsoring the homecoming dance and assembly. This event, traditional at Murray, is one that active M Club members plan tor, as the old grads return to see how the new crop of lettermen carry out the M Club's aims and ideals. President Ralph DeYoung planned with a committee for a social event in mid-winter, an old-fashioned sleigh- ride. However, Minnesota decided to have Florida weather at that time and the event was canceled. ln May two events of importance are on the calen- der. A letter assembly will be top billing at which time all boys who have earned letters this year will be given awards. A second event is that of the induction ot the senior members into the Murray Alumni M Club, an active organization ot former letter men. OFlicers during the year were: Ralph DeYoung, presi- dent, Bob Steveken, vice president, Gordon Lindgren, treasurer. Page Sfty-one

G. A. A. SETS SIGHTS IN '49 Be it baseball, swimming, or soccer, relaxation ot muscles is a must for success in sports. Delores Massie and Trudy Gerlach are in earnest about this game.

Below Joyce Oliver and Marlene Blomberg, left, race with Joan Strobeck and Mary Ann Nelson tor possession of the ball during a hard taught game ot soccer. 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
