Florence Korby. The Girls' Athletic Association, the only all girl club in our high school, was orginized fif- teen years ago, and its membership has been increasing rapidly. This year the membership is fifty. Any girl in the senior high school may join provided she earns twenty-five points by De- cember. In order to receive a G.A.A. emblem she must earn five hundred points. To receive a pin, which is awarded to her in the senior year, she must earn one thousand points. The G.A.A. participates in many activities. These include baseball, basketball, volleyball, tennis, hiking, skating and almost every outdoor sport. A G.A.A. conference is held every year and delegates from every club in the Arrowhead region are invited to attend. This is a big day for those who are privileged to attend. A variety of entertainment is available, and the girls of the different clubs get acquainted. Last year the conference was held at Cloquet, this year Coleraine is acting as hostess. The G.A.A. Variety Show has always been one of the outstanding events of the year. This year the program included both local and outside talent. This being leap year, the girls popped the question and invited the boys to a Leap Year Party which was held in the high school gym. Bunco and other games were enjoyed by those attending. Q Under the guidance of Miss Harney, our G.A.A. has proved to be a success. The officers are: President, Mary Francisco, Vice-President, Florence Korbyg Secretary, Genelle l-luffmang Treasurer, Mabel Esko. - twenty

B Squad tri. 1 Standing left to right: Floyd Huima, Viljo Ware, Roy Maunu, Howard Hemmila, Elton Lassila, Kenneth Erickson. Seated: Harland Juntunen, Burton Lehto and Howard Juntunen. Basketball The team passed through a successful season losing only three games in conference compe- tition. The Tommies along with Carlton represented the sub-district at the district tournament in Duluth. The team was unfortunate in drawing the tournament champs, Two Harbors, and it was defeated in the first game. Captain Edwin Koivisto, high-scoring senior center, was one of the finest offensive players Esko has had. ' Forrest Larson, senior forward, used his height to considerable advantage under the bank- boards. Kenneth Hallback, our star guard, was kept out by injuries most of the season. Oswald Koivisto and Edwin Bergstedt, two diminutive senior forwards, were a constant threat to the opponent. Leslie Seikkula, junior guard and three-year letterman, received the free-throw trophy for the second consecutive year. John Johnson, small but shifty guard, was a constant scorer all season. Bill Wainio, a three-year letterman, was out with a knee injury during the first semester. Clifford Johnson, junior forward, although handi- K capped by size, made up for this by continually out fak- ing larger opponents. Elton Lassila, playing his first season with the Tommies, was a consistent scorer. Last but not least there's Coach L. Knuti and Stu- ,MH dent Manager Bill Baisley. The boys enjoyed playing i under Mr. Knuti and they also appreciate the care the manager took in handling their equipment. The Bees copped the conference BH team title for the third successive season. nineteen -...-........--......,..,. ....,,...,..-,.,.7,.... .,,. ..... . ,.,-,,,, ,M -U-A 1
