Intramurals are sponsored by G.A.A. in archery, badminton, bas¬ ketball, bowling, hockey, softball, swimming, table tennis, and volley¬ ball. Members will recall the annual slumber party where sleep was for¬ gotten while everyone ate, danced, played volleyball and basketball, and viewed a midnight program. Other equally enjoyable activities include the bowling party, the Pa and Ma party, skating party, and the Home¬ coming dance and decorations which the group sponsored. All of the projects and programs of G.A.A. help to fulfill its purpose of promoting sportsmanship, fellowship, and interest in athletics and the out- of-doors for all high school girls. The Watchtower camera catches a candid view of a bloodthirsty battle between seniors and juniors during basketball intramurals.
