The spring officers were: Elizabeth Haley, president; Lillian Frances, vice president; Elisa Knops, secretary; Lucile Walker, treasurer, and Ruth Jones, song leader. Giving of awards was introduced last fall when girls who made three hundred points in sports were given class numerals ; girls with six hundred points, diamond R ' s ; girls with nine hundred points, block R ' s , and girls with twelve hundred points, G. A. A. pins. These awards have stimulated more interest among the girls for after school games. Members of the G. A. A. owe a great deal to the instructors. Miss Jennie Hansen, Miss N ' essie Hobbs, Mrs. Lillian Schuette, Miss Florence Jones, and Mrs. Ada Dykes, who show a great interest in the interclass activities of the girls.
