This group consists of 100 to 150 girls who not only participate in sports, but also those girls who like to be part of the fun by participating and or supporting the group. G.A.A. ' s officers include: Anna Ortega - Pres., Lizeth Delgado - Sec. Treas,, Suzy Martinez - Publicity Manager, and Virginia Gallo - Activity Coordinator. Once a month, for thirty minutes, they lead other members in planning activities for the future. Their activities included dances, outings with other schools, and a possible bike-a-thon. G.A.A. is an active group, supported by the student body. Whether it ' s at an away game or a simple pep-rally at home, the members always give 110%! G.A.A. is one of those groups who won ' t get lost in the shuffle with time. In fact, they just may come out head and shoulders above the rest. 1 Monica ' s explanation creates an amused and confused reaction on some of the club member ' s faces. 2.
