Although this may sound like a rather ex- treme method for dealing with recalcitrant fac- ulty members, it is actually only one of the many hilarious phases of the annual G.A.A.-sponsored Powder Bowl Game. This game, Iaughingly called football, is played between selected mem- bers of the faculty lanyone crazy enough to volunteerll and the girls ofthe G.A.A. The girls also play more serious games, such as hockey, basketball, and volleyball, among themselves and in competition with other schools. Organized in 1954, Wheaton's G.A.A. encour- ages in its members a truly sportsmanlike at- titude. The girls practice basketball in the gymnasium of Belt Junior High. any f- Miss Ahzderian confers with officers of the G.A.A. A. Langen, K. White, E. Amatucci, A. Plaia.

The Majorettes, under the direction of Miss Mary Jo Whidden, have been one of the high- lights of 'Wheaton's football games for the past two years. Late in l956, Mrs. Helena Mc- Namara replaced Miss Whidden as sponsor of the group. The girls marched in local parades, display- ing remarkable precision and teamwork. ln their attractive white costumes, braided with gold, the girls made a pretty picture as they marched and twirled their batons. Wheaton can be proud of its marching Majorettes! Majorettes Represent Wheaton at Games and Parades D. Coker, S. Bradfield, P. Green, J. Thomson, J. Saverino, B. Meehan, N. McCoy, L. Atwood, E.
