Tlic }£clto Annual |jagc 47 Girls ' Athletic Association The Girls’ Athletic Association met at the beginning of school to reorganise the association. The officers elected were as follows: president, Mary Katherine Fisher; vice-president, Ruth Moose secretary, Ruby Strange; treasurer, Pauline Daniel; reporter, Mary Ruth Foster. The constitution was read to the new members and emphasis was placed upon that part of the constitution which expresses the pur¬ pose of the organization, which is to develop among the girls of the High School a greater interest in athletics, and to promote a spirit of fair play. Basketball has has been the chief sport in athletics this year. Owing to the fact that the organization did not have an indoor court the girls lost most of their out-of-town games. In the tour¬ nament the Juniors again won the silver cup. The advisors for the past year were as follows: Misses Tanner, Johr son, Baines, Freeman and Graeber.

Pcuu ' 48 ' Site li’flui Annua! 1 922 Pupils Visit to Washington Tthe latest and one of the best projects that our High School has advanced and completed this year was the trip of some of the pupils to the National Capital. v The idea of going was formed by members of the American government and History classes, taught by Miss Jessie Lawrence, but as all of these could not go so members of the various history classes were invited to join the party. When the final plans were made it was found that sixteen students were going. The party was composed of: Miss Lawrence, Mary John¬ ston, Mary Small, Lola Shore, Mildred Trexler, Virginia Rogers, Julia Johnston, Willie Meta Brown, Hazel Hudson, William Gard¬ ner, William Shuping, Spencer Jackson, Lewis Rufty, Ashton Dan¬ iel, Alton Finger, Harry Emerson and James Sheaf. On April 13, we left Salisbury full of enthusiasm. The object of the trip of course was to learn of tfhe political and historical life of our country. The Capital, as the home of our government, impressed us very much. It gave us a respect and reverence for the government which we could not have otherwise had. We were especially impressed with Congress because we knew that some dry we would be citizens and voters and elect Representatives and Senators to that body and perhaps some of us would be mem¬ bers of it. The Pan-American Building, an emblem of the friendship be¬ tween tthe two Americas, was very interesting. The tropical gar¬ den on the lower floor and the great assembly hall upstairs, where the representatives meet every month, were beautiful. This room was especially interesting because the Arms Conference, about which we studied last fall, was held there. From our study of the State and War Building we were made to feel the importance of those departments of the government. In add ' tion to those mentioned above we learned from the Nat¬ ional Museums, the various departments of the Smithsonian Institu¬ tion, tthe Library of Congress, Mt. Vernon and the Corcoran Art GaUery, of the wonderful resources of the United States and of the develo me ' ' t of her life along industrial, scientific, educational and historical lines. One of the most lasting impressions we received came up as we • iewed those places which told us of the noble sacrifices our nation h - s made in defending her honor and in helping to save and serve hum nity, the most notable of these being Arlington Cemetery and the Red Cross Bui’ding. After a five days stay in Washington we returned to our reg¬ ular school life feeling that our trin had been worth while and hon¬ ing that each year the pupils of the Salisbury High School might have the privilege of such a trip.
