SENIOR RAILSPLITTER 0 IANUARY, 1939 'lr if 17 GIRLS AND SPORTS T is probably the Wish of every true ' Lincoln girl to some day wear a mono- gram that she had earned herself. There are three sources in our high school by which the girls may earn monograms. One way is by playing tennis, another by playing golf and third is through the G. A. A. The G. A, A. is an organization of girls Whose ambitions are to become outstanding athletes. As an incentive COACH CRIPE to this goal, points are given in different fields. This point system is the basis of the G. A. A. While it might seem easy to most people to earn a mono- gram through G. A. A. it certainly is not because lots of points have to be earned before a girl is given a mono- grcrrn. G. A. A. girls put in hours and hours of hard work before they are rewarded with ct monogram. There are eight fields in which points may be earned and Porpoise and Leaders Clubs six of these fields must be earned. One of these is intra- mural sports-school sports such as games or matches in school. Another is outside activities such as ice skating, roller skating, skiing, horseback riding, bicycle riding and hiking. Another field includes service such as supervising of games after and before school, working around the gym and working in the gym office. All girls must have at least a B Posture before they can get a monogram. They must also get passing grades in their gym work. The first G. A. A. monogram is called the m Numeral, To receive this monogram a girl must have acquired 300 points. The second monogram is the L. G. A. which is given to girls with 500 points. The third is the All-City L. D. M. which is given to the girls who have earned 1000 points. For each 500 points earned, thereafter, an L.D.M. monogram is given with extra bars on it indicating each extra s or points. There has been but one girl in the whole history of Lin- coln high school who earned 2500 points. This honor was given to Kathleen Lenius, a Iune '38 graduate, Those girls who consider athletics one of their hobbies belong to these clubs: 'HBACK ROW: Palmer, Cartmill, Roberts, Adair,-Ponzelena, Colony, Martz, Larson, McCurnin, Clark, A.
