,, , gather- Daughter Qanquet On February 24, all the G. A. A. girls invited their fathers to be their guests for dinner and an evening of fun.

After the dinner, the men played all 8 sports competitively. A box of candy was given the group winning the highest score.

A tie pin with Dad initialed on it was given the king, the attend- ants received boxes of candy. They reigned during a small en- tertainment put on by classes: freshmen, pyramid building, sophom-ores and juniors, basketball quarter, seniors, 2 square dances. The fathers left proclaiming the Welcome Dads greeting on th-e wall really rang sincerely in their hearts. Guia Supporters As we climbed the ladder of success from Stand-Ins to Stars, we have had many hardships to overcome. These hardships would not have been overcome with-out the help of our teachers and our parents. They have played a great part in all of -our lives. It would take pages and pages to te'l you all the things you probably know - how these people, OUR SUPPORTERS, helped us through our trials and tribulations. In a few words we are trying to thank them for everything - little and big. It's very hard to do, but Mother, Dad, teachers, and friends, thank you! K .-77... lf'f .-f 0 cs 5 Q il Pe!
