Dancing and G. A. fix. Keep Girls Hopping and Skipping This year has been a full one for the girls gym classes. In ea1'ly spring and fall, tennis balls were kept bouncing as the girls turned out for the annual tournaments while basketball and volley balls furnished most of the mid-winter sports. Some of the more ambitious girls try out for G. A. A. or the Girls Athletic Association. However, the eight weeks of fol- lowing strict health rules that a G. A. A. prospect must endure seriously cuts down the number ot applicants. Those who follow the rules have no easy time. If you see a girl walk slowly past her favorite soda fountain with a longing look in her eyes, you may safely bet that she is a G. A. A. If you notice a girl glance at her wrist watch nervously about a quarter of ten, you should remember that G. A. A. rules demand that she be in bed by ten. Don't ever think, however, that these girls aren't proud of their letters when they earn them. The state Girls Athletic As- sociation has set standards that girls are proud to be able to meet. Although Arkansas City high school girls do not participate in inter-scholastic sports, the intra-mural volley ball teams fight for victory with much the same enthusiarxm one might expect at a Winfield-Arkansas City basketball game. The tournament this years was made possible largely through the efforts of Mar- garet Lowery, student manager. Dorothy White refereed at most of the games. Marjorie Stotfel captained the winning team on which were Marion Stoffel, Mary Alice Ryan, Laverne Frank- lin, Ruby Beebe, Wanda Christy, Francis Fields, and Zellene Blair. Color, motion and gaity come from dancing! The graceful abandon of the nymphs, the colorful exuberance of the Spanish dancers and the ethereal lovllness of the dancing lVlorning Glories were not just a background for the opera. Through their art the dancers swayed the moods of the audience attend- ing the operetta Oh, Doetorn just as did the singing. The dancers, nearly fifty in all, having been coached only four or five weeks, did not dance perfectly. Yet in the few mom- ents that they were on the stage they created lovlinss, which is, after all, the aim of every artist Jacqueline Burnett, as Hebe, the goddess of the nymphs of dew was the only solo dancer. Besides the ballet number which she danced with the nymphs of dew, there were raindrops, con- spirators, morning glories, and Spainish dancers, all coached by Miss Edith J. Davis. Before the opera much amusement was caused by announce- ments of dance practices. Such statements as Raindrops meet fifth hour today. and Conspirators meet in the auditorium, were a source of continual wonder to the uninitiated. During the second semester Miss Davis formed a new and popular class for those interested in dancing, called the rythmn class. In this group, girls are learning the fundamentals of danc- ing technique as well as building the muscles necessary for dancing. PAGE 10 ,Iiif- 'i1 i7EI'.'l' Colleixc Prep.

Girl Reserves Started Year With A Big party What's your name 'ZH f'You're my little sister. Where is my big sister? Have you seen her? Boy, are these lollipops good! Thus the Girl Reserves started the new school year with the Big and Little Sister Party, to acquaint new and old members. Following the big and little sister party was the recognition service which inducted all new members into the Girl Reserve Club. In November was Prayer Week, given by the Girl Reserves and Hi-Y together. Thanksgiving the service committee made and delivered small pumpkin pies to shut-ins. A little children's party was given by the social committee in December for poor children, and barrels of food, placed in the halls at school, were given to the Salvation Army. The Dad- daughter Feed, and Vesper Tea given with junior high and junior college were in February. The carnival with the Hi-Y and election of new officers came in March. Girl Reserves entertained their Mothers with the Mother- Daughter banquet in April. Also in April was Service Day at which time all the G. R.'s worked in the stores uptown to make money for the club. The year closed with the senior farewell, play day for junior high girls, camp election, and Sitting Up Conference when the new cabinet made plans for the next school year. The Girl Reserve cabinet created a new plan this year for holding its meetings. Formerly they had them Wednesday after school alternating with committtee meetings. However, this proved sometimes to be rather inconvient as it made the girls late getting home. Therefore, they decided to have their meetings at noon, and to have members of the cabinet bring their lunch. This plan worked very well, except for one time when the president, having been excited about her grade card, forgot about the meeting. However, it turned out all right, for she re- membered it in time to rush back and take charge of the last half of the meeting. Officers of the club this year were Madeline Miller, presi- dentg Marjorie Hadley, vice-president, Dorothy Heathman, sec- retary, Twilah Seefeld, treasurerg Jeanne Belt, Student Council representative. Chairmen of the various committees were Grace Newman, programg Kathryn Curfman, socialg Esther Sissom, finance: .Ruby Beebe, service, Alice Lewis, music, Vivian Logan, publi- cityg Virginia Amos, athleticg Marjorie Hadley, membership. Sponsors were Miss Helen Silverwood, head sponsor, Miss Edna Wheatley, Miss Lillie Nemecheck, Miss Olive Ramagc, Miss Alice Carrow, Mrs. Daisy Hamit, and Miss Esther Denton. Two women, Mr. Belt and Mrs. Harry Oldroyrl, were chosen honorary members of the club by the cabinet this year. Mrs. Belt wrote the following poem which was repeated by the pres- ident before each general meeting. There are many keys to- the doors of life, There are many keys both great and small. But love alone is the master key, God gives it free to all. PAGE 12 ALlSl'.7R'I' CANNON Imlustrial Coin-sc. ICUNICIEI CHANl'JLI?lt C0l'l1l'YlCl'C:fll Course.
