They were organized in 11 34 under the supervision of Miss Dorothy Steig-man. During this past year. Miss Eloise Shaw, through her energy and cooperation, has helped the club to continue its active program. Any girl who is willing to cooperate with the rules of the club is eligible to be a member. The group has a very active program which consists of volleyball, basketball. and baseball. During the early spring months the girls play baseball out of doors thus affording an opportunity for health and pleasure. Most of the winter months are spent playing basketball. The girls are divided into different teams and at the end of the season they have a basketball tournament. The early fall months are spent playing volleyball. Although the girls do not play this game very long, they enjoy it immensely. The G. A. A. held a play day on October 17. at which they entertained their Lov-ington and Monticello G. A. A. friends. During the day, they played basketball, soccer. and baseball. The girls were divided into groups with the senior members acting as head officials for the games. A prize, which was a small souvenir basketball or football with a ribbon on it, was given to each girl on the winning team. The members sell candy and taffy apples at basketball games and in the corridor during the noon hour. This money is used to help send the most active members camping on Lake Bloomington. They are chosen according to their willingness to help the3 association, their sportsmanship, and their adherence to health rules which they are asked to carry out. In order to help fill the treasury box. the G. A. A. gave a three act mystery play, “The Other Ghost.” on February 11. This money also will be used to help send their members camping. The club hopes they will be able to send more girls than they ever have before.
