All of the girls belonged to the same club, but they divided into smaller groups for their discussion periods. These periods were held every Wednesday during the school day, so that all the girls could attend. A different leader was chosen to lead each meeting which was conducted as a roundtable discussion. The ideals which the league stands for are fair play, courtesy, kindness, loyalty, consideration, sportsmanship, friendliness, and truthfulness. The girls have enjoyed these meetings immensely, and are very grateful to their teachers for helping with them. JUNIOR CLASS PLAY The Junior class of 1940 presented on November 1, 1939, the three-act comedy, “Sunbonnet Jane of Sycamore Lane.” The action of the play is centered on the young and fun-loving heroine, Jane Jasper. The setting is on a farm in Indiana. The cast was as follows: Sunbonnet Jane, Mildred Marker; Miranda Jasper, Jane’s aunt, Kathryn Probus; Grace Jasper, another aunt, Dorothy Petersen; Ollie Dinkle-bury, a school teacher, Betty Adams; Nola Miller, neighbor girl, Lois Jean Ryan; Crystal Cluett, Jane’s cousin, Barbara Camp; Schuyler Pell, Crystal’s boy friend, Don Romack; Toby Simpkins, neighboring boy, William Hendrix; Jason Gouch, the man with a grouch, Fred Evans; Douglas Smith, hitch-hiker, William Fleming; Marion Marsh, gentlewoman, Virginia Lux. • •• BOYS DISCUSSION GROUP The boys of the high school have also formed a club for the purpose of carrying on discussions on various problems which are not covered in our regular class room subjects. The boys are divided into four groups: seniors, juniors, sophomores and freshmen. These groups meet one period a week with their class advisers and discuss those problems which are considered most important by the members of the group. Each discussion group has a program committee and a chairman. The chairmen of the groups were as follows: seniors, George Loudenback; juniors. Bill Silver; sophomores, Robert Loudenback; freshmen, Richard Knapp. These chairmen conduct the meetings according to parliamentary law and direct discussion on the subjects selected by the program committee.

President............... Vice-President.......... Secretary and Treasurer Lena Cornelius Betty Doty ..Dorothy Bruce ... G. A. A. Peppy! That’s the word for the G. A. A. of B. T. H. S. On September 12, thirty-four athletically-minded girls held their first meeting. During that month the girls had a wiener roast. That was the picnic where Miss Ponder and Miss Ecklund imitated Louis and Pasteur. Later in the year, the freshmen were initiated into the organization with a kid party. Some girls even went so far as to have braids and imitation freckles. Another great event was the week at Camp Kiwanis where Miss Ponder learned just how much some of her girls knew about the preparation of food. The week-end was spent in hiking, swimming, tennis, and eating. The girls have participated in many activities such as basketball, volleyball, picnics, soccer, baseball, stunt nights, and play days sponsored by the G. A. A. organizations of other towns. From these they have developed such traits as cooperation, quick thinking, and self-confidence. Candy selling was their money-making scheme. On the whole, everyone is for the G. A. A. First How: 1’.
