ef' 'Z E Q55 as ,Ill N The GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION in its initial year of operation has established a code of rules which will govern all girls' sports activities. This code will be the basis for determining participation requirements in the various sports. Actively engaged in this work are: Seated.: Mary Ellen Opalinski, Miss Dolores Franz, Moderator: Tonia Prelewicz, President: Anna Zienkiewicz, President-elect. Standing: Margaret Necel, Rosemary Sheldon, Susan Rohrdanz, Julianne Rajnisz, Dale Dumais, and Kathleen Majka. F' .- ii-... xeeearf o Through the efforts of our energetic physical education instructor, Miss Dolores Franz, the girls of Bishop Gibbons High School engage in a fine assortment of intermural and intramural activities. These include badminton, basketball, bowling, and volleyball. In the physical education classes, the girls receive instructions in softball and golf. The art of cheerleading which involves endless skills and talents in gymnastics, theatrics, and showmanship, is also part of the girls' athletic program. At the beginning of the school year the girls who are interested compete for places on a squad of eight cheerleaders. Our Varsity and Junior Varsity squads, vivacious and precise, spark up enthusiasm and sportsmanship in all sport activities and pep rallies throughout the year. The girls' work in all these endeavors does not go unrewarded. Most coveted of the awards is the Most Valuable Player Award given to the recipient by her fellow teammates for her participation in sport activities, her sportsmanship, responsibil- ity, courtesy, cooperation, and school spirit. For being the victorious basketball team in intramural competition, the Home Room Team receives the Sister Mary Annelle Award. Likewise, the Father Schoy Award goes to the victorious volleyball team. Bowlers of the high three game series and high single game of the year receive trophies as do the School Bowling Champions and intramural league winners. Trophies are also awarded to the win- ning school championship badminton team. Besides intramural activities, students may receive the privilege to represent Bishop Gibbons in the intermural activities by means of the honor teams. Honor team members and cheerleaders are eligible for receiving a school letter. Individual participants in school sports activities also receive participation points. The Ath- letic Achievement Award is given to any student in the Senior Year who has earned a total of 70 or more points. 86
