In the Fall members of the G.A.A. went to Paris for a Play Day. Another Play Day was held in Martinsville in the Spring. During the Christmas holidays, the annual party for the under-privileged children was sponsored by the G.A.A. Several social activities have been held this year. In the Fall a party was held at the park and all freshmen were given a special invitation. The club also had a Halloween party which was a complete success. A combination Home Ec. and G.A.A. party was held in February. This, too, proved to be an evening of merriment. The purpose of the G.A.A. is to promote a greater fellowship and a deeper understanding among the girls of Casey High. Ramola Perry. Martha Lou Gard.
