The Girls' Athletic Association The girls in the class of '52 were among the first members of the Girls Athletic Association. You might say the Seniors and the G.A.A. grew up together, Long ago, in 1947, the G.A.A. began with such sports as volleyball, basketball, and softball. A few girls came out for practices and filled in the vacant positions witha few promising 8th graders- Thompson, Fu- chs, Frohlick, Gruben. Today the G .A.A . supports ten different activities including co-ed bowling, dancing, and individual sports. It boasts a membership of 119 girls including both junior and Senior High School students. It has had six play days with other schools during this past year. Who are among the leaders and best athletes of the G,A, A. today? Why of course--The Seniors. Besides fostering athletics the main object of the G.A.A. is fostering Sportsmanship and fellowship , Will you ever forget the lockerroom parties , the hiding of the class pennant, the trips to away games, the unposed pictures, and the attemptsat being Spaghetti Chefs ? One thing is for sure--We will nev- er forget the G.A.A.! 7' , -? 5 - i , ' I A 51: 1 ,7' , T i nl , , IWN' T' 5. P si nw w m,,.d-.,' ' 29

Closter High's '51-'52 basketball team came through with Coach Haworth in his first year at the healm with a fourth place tie in the B.C.S.L. In spite oflosing two heartbreaking games by one point, both to the same team, C1oster's Shamrocks ended their season witha 9win and 10 loss record. Closter is looking for- ward with high hopes to next year's team since this year's squad was formed by Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors, of whom our 6'1 Captain led the scoring brigade. Hats off from the Seniors, to an underestimated but not outfought Shamrock quintet.

Wrestling The Wrestling team, which is something new, started last year under the able direction of Coach Leonard Mott, Wrestling is quite different from the three main sports participated in at Closter High, and this season many enthusiastic fellows came out for it. This year the fellows had the capability and show- ing of a fine team, and we weren't surprised when they walked off with quite a few matches. 30
