Calverna Linse. gym instruc- tor, scheduled most of this indoor work during the month of Feb- Girls ' Athletics Takes Advance Girls ' athletics have advanced rapidly during the past year, spurred on by the Girls ' Athletic Association, which is in its first complete year. Distinction is given this organ- ization in that it is the one girls ' organization in which member- ship is obtained only by exten- sive effort put forth for a lengthy period of time. Out of the 224 members of the grades, only 1 13 belong to the G. A. A. This institution, under the guid- ance of Calverna Linse, physical education coach, and honorary faculty advisers Ruth LeMunyon and Twila Hanst, has not only created among the girls an inter- est for interclass competition in sports and a desire for fair play, but it has also been a great asset to clean social development among its members. A Christmas party, followed by various candy sales, and a St. Patrick ' s party filled in the first part of the social year. The two final affairs of the season, a gar- den dance given April 16, and the annual banquet, given May 21, were most remarkable for their completeness of theme and suc- cess. Officers of the club for the year were: Myrtle Honsal, president; Nellie Mabrey, vice-president; and Lucille Hicks, secretary-treasur- er. Officers elected for the incom- ing year are as follows: Velma Hanst, president: Mary Lou Ab- shier. vice-president ; Leslie Mc- Kissick, secretary; and Florine Jordan, treasurer. ruary. when the weather would not permit outdoor activities.
