I Tennis Courts And Swimming Pool Activate New Interest In the GAA With a combination of bruised shins, lost balls, and hard fought matches, the mem- bers of GAA ushered in the T968 school year. The girls' enjoyment of the new tennis courts was obvious since they made almost constant use of them. Of course, there were many other activi- ties besides tennis. GAA girls were kept busy throughout the year by such sports as in- door hockey, volleyball, dolly soccer, bas- ketball, baseball, trampoline, and tumbling. The gym was open every Tuesday after school to enable all GAA members to par- ticipate in the activities. To give the girls even more opportunity to employ the school's facilities, play days were held throughout the year at CHHS and at various other schools. GAA served not only its members but the rest of the school as well. The Homecoming throne, which GAA constructed with the help of the shop students, was completed this year in time for coronation. The day after coronation, however, it was mis- placed. But, due to the combined efforts of CHHS students, it was soon returned to its rightful place. Another club service was the purchase of a sweater and a GAA emblem for Mina Mortazavi, the foreign exchange student from Iran. It was hoped that this gift would help Mina to remember her many friends in the GAA of CHHS. Color was added to the Homecoming festivities by the blue and gold shakers GAA sold for the pepfest and game. Enjoying the exhilaration of weightlessness for one fleeting moment, Marion Struzyk, senior, performs the spread eagle on the trampoline.

Editorial nd Opinion Page s Added To Pocket Gopher Editorials and Opinions - a complete page ot them was one ot the innovations of the 67-68 Pocket Gopher staff. This change al- tered the appearance of the newspaper by setting aside page two strictly for editorials. With no subject limitation on them, articles ranged from dress length to the grading sys- tem. Yet, the editorial on Valley ofthe Dolls was one of the most controversial. Adding an editorial cartoon series on page two was the second maior change the Gopher made. For this, the artist, Carol Ma- ciaszek, created an upperclassman whose name was Scottie. This character represents ed, along with other minor characters, the competition between classes. A clinic sponsored by the Minneapolis Tribune was attended by seven members of the staff in mid-November. They heard speakers, George Grimm and Bob Allison, and then divided into hour sessions tor gen- eral and subject information. The last ses- sion was an analysis period during which time the Pocket Gopher was examined. I if ' ' if .
