The Girls' Athletic Association is one of the most active organizations in Corcoran. It consists of a group of girls that get involved in different kinds of activities. The G.A.A. sponsors the Super Stars which is a tournament among several mem- bers of different girls' teams. The G.A.A. provides the trophies and the uniforms for the girls involved. Community projects include Christmas car- oling and stuffing stockings for the Fair- mount Childrens' Home. The biggest project this year was cleaning up the girls' locker room. The walls, lloors, and lockers were attacked with soap and water. Later thc walls were painted and thc Corcoran Cougar was painted on one of the walls. For fun they have tobogganing parties, an over-night in the gym, and a three day camp- ing trip in the spring. The G.A.A. is a very exciting organization open to all girls at Corcoran. 0 0 O 0 The F zghtmg Nlghtmga les One of the most popular extra-curricular activities at T.
