Nineteen boys met with these qualifications and were active members in the organization this year.

It has gained its influence under the capable leadership of the officers: president, Fred Davis; vice-president, Phil Iddings; secretary. Jack Manning; treasurer, Doug McRoy; chaplain, Bob Hartley; and advisor, Mr. Blair Irvin. Two projects were handled by the boys this year. They had a hayride, a picnic, and several pizza parties. The most outstanding activity of the year was the initiation of the pledges. These five boys went through the trying process: Jim Cassel, Gordon McMacken, Larry Henry, Tom Iddings, and Sam Bashore. All five came out on top and became active members in Varsity C.

GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION When you hear the bouncing of a ball, the scream of a girl, and the shrill blow of a whistle, don't get excited. It is just the Girls' Athletic Association being called to order by their advisor, Miss Fern Frey. Thirty-six girls were members of G.A.A. this year. These girls worked and played together under the able leadership of their officers: Gladys Orndorff, president; Jo Anne Moreland, vice- president; Charlotte Orndorff, secretary; and Keytha Carroll, treasurer. G.A.A. had two special projects this year. It prepared a Christ- mas basket for a needy family in the community and had a fall cook-out. Important activities of the year were: an ice skating party, hiking, and the learning of new and different games. 22 Keytha Carroll, treasurer; Jo Anne Moreland, vice- president; Charlotte Orndorff, secretary; Gladys Orndorff, president.
