BEAUTY BOWS TO SPORTS Just as it is the aim of the youth of D. H. S. to attain the best in all activities, it is the special purpose of the Girls' Athletic Associa- tion to keep its members in the best physical condition and to provide that much needed recreation. G. A. A., the only organization in D. H. S. for girls only, met each Tuesday and Thursday night after school, using half of the gym for practice. Since G. A. A.'ers were restless at the be- ginning of the year, they hiked out to Twin Springs with Bette Dirks, hiking chairman. There they played games and served refresh- ments. To start the ball arollin', the hockey season opened, with Norma Langland acting as chair- man. This sport attracted many girls. even though every night somebody was hit by a hockey stick and bruised. A similar sport, soccer, was next mastered, with chill October winds some- times making the girls wish that they were clad as heavily as the gridiron boys. Delores Haugen was soccer chairman. To the rescue from the cold came volley ball, with Barbara Baker leading as chairman. Since everybody liked this sport, many disappointed sighs were heard when it was quitting time. The time for basketball, Queen of all G. A. A. sports. with Virginia Dahly chairman, finally arrived. These members of the fair sex tried desperately-and futilely-to get some of Al Hancer's boys for a game. Competition within the organization being keen, though, the tourna- ment, held as in other sports to determine which team had the greatest playing ability, was a fiery one. G. A. A. is interested not only in girls' recrea- tion while in school but also trains members in games to be enjoyed after graduation. lts motto is: Not a wallflower in the bouquet l ln order that everyone would have a fair chance, ping- pong, slnifiieboard, tennis. bowling and badmin- ton were divided into beginners' and advanced groups. Badminton. a new game this year led by Doris Halvorson, will without a doubt con- tinue to be a popular activity. Ping-pong, with Arneda Grindeland acting as chairman, is a skilled sport liked by everyone who learns to play it. lt was surprising how many girls went out for shuffleboard and bowling. minor sports. liucille Miller was chairman. ln tennis Mary Margaret Roberts, also chairman of the same sport, earned the advanced players' tennis crown. The club's contortionist, Virginia Johnson, tried to show the other members the various twists connected with tumbling. Most girls de- cided It's Nice Work if You Can Get lt, but they would prefer to let Virginia have it. ln spring, a young lady's fancy turns to- baseballf' Probably one reason this sport is popu- lar is that so many girls can play at once. Ardis Groth was baseball chairman. All of this is G. A. A.'s prescription for sports enjoyment. As the year is closed, the members can look back and say, The ball was kept arollin'-- but it could not have been so without the work of Miss Effie Neilson, sponsor, Phyllis Bridell, president, Amy Hovden, vice-president, Corinne Pole, treasurer, and Kathryn Seim, sec- retary.
