G.A.A. GAA and interscholastic girls sports groups worked together this year to offer sports opportunities to all girls in the high school and to increase GAA activities. Hiking, archery, field hockey, swimming, volleyball, dodgeball, bowling, softball, campcraft, and track were included in the year-long program. A successful candy sale early in the year financed the GAA program including full camperships for two camp delegates. A ski trip was also provided by the GAA for all students (boys or girls) between semesters. Part of the $400 sent by the GAA to the National Muscular Dystrophy Association was taken from the treasury. Most of the money was collected by members who went door to door or were stationed at special places around town on a Shamrocks against Dystrophy Day. A co-operative hike to Secor in the fall included 263 girls from eight different towns. El Paso hosted a state GAA workshop and a state GAA playday this year. The playday featured a quilt upon which a winning team placed their patch to determine the final winners at the end of the day. Six schools attended. Thirty-four girls were formally initiated into GAA at a supper held in Eureka in April. Mr. William Wagner showed a film and told about his visit to the 1972 Olympics in Germany. He also presented bowling trophies to: Gail Turner, Deb Lay, Sandy Rein-kensmeyer, Mary Sutton, Julie Breach, and Becky Dehority. The constitution was revised this year to include outstanding member awards. These were presented on honors day to: Senior, Regina Weber; Junior, Karen Krug; Sophomore, Pat Krug; Freshman, Karla Krug for their participation, sportsmanship, enthusiasm, and service in GAA.
