Several Sports Citi ered One of the largest and most popular clubs at Sea- holm is the Gir1's Athletic Association, commonly known as GAA. GAA is open to all girls and anyone interested can become involved in the many athletic activities. Some of the sports offered are volleyball, basketball, softball, gymnastics, bowling and swim- ming. Girls who join the intramural teams in GAA are eligible to tryout for the varsity teams. Any girl interested in becoming a member of GAA must earn thirty points which are awarded for participation in an event or as a cageworker, an aquabelle, or as a cheerleader. Every Wednesday after school, intramural teams compete against each other for the championship in that sport. Once a month a GAA business meeting is held to which all girls are invited. GAA isn't limited to these two things alone. Other activities of the year include the potluck dinner in November and various tobagganing outings. Many money making projects are also held, including bagel sales and the operation of a concession stand at night basketball games. Probably the highest point in the GAA year was their campout the first weekend in June at Kensington. At the end of the year, the membership banquet is held. Awards are given out to the champions of intramural sports, and the officers for next year's GAA are announced. 1 181 111
