THE HUTTLESTONIAN 29 GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION T he first undertaking of the G.A.A. this year was a party for the freshman girls. Each upper class girl invited a “freshie” and saw that she had a good time. This was the first “welcome party” that has ever been given the F.H.S. freshmen, and the G.A.A. feels justly proud of being the first to have taken this step. Next came initiation—one which will not soon be forgotten by the girls. After going through the general stunts, each girl was requested to do some individual performances. Mary O’Leary, one of the most active freshmen, exhibited fine swimming form about fifteen feet high from the floor. Another feature of the after¬ noon was a race across the gymnasium floor with a mouthful of Epsom Salts. A pleasant task, indeed!! The programme for the day ended with informal dancing. Interclass hockey games are now over and Class A again won the championship. This makes the third consecutive year that they have been champions. The members of the champion team were as follows: Adaleita Hathaway . Right Wing Elsie Perry . Right Inside Nellie Coombs . Center Forward Mildred Bryant, Captain . Left Inside Anna Burke . Left Wing Ruth Jason. Right Halfback Anna Fernandes .Center Halfback Delphena Brown .Left Halfback Mary Sylvia . Right Fullback Marjorie Dexter .Left Fullback Margaret Gifford . Goal Tender The fr eshman class has some fine material. Class B will have to play their best brand of hockey to win against this scrappy little team next fall. Basketball is again with us, and once more F.H.S. is represented by a girls’ basketball team. We have some fine material and with proper practice and coaching hope to become a match for any girls’ team around here, and to uphold the fine records which our boys have made for Fairhaven High School. DELPHENA BROWN, Secretary, G.A.A.

30 THE HUTTLESTONIAN WHY BOTHER TO EXERCISE? T he aim of the girls’ gymnasium work is to develop each girl until, in her school work now, and her life work later she may live the most and serve the best. Joyous play, satisfying work, devoted service depend upon abundant health, easy and correct functioning of all parts of the body, mind, and spirit. Looking back through the biological ages we find that the physical being, the body, the bones and muscles are developed first and are basic. Developing after muscles and taking pattern accord¬ ing to their activity, come the mind and moral qualities. Nature spent an immense amount of time in developing muscles. They are the fundamental centers of endurance, which enables us to hold out against the strain and speed of modern life. The health of these fundamental muscles supplies health and tone to the finer and more delicate parts. As it was exercise through use that first developed the muscles, so it is exercise only that keeps them fit. Many forms of exercise are carried on in the physical education department. Outdoor games, field hockey, tennis, baseball, indoor games of simple organization, and basketball are taught. Track and field events are coached. Marching, dancing, and heavy apparatus work are presented. Formal exercise for the correction of round shoulders, hollow backs, and weak feet are explained. We offer such a varied program, in the hope that each girl will find some type of exercise that she will enjoy well enough to continue after her school days are over. RUTH H. CADY, Instructor. (Concluded from Page 18) listed the aid of my teacher, the traffic cop, the librarian, and the janitor, some of those words I shall never know. I have definitely decided that I do not care for motoring, but I am now wondering who is the happy possessor of that automobile! DORIS MAKER, ’28
