As a strong and enthusiastic organization, the Girls' Athletic Association brings a sense of unification and a feeling of school spirit to the girls in the upper six classes of Friends' Select School. Among the many activities which it sponsors is Song and Cheer Day. Each class works avidly in hopes of winning points for their skit, song and cheer. Again in January competition is keen, for the Motlier and Daughter Banquet always means making original table decorations, pleasing more judges, trying to gain more points, and, last but not least, entertaining mom.l' In Nlarch, Intramural Basketball or Volleyball provides much fun and excitement for all the girls, and then in May, the Father-Daughter picnic enables us to show dad some athletic fun. Although a prize is given to the class whose girls win the most points through these activities, there is more to the G.A.A. than its point SySt61H. The real aim of this organization is to bring each class together and to give each girl a sense of responsibility, every girl in the upper school is a member whether she is active in sports or not. The Athletic Association offers its members opportunities for social as well as physical development through its social activities and sports events, Friends' Select tips its hat to an organization which has provided strength and unity, and which has prepared our girls for the future.

Wox'ki11g in conjunction with Master Ken Michael, it has striven to increase the value of the school's athletic program. The club was formed last year and this has been its first full season of operation. It replaces the old Boys' Athletic Association, which consisted of all boys in the Upper School. Most of these had no interest in its operation, and the large numbers made it impossibly unwieldy. The members of the new organization earn two varsity letters, thereby limiting the numbers to those most interested in athletics. The club has met frequently throughout the year. lVluch of the Work has been concerned with internal organization, defining rules, membership requirements, dues, and the club's duties. It has also worked with the coaches to distribute athletic awards, and has carried on the traditional Father-Son Banquet. The officers and members of the Varsity Club feel that great strides have been made this year, and believe that, in time, the club can become a vital organization in Friends' Select. Seve'nty'tw0
