The Girls Athletic Association QG. A. A. J again claims over 120 in its membership. These girls participate in numerous organized activities throughout the year, earning points and credits toward the awards of letter, pin, and bar or charm, Among the sports offered are basketball, volleyball, softball, bowling, curling, and archery, with each activity lasting about six Weeks. To earn a letter, the girls must participate in four activi- ties over a two-year period. Each following year, two points or credits entitles them to first the pin and then the bar or charm. It is hoped that personal enjoyment ranks as high as the awards. Besides these organized activities, the club also en- joyed a roller skating party, a bowling party, a swim- ming party, a winter party, and a closing picnic. The sale of red or blue Gale-Ettrick- Tremplo T-shirts and several bake sales helped finance the purchase of the awards. ABOVE: On the count of 3 Squash'
