Today it is imperative that every young person be well informed. How can we vote or converse intelligently as American citizens if we are not aware of what is going on in the world? A group of interested girls, realizing the necessity for informed students, began a World Affairs Club this past year. Some have been delegates to the Collegiate Council for the ,WO United Nations Conventions, both local and nation-wide. These conventions have enabled the girls to learn about other countries, as well AFP R as our own and to listen to and to meet world leaders such as Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. As participants in the Great Decisions CL television programs, each girl was given the opportunity to voice her own ideas and opin- ions. The World Affairs Club has been a broadening experience and has helped a few of the Garland students become more informed.

THLETIC ASSOCIATIO The purpose of the Athletic Association is to stimulate student interest and participation fe in various athletic activities, thereby creating a more unified school spirit. In the autumn, horse-back riding through the brilliant foliage of the Fellsway Reservation is stimulating and invigorating. The first snow fall is an indica- tion, to repair and wax skiis and to start any dry ski lessons in preparation for weekend ski trips. The club takes trips to some of New England's finest winter resorts. The University Club, in Boston, offers swimming pool and dressing rooms for either pleasure or for com- petitions. Bowling, tennis and badminton are offered at the Boston Tennis and Badminton Club. In the Spring, the Athletic Association takes advantage of leisurely sailing along the Charles River.
