RA.A The major purpose of the G. A. A. is to stimulate interest in girls' ath- letics and to promote higher ideals of health and sportsmanship. These girls besides winning awards, learn to work with their teammates, follow directions and rules, and develop alertness. Experience in cooperation and fellowship is also provided. To become a member of the organization, a girl must earn 100 points by becoming a playing member of a team. The captainship of a team entails extra credit points. When a girl has earned 400 points, she is awarded her numerals. After earning 600 points, she receives her letter. A medal is the reward for earning 1000 points. Baseball, tennis, hockey, and basketball are the sports in which the girls may participate. Swimming parties and social events are provided for entertainment, and meetings are held regularly throughout the year. The local club, consisting of forty members, is affiliated with the State or- ganization. Alberta Kanthack is the club president, and Irene DeLaby is secre- tary-treasurer. Miss Ruth Anselm is faculty adviser. HUME ECUNUMICS The Home Economics Club, an all-girl organization, is one of our largest club groups. All girls who are regularly enrolled in sewing or cooking classes are eli- gible for membership. One of the high lights on our social celendar is the annual Mother-Daughter Banquet, which is managed and financed entirely by the girls of this department. The display of interesting proiects and the style show given each year as a part of the open house program are the results of the cooperative efforts of these girls. With Miss Zachary as adviser, Alberta Kanthack as president, Eunice Molidor as vice-president, and Marjorie Kirk as secretary, the club thrives under able management. IUURNALISM CLUB In its second year, the Journalism Club has advanced in both membership and ability. With Jane George, editor-in-chief, Kathleen Pearson, city editor, LaVerne Lipka, club editor, and Signe Olsen, society editor, the club has made a place for itself in Grantis busy activity life. The club has contributed a page to the Waukegan News-Sun each Week. Leaders in community life have been interviewed and publicized, and all school news has been printed on that page. In Mr. Orr of the faculty and Mr. McNearny of the News-Sun staff, the club has had excellent counsel.
