Girls Basketball This year for the first time in the history of GHS girls ' basketball went intramural. For the purpose of giving more girls the opportunity to play basketball six teams, made up of girls according to their grades, alter- nated in playing each other. Under the leadership of Miss Sara Harrison and the managership of Edna Munford and Ann Hardee, the new set-up proved successful. The possibility of using the same plan next year has been discussed.
