The purpose of the club was explained to them and fourteen freshmen girls were made pledges of the club. After the pledges have made seventy-five points they are initiated at a special service. They then have to make twenty points a month. The club seeks to promote ath- letics and encourage companionship among the girls. The club was originated in 1936-37 under the very capable leadership of Miss Jessie Frisby. A rural field day is annually sponsored by the G.A.A. Each summer the girls rent a cabin and spend a week at Lake Bloomington. All girls earning five hundred points receive a letter. Seventeen girls received letters this year. Seven hundred fifty points entitles a girl to a medal, one thousand points entitles her to an emblem. Each Senior boy who has received three athletic letters is awarded a medal by the G.A.A. This year's officers are: President--Violetta Wilfong Vice President--Maud Heiple Secretary--Kathryn Eigsti Treasurer--Pauline Kaufman News Reporter--Margaret Ann Taylor -23-
