Girls’ Athletic Association Once each year the Girls’ Athletic Association transforms the gym into a wonderland where girls in frothy dresses dance and chat with their dignified- looking escorts. This year, December 13 was the special night of the G.A.A. formal dance, one of the social highlights of the year. Members of the club worked all day long on the decorations and achieved beautiful results! Carrying out the theme of “White Christmas,” the stage was decorated with a white flocked Christmas tree perched upon a snow bank. An enormous blue and silver star glittered behind the tree, which was flanked on both sides by glittering silver reindeer. A ceiling of white crepe paper was suspended above the gym floor, and silver snowflakes sparkled at intervals. Lounge furniture Colleen Finik, Vice President of G.A.A., presents a bouquet of roses to Carolyn Fejes, President.

Lettermen’s Club Sponsors Couples enjoy dancing and chatting at the Lettermen’s Club Dance. Cupid would have been enchanted had he been present in Griffith High’s gym the night of February 14, 1959. At that time the Lettermen’s Club’s annual semi-formal dance was in full swing. Lynn Marlow, Pat Larson, Jim Shearer, and Corky Root relax at one of the tables which surround the gym. The theme of the dance, “Young at Heart,” was carried out beautifully in the decorations. Red and white crepe paper constituted a false ceiling, and twisted strands of red and white formed slight “curtains” on either side. Sparkling red hearts were suspended from the ceiling. White-clothed tables for four surrounded the gym floor and added something new and different to the dance. Music was provided by the “Dukes.” Attention focuses on the Dukes who provided music for “the young at heart.”
