THE LANTERN 105 I Cjemzis 67mm The Tennis Team is a newly organized team, which may be rightfully called the Baby of Hibbard Teams. It was organized this spring, and entered the interscholastic tournament. Sylvia Lessin, as captain, and Fay Weinberg, as manager, head the girls. Their ambitions are high, and as the saying goes, they are, Shooting for a Star. The weather was not very favorable this spring and as the team was organized late, the girls had very little practice. But they hope to make up for it next year, and will try to be the early birds to catch the worm of success. Miss Hollenberger is their sponsor, and their home grounds for this year, at least, are Welles Park.

Miss MORSE The Girl Reserves have just been organized this semester by Sylvia Lessin who was unanimously elected president. It's purpose is to promote better womanhood. The organization is under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A. and corresponds to the Boys Hi-Y. Their symbol is a triangle with the initials G. R. inscribed. The three sides of the triangle represent Body Mind and Spirit , For recreation, these girls, go on hikes weekly and train for athletics. Most of the girls in some way or other are athletically inclined and so they have tournaments such as Tennis, Swimming, etc. Many of these girls are recognzed swimmers and have received life-saving trophies while others are tennis cham- pions and represent Hibbard Teams. Miss Hamilton, secretary from the main office, speaks almost weekly to the girls on Body Mind and Spirit , There is a summer camp at Millhurst for the Girl Reserves. This semester a candy sale will be held in order to raise funds to send Hibbard's representative to the yearly Conference. The dues are twenty-live cents each semester.

'THE LANTERN 102 G. A. A. The G. A. A., at the present time, has about six hundred members. All girls' athletics, whether as a team or a club, are under the auspices of this organization. At the beginning of the semester, each division room elects at delegate to attend the G. A. A. Council as a representative of that division. The Council, in turn, determines all the activities which are to be held. Hikes are held on XVednesdays, and two G. A. A. girls lead the hikers. Of course, the G. A. A. means Girls' Athletic Association, and, indeed, the association is everything that the name emplies. The G. A. A. awards letters for points which are made in and out of school. For 400 points the girl receives a triangle with a small H. For 800 points she receives a triangle, an H and an A. For 1,200 points she receives a triangle, an H and two A's, which complete the triangle. For 1,600 points a large script H is received. And for 2,000 points a bronze pin is given, which is the highest honor obtainable. The present officers are: Florence Krane, President, Virginia Aeppli, Vice-President, Georgia Schaper, Secretary-Treasurer, Sylvia Lessin, A's'st Sec'y-Treas.
