Q. A. C. (Reirieu DEAR DIARY— One day in late September a notice ap- peared on the bulletin board which announced that the G. A. C. was to hold a steak-fry at the Lake Front Park and that any girls who wished to join G. A. C. should come. I was there, of course. The steaks were super; afterwards we played games, and everyone had a perfect time. bers brought a hot dish, rolls, milk, pickles, or a cake. Getting really ambitious, the G. A. C., Hi-Y, and faculty sponsored and honored the handsome Hudson High football champs at the annual Football Banquet. Each of us brought a salad or money. We also had charge of setting the tables and preparing the meal with the help of three N. Y. A. cooks. A couple of weeks later all the new mem- bers were initiated. We had to wear a night- gown and curlers in our hair! ! Did we ever look terrible! ! Each of us had a stunt to do. Mine was to sing “The Old Grey Mare to the tune of “America . It wasn’t too bad, but the next day! That was a different story. We had “G. A. C. painted on our foreheads with mercurochrome, and we had to do any- thing the old members asked, such as carry their books or kneel before them and repeat “You are superior, I am inferior . But after it was all over, I was thrilled to be a full- fledged member of the Girls’ Athletic Club of good old Hudson High with “Cap (Miss Kidd) as our adviser. For Homecoming the G. A. C. and Hi-Y took charge of decorating the halls. We made the cutest bow-legged cowboys to carry out the theme, “Howdy Irish . Early in November we had a supper, and we new members served. Each of the mem- After the Hi-Y Varieties, the G. A. C. and Hi-Y members danced and ate doughnuts and ice cream in the gym from 9:30 until 11:00. Late in March we had another supper. Rolls, milk, string beans, gelatin salad, baked potatoes, chipped-beef gravy, and ice cream were served. Maybe I had better tell you, Diary, just what this G. A. C. system is. Each class com- petes in speedball, kickball, volleyball, basket- ball, and softball. If I make the class team, I get points for the hours I play. Every member must earn 100 points to join and 100 points each year. If I earn 300 points, I will get an emblem, for 750 points I will get a small gold “H , and when I’m a senior, if I have earned 2,000 points, I will get a large, felt “H”. I’ve had loads of fun in G. A. C. this year. Diary, and I know I’ll never forget the excit- ing experiences we’ve had. SENIOR G. A. C. OFFICERS President ...................................
