 imion Q. A. C. (Rauiauy HIS fall we eighth grade and freshman girls organized a Junior G. A. C. Our chief aim is to encourage the members to participate in active sports and thus have a knowledge of these games before en- tering senior G. A. C. We are given points for each hour we sj end in the various sports. We chose a point system identical to that of the senior G. A. C. system and the points we earn for Junior G. A. C. will be transferable to the senior organization. At our first meeting we elected Betty Lou Lohman president; Darlene Sherburn. vice president; Jane Olson, secretary; Mar- garet Weatherhead, treasurer; and Jane Williamson, student council representative. As soon as we had organized, we began our social activities with a steak fry at the Lake Front Park. This was such fun that we soon planned another picnic. Although we were not invited to the football banquet, we assisted our “big sis- ters” by waiting on tables and we were in- vited to the entertainment which followed the dinner. We also served at the G. A. C. playday and, although we didn’t appreciate our du- ties, we realized that next year we would, in turn, depend upon those junior G. A. C. members for help with our playday. At T loon. Although most of us from the farms and North Hudson had to spend the noon hours at school, we were never at a loss for something to do. The Fifth Street playground and ten- nis court were always available when the weather permitted, for any of us athletes wishing to use them. During the winter months, Miss Kidd gave us equipment for such sports as bad- minton, bowling, dart throwing, and volley- ball. We could play basketball down in the gym or ping-pong up on the balcony. Once a week she provided music for danc- ing in the auditorium. In the spring we often played softball. During this period an average of 40 students was accommodated every day.
