THE MODULUS Our Modern Maidens AT the opening of the school year, the Girl ' s Athletic Association after organizing, launch- ed enthusiastically into its year ' s activities. Associate members became active in the G. A. A. when a total of one hundred points has been earned by playing tennis, swimming, arch- ery, hiking, or skating; also by making any of the teams. The association does not confine its activ- ities to athletics alone. Every year it holds a Freshman party; that is, each member brings a new girl, and in this way the new pupils become in- terested and start working for points. This fall the members sponsored a mo- tion picture at the Huntington Theater and were able to make a fund for all of those in the gym classes who could not pay their swimming dues each week. The G. A. A. is headed by Maxine Ade, with Maxine Landis, Vice President; Anna Ruth Hooten, Secretary ; and Mary Ellen Kesler, Treas- urer. They are shown in the picture on this page. When the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A, build- ing was opened in Huntington, Miss Miller, athle- tic director, was granted the use of the swim- ming pool for the girls ' gym classes. Any outside observer on Wednesdays, the beginning of each period, may see a group of fair maidens tripping along the sidewalk swinging in their hands, gayly colored bathing caps. They are on their way for their weekly splash at the Y. After physical examinations were taken, the stage was set for the first .jump into the water. Splash ! there goes someone off the end of the div- ing board, who is practicing for her Junior Red Cross life saving test. In order to pass this test a girl is required to perform such feats as sur- ' uSJ. face diving, reviving one that has escaped drown- ing, release holds of a drowning person and recovering weights. Maxine Ade, Mary Ellen Willis, and Lucile Wienke have passed this examination and have received their life-saving emblems. The first hour class is shown in the picture in the lower left hand corner. First row: Zelma Hillegas, Dorothy Wiseman, Audrey Rankin, Dorothy Cochrane, Helene Barnes, Bertha Fet- ing, Lola Kimmel and Ola Christ; second row : Lil- lian Jay, Ber- niece Brenn, Hel- en Lenwell, Max- ine Ade, Mary Snyder, Louise Herman, Thoresa Swoverland, and Marie Rice ; third row : Margaret Baker, Helen Newcomb, Mary Burley, Caroline Riggers, Edith Carrick, Marjorie Mitten and Doro- thy Slagle.
