G. A. A. f The G. A. A. was organized during the school term ot '47-'48, Before then, we were without a sport club for girls at jefferson. Mrs. Richard Middaugh, physical education teacher, became sponsor of the club. The reason for the club was to create an interest in sports among the girls. In our first meeting, which was held October Z3rd, we elected the following officers: President ..... Marilyn Saxton Vice President ........ Martha Eales Secretary ........ june Keller Treasurer ............ Jeanne Moore News Reporter ........... Debora jurgens ' We also decided to meet every two weeks and there would be no requirement of club dues. On November 4th, a weiner roast was held at Roadside Park. We sang songs andhad a treasure hunt. Everyone had a wonderful time. At our business meeting on December 4th, we elected Lola Harshman to be our His- torian, We chose teams for our volleyball games and elected Helen Ford as captain, Everyone took an interest in this and we had very interesting and exciting games. During the first few months of our club's organization we ordered beanies and jeff- erson pennants to sell as a money making project. A Swing and Sway party was held December Znd, the last periodin the Home Ec.Room, We danced to the record player, drank cokes, and ate pretzels. A good time was had byall. A week before Christrnas we girls went Christmas caroling. Afterwards refresh- ments were served at the home of Peggy and joan Melody, Our next meeting was held january 14th. We discussed our point system. We decided that a goal of 100 points was to be reached by each girl by the end of the school term. We also elected Juanita Adams as basketball captain and june Keller as her assistant. Another meeting was held February 12th, and suggestions for another record dance were brought forth. We decided to call it the Leap Year Dance . Everyone wanted to in- vite a boy to the dance so we sent invitations to the boys of our choice. On February 26th, everyone came to the Home Ec. Room for a dance. A coke bar was in one corner of the room and the girls each bought the boys a coke. We all hoped theboys had as good a tirne as we girls did. A swimming plunge was held on March 9th, at the Y.N!.C.A. in Richmond. Those who could not swim enjoyed watching, In March we had a playday with Camden and Monroe. We played various games as basketball, volleyball, and baseball. Refreshments were served afterwards. We girls were all glad that the Camden and Monroe girls could be here. ln April another wiener roast and hike was held at Roadside Park. The entertainment committee kept us all busy playing games. When it became dark we all sat around the campfire, singing songs, and eating hotdogs. Then we hiked back to New Paris and we all agreed we were pretty tired after our hike. On May 6th, all of us girls brought bicycles to school and after school went bicycle riding. We all enjoyed our excursion very much. We hope next year the G. A. A. Club has as much fun as we have had this year.Those of us that reached our goal of 100 points all received awards. We all wish to thank our sponsor, Mrs. Middaugh, for her leadership and sponsoring of our club. ' so
