Every mem- ber is given a chance to participate in her favorite sport. Inter-class tournaments are held at the end of each session in hockey, basketball, baseball, volleyball, tennis, field and track. Many of the girls take advantage of the swimming classes held at the YMCA every Thursday, where they receive instruction in swimming and diving for the nominal fee of five dollars yearly. Here they earn G.A.A. points for passing Junior and Senior Red Cross Life Saving tests. At the same time tap dancing and basketball classes in the gymnasium prove very popular. G.A.A. members are awarded various emblems for earning points in both supervised and unsupervised activities. Local awards given are a gold RJ mounted on a blue background for six hundred points and a gold J-GAA on blue for one thousand two hundred points. Emblems symbolic of individual sports are awarded those who make teams. State leagueemblems are given for greater achievement. A blue I-GAAI' on a triangular white field means one thousand six hundred points have been earned, while a larger blue I-GAA on a circular white background is awarded for two thousand points. fContinued on Next Page, I p!E glGi1 kv-A ggi-flu 1 1 LR 3lw 1 Ii : rd' a1'5 4 f,. 2 ' S 98

If she is found to be physically fit she is eligible for all sports and active class work. Our corrective or light gym classes have been organized for those unable to participate in the more strenuous activities, to correct postural defects, spinal curvatures, and foot deformities. The activity program is so organized that every girl has the opportunity of becoming proficient in her favorite sport. Classes in interpretive and tap dancing are open to all. It is one of the aims of the Girls, Physical Education Department to create the desire for and an interest in athletic activities that will carry over after graduation from school. The Health and Physical Education Departments combined, sponsor a I-lealth XVeek every year. Proper health habits are emphasized throughout the week, with special attention given to standing and sitting posture, in the school building. I all- 3lsifsQ L-A,iQ5le is Fig? is N 97 uiusm
