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
