omen's Athletic Association Way back inH ye ole month of September the first post-war W.A.A. meeting was held. Ofiicers were elected and all of us knew then that the W.A.A. was headed for bigger and better things. Then came the never-to-be-forgotten three-day initiation. We were all good sports and came to school looking like Gravel Gertie with the added touch of barber pole legs. Our one hope was that first impressions wouldn't be lasting in this case!! October marked the installation of officers and an- nouncement of heads of sports. A full year of sports was planned, and we began to wonder when we could spare a little time for studying. Dad's Sports Night marked the first social gathering for the year in November. Many of us were surprised at the athletic ability of pop, It was a re al Sugar Daddy Splurge. December was the month of the flu and had its bad effects upon most of us, one be- ing the postponement of the Mother-Daughter Christmas Tea. Then the girls' Collegiate basket- ball team came thru showing the colors of J.J.C. by emerging the undefeated champions of a tourna- ment in which sixteen teams participated. February found one of the hottest competitive contests in swing which has ever been witnessed. This was in the way of co-ed bowling which both began and finished with a bang. At last the ro- mantic part of sweethearts' month was expressed in Love Letters, the informal W.A.A. dance. For the first time we really could shout and mean it-Alleluia, my guy's come back! Co-ed sports were the main event during March. We really proved to the fellows that we can do something besides site ting around looking pretty?'? On April 5th the W.A.A. of St. Francis College was entertained at a play night in the small gym. Last of all May, the best month of all, marked the best activity. The W.A.A. Banquet was held at the' Louis Joliet Hotel and awards were distributed to those eligible. What a wonderful feeling-receiving an award for spending a year pacl-:ed full of fun!!

It gave all those who attended a chance to relax after a strenuous period of mental activity.

There were games of all varieties and everyone's favorite pastime-eating A good time was had by all, and from the frosh to the sophomores. Thanks, You're tops 111 hosts Tonight's the night was the topic all day in discussing the SPRING MIXER. A variety of entertainment was planned.

Our own Junior College orchestra, Bill Brown's, played for those who cared to dance Let's have another soon was the goodbye heard as the students left the gym. ii? l Love Letters, the annual W.A.A. dance held February 16, was really a sell-out. We had not only Junior College students, but also the alumni and members of the senior class of the high school In accordance with the theme a post oilice adorned the center of the gym at which programs in the form of letters were given out. A wonderful time was claimed by all who attended the dance. 16
