THE WIN-NEL 1938 GIRL'S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION CHRISTMAS PARTY On December 22, 1937 from 4 to 6 the G.A.A. held their Christmas party. The committee was composed of Neva Schramm, Gertrude Lynch, Audrey Runkle, and Barbara Rayhorn. Games and a musical program were enjoyed by all. The program consisted of numbers given by each class. The most important part of the program was Santa Claus. It kept Margaret Bitz and several others wondering why Santa was so large in Freeport and so small in Winslow. Another reason Santa aroused so much curiosity was that he was speechless! Imagine-he did not say one word although he gave us each a gift. Refreshments followed, being served from a table dressed in Christmas decorations and lighted by large red candles. PLAY DAY AT HANOVER The G. A. A. of Hanover invited us to participate in their fall play- day on November 6. Carol Wells, Barbara Rayhorn, Dorothy Klecklei, Gertrude Lynch, Opal Rakowska, and Hilda Wyssbrod made the trip to Hanover, accompanied by Miss Swaney. Six other high schools at- tended. When the representatives arrived they were divided into different groups on a Treasure Hunt. Later teams competed playing basketball, kittenball, and badmin- ton. After this a fine luncheon was served. MAKE DOLLS The G.A.A. decided it was appropriate to make dolls for the children around town. There were not so many that cooperated in making them because of the busy-rush near Christmas. They were made in forms of camels, dogs, cats, and horses. We sincerely hope that the children who received them enjoy- ed them as much as we enjoyed making them. Selling Stationery We sold stationery to our friends to make extra money. We have sold nearly a hundred boxes and Betty Campbell has been our high salesman. The money taken in as a result of these sales has been used to buy athletic equipment for the girls' gym classes. A ping-pong table was our first purchase, followed by the buying of four badmin- ton rackets and shuttlecocks. Page Twenty-Nine
