M s$. The Girls' Athletic Associa- tion has for its purpose the cre- ation of a friendly relationship among the girls and the spon- soring of the girls' athletic pro- gram in the school. They hold regular monthly meetings which they devote partly to business and partly to social functions. The physical education pro- gram of the G A A., in which many participate, is under the direction of Miss Stickel. Here the girls have an opportunity to take part in various games such as basketball, volleyball and kittenball. As no inter-school contests are held, the girls' riv- alry is largely intra-mural

In both 1937 and 1938 Warren Giedt has represented Leola High School as piano and clarinet soloist During his sopho- more year, while attending Washington High School, Sioux Falls, he rated Excellent on clarinet in the State Contest, and was a member of a woodwind sextet which rated Superior in the State and later participated in the National Contest at Cleveland In addition to his solo work Warren has, since coming to LHS taken an active part in the various ensembles, and has been a valued member of many groups. The Mixed Trio was the result of a desire for a small instru- mental group to supplement the work of the Orchestra, and it began its existence as a Quartet. Illness of one of its members made necessary the smaller organization, and in such form it apeared at the District Music Contest in 1938. The Trio is known for its fine tone, perfect intonation, and genuinely emo- tional interpretations. Its members are Wallace Giedt, violin- ist, Warren Giedt, clarinetist; and Lois Schmalz, pianist. Wallace Giedt has appeared as violin and cornet soloist for Leola Hiqh School, winning in 1937 on violin an Excellent rating in the District Contest, and a Superior in both Dis- trict and State on Cornet. While a sophomore he played cor- net in the Washington High School Band and was also a member of the brass sextet. For the post two years he has been con- certmaster of the Leolo High School Orchestra, and violinist in the Mixed Trio
