Board - N order that the Girls' Athletic Association may have self-government, the members of this association elect a G. A. A. board every year. This board with the aid of Miss Buchanan plans all the activities to be held during the year. Each board member, who is responsible for a particular sport, helps the supervisor decide upon girls for the class teams of her sport. Once a year it is a G. A. A. custom to have a hike for which each partici- pant is given a point for every mile Walked. ' During the G. A. A. banquet, which is held at the end of every year, the winners of class teams are awarded medals by the Girls' Physical Director. The G. A. A. board this year consisted of President, Bonnie Sherer: Vice- President, Bonnie Jean DeVilbiss: Secretary, Dorcas Baney: Treasurer, Marian Pritchard: tennis, Marcella Robertsg basketball, Mildred Pritchard: volleyball, Marjorie Ripleyg hitpin, Wanda Sims, minor sports, Thelma Von Almen: hiking, Helen Mallettg publicity, Jane Parmenter.

Cheerleaders O that Central may display better sportsmanship and that the players of football and basketball teams may be encouraged, the students of this school elect eight cheerleaders, four girls and four boys, to represent them for the year. At the first football game all who wish to become cheerleaders try out and are later voted upon by the activity-ticket holders. Because the audience will not always cooperate and because they must be out in all kinds of weather, these cheerleaders go through a great deal of hard- ship. At the last Thanksgiving football game our yell squad displayed nifty new red and green uniforms and also led some new cheers. Often they go with the band to out-of-town games to inspire our players. With Edna Dotson and Junior Stimmel as our head cheerleaders this year, the squad was composed of Charles Bayles, Virginia Byrd, Rosemary Hardy, Carolyn Levy, Milfred Roush, and Gene Snyder. 4 be In assembly Edna Dotson and Junior Stimmel, who already had their letters, were presented with certificates of award, and Carolyn Levy was awarded a letter. . Since Charles Bayles, Rosemary Hardy, Milfred Roush, Gene Snyder, and Junior Stimmel have showed such splendid work and since they have more school ahead of them, we hope to see them again next year. -BETTY SNYDER sixty-eight

Girls' Athletic Association HE Girls' Athletic Association, more commonly known as the G. A. A., sponsors games of all kinds in which every Central High girl is invited to participate. Miss Lyda Buchanan is the supervisor of this association. Volleyball, the first major sport of the year, is followed by tennis, deck- tennis, and shuffleboard. Then comes basketball, the favorite sport of most girls, followed by such sports as baseball and hitpin-baseball. A girl receives a G. A. A. letter when she has earned a thousand points, and a numeral when she has five-hundred points. She is given ten points for every game played and five points for a forfeit, and one-hundred points if she makes a class team. In assembly, letters were awarded to those Junior and Senior girls who had the required number of points. -BETTY SNYDER seventy
