I'll ask her where she got it. I imagine she bought it soniplace. Maybe I can get one of them. Pardon me, but would you tell me where you got the C ? Of course, but it is a long story. VJi1l you have time? Yes, please explain. When I was in the ninth grade, my girl friend, who was the athletic type asked me if I would join the G. A. A, with her as I had joined every other club with her. I asked her to tell me about the G. A. A. before I joined. Remember I was just an inquisitive freshman. We settled down for a long chat. Vv'ith much patience she explained that the G. A. A. stands for Girls' Athletic Association, composed of all girls. These girls participate in sports during the noon hour and after school. Since I was a very curious sort of person, I promised to attend the next meeting. At the next meeting I signed up for a number of sports. Later on I helped with the concession stand and sold candy, hot dogs, pop, and popcorn at the games. The next week our basketball games started: and, of course, I was on the team known as the Aimers. We won the championship, but we really had a tough time of it. I participated in all the available sports during my fresh- man year. Since I enjoyed it so much the iirst year, I continued my membership the next year. But wait-I'm getting ahead of my story. At the end of the iirst year a banquet was held, and they awarded C's like the one on my sweater. Medals and numerals were also given to all those who had earned enough points. Ten points are given for every game participated in and one hundred points for making the interclass teams, Since this is a very interesting organization I joined every year. In my junior year I received this letter which I proudly display. This year I am trying to get a chevron which represents fifteen hundred points. Well, I guess I have explained everything to you. I must be on my way. BETTY FOLK ..,9 9..

lnferclass and Intramural Sports Time: A certain day not so long ago. Place: Central senior gym, Setting: A crowd of yelling spectators. My, my, what is this, a carnival? Oh no, how silly of me, it is just a basketball game. My goodness: What was that sound, a fire truck?? No, just the bell for the game to start. Look!!! there goes the ball. What a lot of misery a basketball goes through. I'm glad I'M not one. Now, little chum, let's find us a comfortable seat and park. Do you think we will get a ticket??? I mean do you think it is O, K. to sit here. Goodness, just look at those girls on the Hoor, dropping that little ball into that big basket!! Where is the ball now??? How did it get clear over there? Worse than trying to End a needle in a haystack. I suppose since, I'm here I'd better find a team to yell for. I guess I will just yell for them both. Oh, I hope she makes that' basket, What are they yelling for now?? Vilas someone hurt? Ouch!!! I think I need an ambulance. I must have broken my back. Sorry, friend, didn't mean to kick you so hard, but our team just made a basket. Well, all right, I'll yell too. My gracious, there goes my longest iingernail. I've been trying to preserve it for the last six weeks. Well, it seems that long anyway. What's everybody leaving for? I see, the game is over. Rather silly of me not to know. I guess I will move now, Oh blame it all, I dropped my gloves. Should I take chances of getting my hand broken? What's that net stretched up across the floor, a decoration?? That's a volleyball net, silly. The girls also play this game, , There goes another bell. That must be the warning bell so I guess I'd better scamper on. Shall we wander out to the Horace Mann tennis courts for a little while tonight after school, Come along? Let's hurry out there. Here we are. Look! What are they doing? Are they waving to us? Oh, they're playing a game of tennis, Let's watch them. What's everyone leaving for? Is the game over already? And we just got here. We didn't know we were so slow. Well, we might as well tag along back to the gym. Are we imagining things or is that a miniature game of tennis in progress over there? Let's wander over and inquire. Why don't we see if we can play? You hit the ball first, Whoops! I didn't tell you to hit it so hard. You serve again and I will try to ping it back. Did we say ping? Oh, yes, we just remembered. This is one of those games known as Ping Pong, Hey!! What's that-someones pet bird flying around over there? Did you see those girls hit him back and forth with their rackets? Let's make them leave it alone. Here it comes. Catch it and don't give it to them if they are going to treat it that way. Oh-h-h, look, a shuttlecock used in playing badminton. This is too much for us in one day. Let's leave. BETTY FOLK -101--
