G. A. A. The purpose of this association is to foster among the girls of Lincoln interest and participation in athletics, to increase physical eHiciency, and to develop a higher degree of sportsmanship and school and class spirit. The plan of the organization is the home room system. Each room elects a captain who represents them in all G. A. A. activities. It is the duty of the captain to arouse interest in her home room, advertise the games which her team plays, inspire her team and encourage them to clean playing and good sportsmanship. VOLLEY BALL--The sport taken up in the fall was volley ball. Practice games were held and later 1n the winter an Elimination Tournament was run off The winners in the 8th grade were the 8B4 5, Margaret Hoffman, Captain; Bessie Star, Esther Alch, Sylvia Meshbesher, Bessie Rabinowitz, and Celia Pinsky. The 9Bis, victors of their grade, conquered the 8B4's and so were 1927 school champions. The girls playing on this team were Beatrice Cohen, Captain; Etta Bellman.
