NEW plan was taken up this year in the G. A. A. Only ninth graders were allowed to earn points. This gives them a good opportunity to earn two hundred points when they enter the Senior High G. A. A. The seventh and eighth grades are allowed to participate in athletic activities and work for letters. Another new feature was that of having a girl act as head of each sport. Adele Milston was chosen by Miss Doherty as head of Volleyball; Gwendolyn Ott, Servus Ball; Minette Lifson, Punch- ball; Margaret Hoffman, Swimming; Marcia Noodelman, Tennis; and Stecia Hoff- man head of baseball. The same system as was used last year in having home room captains representing the G. A. A. is being carried out again this year. The duty of the home room captain is to arouse interest in her room, to inspire her team, and to encourage good sportsmanship and true playing. The organization of the G. A. A. aims to bring out true sportsmanship and to pro- duce health. After the new election of G. A. A. officers the results were: President - - - - - - - - - - - - - MARGARET HOFFMAN Vice-President - - - - - - - - - - - - - KATHRYN NEVILLE Secretary and Treasurer - - - - - - - - - - CHARLOTTE JURAN
