Every Thursday evening LHS hums with activity, and even if you can't find the source of all the high feelings, it's easy to sense them all over the building. What's the cause of it? The GAA is meeting, of course. Although the organization's constitution specifies that the letters mean “Girls' Athletic Association, a more appropriate name would be “Gay, Active Athletes. The gals do a little of everything and have the time of their lives doing it. Right away in the fall, the group makes itself known when students leaving the building after 4:00 notice a touch-football game in progress on the side lawn. “My! some are tempt- ed to exclaim, “we could almost use them on the varsity! The girls really get going about the time the snow starts to fall. Then the freshmen girls who want to join the organization have initiation. Some of the traditional shenanigans are wearing continuously for a week one blue and one white sock, blue jeans, and blue and white ribbons to represent the official colors of the group. This year they also had to beg pennies from strangers on downtown sidewalks. At this same time basketball begins, and the female hoop stars don their colorful uniforms and prance about the court making baskets right and left. The big event is the annual GAA basketball tournament. Excitement runs high and the LHS “do-or-die spirit makes each contest full of surprises. With all the energy exhibited, it's a wonder some of the gals don't come out of the tournament maimed for life! Lest the rest of the school should think the girls are all muscle-women and have no femi- nine graces at all, GAA has a full social schedule during the year. They sponsor a dance, a Halloween party (where bobbing for apples is as wet and gurggly as anywhere), a spring pic- nic, and entertain at a pep-fest. Very noticeable at LHS parties the past two or three years has been the upswing of interest in old-time and square dancing. The girls of GAA are al- most solely responsible for this, using much of their time learning “allemande left's and “do-si-do's and then passing them on to the student body. Taken all together, the GAA is a happy, vivacious gang of girls who add immeasurable to the spirit and life in LHS. (jitls ‘ Athletic Association BACK ROW: P. Olson, H.
