This year's Girls Athletic Association has just completed another busy and exciting year under the Fine sponsorship of Miss Geraldine Greenlee. Seventy-five members participated in most of the activities. The officers were Joan Engstrom, president: Nola Nielsen, vice-presi- dentg Lorraine Stolk, secretary, Pat Claussen, treasurer. Point chairmen for the classes were Nadine Lueders, senior, Mildred Thompson, juniorg and Linda Hake, sophomore. G. A. A. is open to any girl with an interest in sports. The purposes are to provide a whole- some program of physical education activities for all to enjoy. It gives a girl a chance to develop her abilities and get along with others. The girls worked hard to earn G. A. A. points. Four points were given for each hour of sports BENNETT BOX COMPANY activity. Many girls earned the necessary five hundred and fifty points for a letter and the one thousand points for a state pin. Heading the list of activities were bowling, volley ball, and basketball. Other sports of almost equal popularity were tennis, tumbling, badminton, and softball. Some girls worked hard with officiating volley ball and basketball games. A few passed their intramural official test. Night of Champs was the big highlight of the year. This gave the girls an opportunity to show their ability and compete with the other classes. Basketball, volley ball, and tumbling made up the program. The winning teams were presented with ribbons and trophies. Letters and state pins were awarded to the seniors at this time. Thirty-five

It seemed as though we were forever planning some event for the student body. To begin with, the Council had the terrific job of getting the activity tickets sold to the students. This was carried out with an amazing record of IOOZ in the senior class: 845 in the junior class, and QZZ in the sopho- more class. Next came the football season. Naturally this included planning for Parents' Night, L-Men's Night, Homecoming, and those all- important dances after the home games. Members of the Council acted as hosts and guides at our annual Parents' Night on No- vember 11. In addition the Council helped plan for this program for National Education Week. Along came the winter season with Christmas and the basketball season. The Council took charge of decorating trees and helping with the Christmas program. The basketball season gave the Council a short period of rest. With the coming of spring and the closing of the school year, the Council took part in two most important conferences. They were the Eastern Division Convention of the Iowa Association of Student Councils which was held at Clinton High on April 2, and the Youth Conference at Calamus on April 14. The members of the Activity Council are as follows: Lawrence Lind Co-Presidents Shirley Turner jack Waldorf Louis Weinbeck Don Meyer Barbara Dorathy Russell Henningsen JoAnn Campbell Joan Engstrom Jack Greve Joyce Bartels Eugene Reeser Myrna Meyer Clarence McArdle Senior President junior President Sophomore President Band Photography Club Girls' Glee Club G.

The fifty girls in the Team were under the capable leadership of jo Ann Campbell, captaing Shirley Cavanaugh, senior lieutenant: Jeannine Soderstrom, junior lieu- tenant: and Gerda Kading, sophomore lieu- tenant. Miss Greenlee, the sponsor, played a very active part in the directing of the Drill Team. The uniforms that the girls wore consisted of red letter-sweaters, white blouses, skirts, anklets, and gloves. Saddle shoes were the usual style of footwear. The captain and the lieutenants were set apart from the rest of the group by their white letter-sweaters. If you watched any of the performances of the Drill Team this year, you will remember that some of the formations were unique. In Thlhf ty-six each game the girls formed the traditional L g a different type was made each time. Among these were the block L and the double L. At the game during the Halloween season, the Team with the assistance of the Band formed a pump- kin that smiled and then frowned. The girls marched in the Mardi Gras Parade. The formation they used was a large L. This was quite different from the usual double file straight line procedure. For the big event Homecoming, the Drill Team at the pre-game ceremonies formed the queen's initials - M.M. During the half time, they formed a revolving water wheel while the Band played Down by the Old Mill Stream . On some of the practice mornings when the old north wind blew, there were empty spaces in the ranks, but the majority of the girls showed up tired and cold, but ready to make their classmates proud of the L.H.S. Drill Team. BEEZ-MOUSEL -- DR. W. L. SCOTT
