Early in the fall the Girls' Athletic Associ- ation began a yearflong activity program conf Sisting of baseball, bowling, badminton, volley ball, basketball, and tumbling. Basketball and volley ball were the favorites with most of the girls who participated. Under the direction of the sponsor, Miss GeraldineGreenlee, the-G.A.A. members learned to develop skills and to get along with others. This year's officers were Mildred Thompson, presidentg Patty Thiessen, vicerpresidentg Carol Lundquist, secretary: and Carolyn Youmans. treasurer. The point chairmen for the classes were Agnes Hammond, senior class chairmanl Cheryl Dean, junior class chairman: and Alice Diettriek, sophomore class chairman. The G.A.A. members receive four points for every hour in which they participate in a sport. If a girl earns 550 points. she will receive a letter: and if she earns 1,000 points, she will receive a state pin. All the girls worked hard: many received letters, and a few, pins. AL'5 GRIDDLE - CLINTON NATIONAL BANK On january 8. the G.A.A. had a Play Night. The girls played basketball and vollev ball. Dancing and refreshments followed. All the girls had a very good time. The Homecoming Dance was sponsored by the G.A.A. this year. The dance was a huge success if the crowd that packed the gym on this warm evening was any indication. Perhaps one of the .attractions at the dance was the music presented by Gene McDuff and his orchestra. The highlight of the year for the G.A.A. was, as usual. the Night of Champs. For weeks the girls practiced long and diligently to insure its success, When March 12 finally came, the girls played their very best. The basketball and volley ball winners have their pictures on the next page. To the losers, we say, You were really good sports . This season's activities bring down the cur- tain on many wonderful years of G.A.A. fun at Lyons High School. The members will always remember the fun and sportsmanship that they shared in this fine organization. Th ir ty -seven
