During the year, the G.A.A. sponsors various outstanding social events which are as follows: Weiner Roast for Freshmen Initiation Hallowe'en Party Valentine Dance May Festival Every year the club has basketball tournaments which consist of at least one team from every class and in some cases there are two teams from a class. In this year's tournament the seniors were undefeated. At the end of the year a girl from each class is chosen by her class mates as the outstanding girl for that year. There are certain standards which this girl must have fulfilled during the past year. These girls are awarded G.A.A. pins. The whole club then chooses a girl from the senior class on the same standards and she is awarded the G.A.A. cup. This year's officers were: President—Thelma Thompson Secretary—Judy Bailey Vice-President—Annabelle Hart Treasurer—Norma Jean Thompson Biblical Questionnaire Club Throughout the year the Bible Club members have met every Tuesday Evening to hear various speakers and musicians. One of the highest points of the year came, we believe, when Mr. Rex Moon spoke to our club. From his words of admonition we gained a greater knowledge of the Bible and how to be of greater service to our fellowmen. Throughout the year we have had the several holidays of the year. First Semester Officers President—Bill Levin Vice-President—John Ruitzel Secretary—Nedra Coghill gatherings, keeping in rememberance Second Semester Officers President—John Ruitzel Vice-President—Patty Levin Secretary—Walter Croxton social Foreign Correspondence Club The Foreign Correspondence Club was organized last year for the purpose of encouraging an exchange of letters between students of Macomb High and students in other parts of the world. The work of the club has been considerably hampered this year by the effects of war, but the club has had success in building up friendships with students in Canada, the V est Indies, Australia, China, and the Phillipines. An occasional letter still gets through from the war zone in Europe. Besides meeting to read letters, the club enjoyed a pot-luck supper followed by games and dancing. Following are the officers for this year: President— -Kenneth Gamage Secretary Wilma Hilton Sponsor—Mr. Wilmeth Page 27
