MODERN AMAZONS The Girls' Athletic Association is one of the youngest organizations in the high school. The association was organized in the spring of '30, however, not much was accomplished until the beginning of the next school term. The membership has grown from a half a dozen girls to nearly fifty at the present time. Mrs. Charles F. Abbott, girls' physical education instructor, helped with the organization of the associa- tion and is still the sponsor. Membership is gained by making a class team and playing at least three games out of the Season's six. Both rough-house and formal recognition is given candidates for membership. The four seasons are hem-- mingway, in the fall, basketball and volley- ball, in the winter, and baseball in the spring. Each season gives one hundred points toward G. A. A. awards. Additional points may be gained in tennis, horse-shoe, swimming, hiking, and in skating. The awards are the cardinal numerals at four hundred points, the blue English numbers at seven hundred points, and the monogram at one thousand points. During the school year, the girls have en- joyed numerous activities. This list includes 11 skating party, a chili supper, a kid party, an all-day picnic. and hikes. The oificers of this school year were Lucile Kennedy, president, Frances Nash, secretary, Violet Deer, chairman of activity committee, and Gladys Gray, treasurer. Little interest in this organization has been shown by those outside of its member- ship. The membership includes a group of live-wire and wide-awake girls. Every Held requires pioneers, and these girls are paving the way for their younger sisters. At pres- ent the need for women, trained in this type of work, is being recognized. Well trained physical education instructors are in con- stant demand. This organization has a fu- ture in sight. During the past year the following G. A. A. awards have been made to those who had earned the required number of points. Monograms were awarded to the follow- ing senior girls: Elizabeth Dutton, Helen Hicks, Letitia Wininger, and Virginia Zenor. Second numerals have been given to Beulah Davis, Violet Deer, Hazel Durham, Elizabeth Dutton, Evelyn Eggers, Louise Elliott, Ileene Gray, Ruth Harris, Eva Jar- rett, Edna Lemons, Elizabeth Moore, Al- berta Payton, Joy Smith, Letitia Wininger, and Virginia Zenor. First numerals were awarded to Isabel Baugh, Elizabeth'Brady, Geneva Carmich- ael, Beulah Davis. Violet Deer, Hazel Dur- ham, Theda Fletcher, Imogene Hicks, Eva Jarrett, Lucile Kennedy, Beatrice Knoy, Elizabeth Moore, Fran-ces Nash, Alberta Payton, Mardelle Whitlow, and Letitia Wininger. Last fall this organization sponsored a hemmingway tourney. The girls of the sophomore class were the winners. The seniors were the second in line as to the number of games won. During the Thanksgiving vacation plans were made for basketball games to be played as soon as school work was resumed. The sophomore class again came out with many numbers. The other class teams had a fair representation, but were not able to cope with the class of '34, Many of the games were close, and much excitement was displayed by those competing for honors. The class of '34 again showed themselves the superior team. This same group of girls won the inter-class trophy last year, too. This page through the courtesy of The Daily Reporter

GRIDIRON REVIEW Martinsville opened their 1931 football schedule at Shelbyville September 4. Both teams showed that they could stand more training in order that the rough spots might be taken off. Both machines displayed a powerful defense and the result of this was that neither crew scored. The Artesians played the whole game without a single sub- stitution, a thing that seldom happens in football. Next week Frankfort came down to wage a football war with the Spaulding men and after the dust had settled from the battle it was visible that the Hotdawgs had been victorious by a margin of 20 to 0. Frank- fort's great advantage in weight was the reason for their wide margin victory. They kept the Martinsville bantam's backed up to the goal line most of the time. Stinging from defeats and ties, the Spaulding gridmen were out for victory at all cost. Greencastle was the unlucky team and the Artesians ran wild through the Tiger Cubs and scored Z6 points to none for Greencastle. Tiger meat must have tasted good to the Artesians. All cocked and primed from their previous exploit with Tiger Cubs, the Artesians were off to get the scalps of the Anderson In- dians, but the Indians were more skillful with scalping knives, and Martinsville came home scalped 20 to 7. It was a last half rally on the part of the redskins that netted them victory. After the terrific battle with Anderson, the Spaulding men set to work for the squad from the suburbs of Indianapolis. First was the Broad Ripple crew. Martins- ville met a suprisingly strong team which finally banged its way to a 13 to 7 victory. The next week the Artesians were out to make it .500 percent with the Indianapolis suburbs and Southport was taken into camp 14 to 7. Gctober the sixteenth the Spartans from Connersville journeyed down to the health- ful city of Martinsville and just took the Artesians by surprise. Before six minutes had elapsed, the Spartans collected -two touchdowns. By this time the Artesians had learned how to stop Spartans and both teams only scored one more counter each. Due to the inelligibility of one of the Gladiators, Martinsville was later given the game 2 to O. Perhaps the saying that Owls sleep in the daytime and travel around at night is true. Martinsville held the onslaught of the Lyonsmen during the first of the tussle but the wise old Owls were fully awake when the second half started, and walked away with a 20 to 0 victory. Next came the powerful Mumby machine, and the Spaulding men had been anticipat- ing this game all year. Both teams were wanting to win, but this game was to tell whether the Artesians were a success or not this season. The Artesian water system was working beautifully and one time the Panthers were drowned out on the one yard line. The Panthers claws were also plenty sharp and the result was that both antagon- ists were unable to cross the goal line. After a wonderful showing against Bloom- ington, Martinsville had hopes of winding up their season in a delightful manner but this was as far as they got, for this game meant whether Columbus had had :1 successful season or not. The Bulldogs put on a first half drive which resulted in seven points, and this earned them a successful seasong although the Artesians had several opportunities to score they failed.
