Tuesday and Friday found most of the McDonald boys counting their pennies on their way to the gym. Five cents was the price for an hour-'s en- tertainment of watching the girls play basketball in the newly-organized G.A.A. tournaments. The G.A.A. was reorganized in the fall of '57 by Miss Doris Dawson, the sponsor. At that time the club chose the following officers: Rose Lesjak, presidentg Marsha Powell, vice president: Mary Hampson, secretaryg Jean Gaitens, treasurer: Sandra Montgomery, pub- licity chairman. ' The club's purpose is to help each member develop the qualities of sportsmanship, courtesy, co-operation, fair play, and leadership through participation in sports. The game began with the Flower Bowl Tournament. ln this mix-up tournament, Foul- able Freshmen found themselves playing on the same teams with Sporty Sophomores, Jumping juniors, and Speedy Seniors. These games re- vealed a sink-em-all Sophomore Fern Smith. A few of the other sharpshootin stars were Gay- nelle Scott, Joette Russell, and Nancy Hamp- son. The clash of the classes was the second basketball tournament. Each class was repre- sented by two teams. ln this round robin series each team played seven games. The deserving Seniors received gold charms. The underclassmen with the highest number of points received letters.
