GAA Offers Varied Sports With an hour set aside after school each Monday and Wednesday, members of the Girls Athletic Association congregated in the gym or on the playground for get- togethers of additional recreation. Typical sessions during the first fall days found them engrossed in the game of soccer with Miss Betty lones, adviser, offici- ating the encounters or engaging in a few kicks along with the rest. Hockey soon took the place of soccer as the principles of the latter game were learned. As the season advanced and weather conditions hampered out-of-door contests, basketball, badminton, ping pong, and pad- dle tennis became the sports for the winter program and all yielded to tournament procedure. With spring and the yen to be out in the open came the playing of softball on the playground diamond, but the time for school to close came too soon for many games to be played. Activities other than those of the regular sports line included doing their bit for de- fense by sewing garments for the Red Cross, a Christmas party, a picnic in the spring, and selling tickets for the all-school play. For additional pin money to help balance finances, the girls took their turn on the schedule for Friday candy sales.
