This group is composed of approximately 25 girls who are given membership in the club through tryouts held each fall. The prospective members are required to pass ten swimming skills which are iudged by the club's sponsor, Miss Shied, and other qualified club members. After the new members have been feted at a club dinner the year's work begins. Plans and ar- rangements concerning the Aquabelles annual water show are made. This year's show entitled Cross Currents U.S.A. was based on a travelling theme. The girls write all the production numbers that are in the show and they are also responsible for the music and costumes. During the year the Aquabelles have a poster party for their water show and a club picnic or field trip. Pointed toes, unbended knee and complete co-ordination are the ingredients which make these five ballet legs rise in unison. An instant later, the legs, arms and heads all disap- peared beneath the surface in the completion of the maneuver.

Sports Of All Sorts Attract Girls To G.A.A. GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Sports of all sorts fill the roster of the Girls' Athletic Association. This club strives to further the interests of both team and individual sports and makes membership available to all girls in grades nine through twelve. Throughout the year G.A.A. members take part in a variety of sports. Basketball, volleyball, bowling, and archery are only a few of the events scheduled. Tournaments are set up for each sport and the girls form teams and play against each other. Both good sportsmanship and a knowledge of the different games are derived from these experiences. The girls also travel to other E.M.L. schools to participate in G.A.A. playdays. Competition is keen and the winning teams receive rewards. A highlight of the year's activities takes place in the fall. The club officers attend a G.A.A. camp to exchange ideas and discuss club problems with other G.A.A. officers. Recreation and fun are also a part of the meeting. i i i Newly formed this year is the G.A. A. bowling league. Each Monday afternoon about fifty members go bowling.
