A rdyth Dobbles Vice President .... .... G retchen Dobbles Secretary .... ................ A ileen Vanzandt Treasurer ..... ................ R osalia McAlister Advisers .... ..., M iss Doland and Miss Rutherford The Girls' Athletic Association, established in I934. is atiiliated with the Illinois League ot G.A.A. lt is composed ot girls who have a detinite interest in athletics. The tact that the enrollment dropped from 98 to 55 during the first semester is ac- counted tor by the high standards ot activity and sportsmanship with which the mem- bers must comply. During the tirst part ot the year, the girls participated in organized activities two nights each week tor ten weeks. Sports in which they engaged were soccer and base- ball. Members earned points through athletic participation at school, posture drills, dancing and outside athletics. For their etforts the members received awards from the state association. A large percentage ot the members received pins tor having earned titty points in unorganized activities. At meetings held monthly, business was transacted, announcements concerning 'Future activities were made and worthwhile entertainment was presented. The G.A.A. sponsored a tree-throw tournament in which contestants had one hun- dred throws. Nellie Wonderlin placed tirst with torty-tive baskets, and Rachel Fenet ranked second with torty. Social events ot the year included a wiener roast and an open-air breaktast on the campus. Some ot the girls attended Play Day at Allerton on the sixteenth ot May. The girls have shown splendid cooperation with their leaders and with each other. The 6.A.A. promises to be the most worthwhile organization ot its kind yet estab- lished in this school. 936 l l THE ACORN l l I9 GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Top Row-Clem, Albert Cox, Sexiron, Hume, Baker, Gillen, Wainwright H.

Commencement 936 l I THE ACORN I l I9 THE NEW GYMNASIUM In November, I935, lhe Public Works Adminislralion made a granl of 523,748 lo Oakwood Township for fhe purpose of conslrucling a high school gymnasium. The volers of lhe lownship lhen approved of a 530.000 bond issue lo cover lhe remainder of lhe cosl of lhe building. The archilecls are Leise and Ludwick, who also designed lhe original school building. The general conlraclor is lhe J. W. Monlgomery Con- slruclion Company. Oulside dimensions of lhe gym are eighly-nine feel, six inches by one hundred fourleen feel. The playing floor is eighly feel by forly-five feel, while lhe enfire floor space is eighly-seven feel by filly-one feel. Bleachers on lhe norlh side of lhe gymnasium have a sealing capacily of seven hundred fifly, and are opposile lhe slage. The slage is lwenly-lwo feel deep and forly-five feel wide, and has an opening of lwenly-six feel by fifleen feel. Two dress-- ing rooms, one on eilher side of lhe slage, provide ample room for slorage. and lhe room lo lhe easl, which measures lwenly-lwo feel by nineleen feel, may be used as a classroom, if necessary. Under lhe slage on lhe easl, are varsily squad rooms, shower rooms and boys' physical educalion rooms. On lhe wesl side are girls' shower and locker rooms for physical educalion. On lhe norlh side, under lhe bleachers, lhe foods and clolhing laboralories of lhe Home Economics Deparlmenl are silualed. The gymnasium will be connecled wilh lhe old building by a corridor lwelve feel wide and forly feel long. This will be lhe main enlrance. The building will be made of red brick, wilh a red lile roof, so lhal il will har- monize in design and appearance wilh lhe presenl building. ll will probably be com- pleled in July. The old gymnasium will be used for boys' and girls' physical educalion classes, and evenlually may be lransformed inlo classrooms. As lhe number of sludenls has increased rapidly during lhe lasl few years, lhe classrooms and halls became so congesled lhal some change seemed necessary. The new proiecl will nol only help lhis condilion, bul will provide a meeling-place for peo- ple of lhe communily. Q HIGIIMKCULTMIRHL PIRQJEKIITJ' a i V 52.- - ' 9945!
