A. 44 HEREYS a G.A.A. meeting! is the cry down the hall as the five members of the G.A.A. slowly gather for a few minutes or hours to make important decisions concerning girls' athletics. Wow! Two hours to appoint managers, scorers, and timers for the varsity and J.V. basketball teams. However, under the guidance of Mickey McKinstry, we finally made all the necessary decisions. The pride of the G.A.A. this year was the girls' locker-room. We spent several meetings deciding how to renovate it, and emerged vic- torious, but paint-shattered, after our struggles with the decoration. The year ended with the distribution of team awards at the annual G.A.A. banquet in the spring. Thus, another year of fun with sports came to an end.

Calendar Committee ERHAPS the greatest tribute to the work of the Calendar Committee is the way Oak- wood students have come to take its work for granted. We have become accustomed to stimu- lating vesper speakers, to good Saturday night programs, to planned activities on Sunday afternoons, and to Thursday night movies. It is the Calendar Committee that plans all these activities. In addition, it organizes hall skits, sets the dates for the class plays, and handles many other incidentals. The smoothness and efficiency with which these projects have been accomplished is due to the persistent efforts of the Committee under the leadership of its sponsors, Ruth Craig and Paul Taylor, and the student chairmen, Kay Memelsdorff and Dick Meredith. Study Committee 44 EADING in Relation to Study was the first of the numerous and varied topics elaborated upon in the meetings of the Study . Club. The Club, whose purpose it is to aid and to advise the student body in regard to study and study habits, was reorganized this year as one of the Study Committees main projects. Under the capable direction of Dr. Curtis New- lin, we realized many other aims also. In memory of our far from perfunctory meetings, we pay tribute to the competent, yet forgetful, secretary who often misplaced the notes, but had memorized every detailg and another particular member, who was inces- santly anxious to complete the business at hand. Knowing that the members of next yeat's Commitee will continue to develop our objec- tives, we can look back with satisfaction over the past year.
