No, they merely remark, Those G.A.A. girls must be having an exciting game tonightf' for they recognize the cry as just a girl's way of expressing enthusiasm or disappointment over a hard-fought contest. Is there something Irish about these lively lassies? Twice a week they can be seen wearing the green, and their sparkling eyes and rosy cheeks remind one of When Irish Eyes are Smiling. No, we haven't kissed the Blarney Stone for G.A.A. girls do personify the benefits of regular exercise and good health habits. Soccer, volley ball, baseball, basketball, and speed ball bring into play every muscle in a girl's body and send the red blood coursing through her veins, team and class tournaments test disposition, mind, and eye, training rules and awards impress correct health habits. Every Tuesday and Thursday evening finds these girls at their play, outside in the spring and fall when the weather is fine, inside when the weather is bad. G.A.A. members are not allowed to participate in inter-school games, but they are encouraged through the Loup Valley Play Days to mingle with other girls in informal play. Two Play Days are held each year, eleven Loup Valley schools participating. The afternoon is spent'in play and before the girls start home they enjoy a social hour and lunch together. The ride home in the bus is just as much fun as the trip there. Chatter, songs, and good-natured banter make the time pass quickly and it's 'fhome again before one realizes it.

Spice is symbolic of the peppy meetings, spirited discussions, and lively socials. f'Sugar sug- gests, perhaps, the Girl Reserve candy booth, but more fittingly, sweet memories of friendship, symbolism, and spiritual growth. The mere mention of high spots in this year's activities is sufficient to recall pleasant memories and set in motion a whole train of delightful recollections. Among the memorable events of the year are: the con- vocation playlet Follow the Gleam , the treasure-hunt for a box of lollypops, chrysanthemum tea, the fall Candle-Light service in which thirty-five members are taken in, hot-dog stands at the football games, decorating the Christmas tree, New Year's resolutions meeting, the bingo stand at the Carnivalg Heart Sister week, a St. Patrick's Day party, joint Hi-Y-G.

-- Uganficfaam KM imtsfz Events RED AND WHITE BANQUET The first of the winter events is the Red and White Banquet, Decem- ber 4, sponsored by Miss Crouch and the Cheer Leaders in honor of the Loup Valley Championship football team. The banqueters haven't a chance to forget the purpose of the occasion for footballs grace the cen- ters of the tables while pairs of white candles and red crepe paper form miniature goal posts. The band plays pep music during the meal, be- tween courses Dorothy Auble, Ruth Auble, and Mary Beranek play tap- dance football, an Virginia Sack sings a football solo. Evelyne Loft as toastmaster introduces the speakers who play an imaginary game of foot- ball from kick-off to touch-down. Those who pass words, rather than balls are Coach Brockman, Assistant Coach Cowel, John Misko, Jess Kovanda, Dean Marks, and Dale Melia. Ruth Koupal and Dr. Blessing. ANNUAL CHRISTMAS PROGRAM From Thanksgiving until Christmas strains of Christmas carols can be heard throughout the building as the musical organizations rehearse for their part in the all-school Christmas program. When the night of December 19 arrives the girls' glee club is found seated on built-up seats in the front of the auditorium while the boys' club is seated on a sec- tion of the bleachers to make room for the capacity crowd which always comes out for this occasion. After the playlet, i'The Lost Merry Christ- masf produced by the Junior High Students, the glee clubs present their part of the entertainment. The impressive and colorful play, Why the Chimes Rang, based on the beautiful old legend climaxes the program. The main characters of the play were Mildred Waldman, Vera Severns, Paul Carlsen, Barbara Dale, Ronald Rose, and Armona Beth Achen. CARNIVAL Ever since the carnival of 1934 the question has been asked and re- asked, Can't we have another carnival? At last the answer is yes, we need money to finance the annual, and the date is set for February 14. Word spreads throughout the school and the frolic begins advertising itself. Classes get busy and nominate their candidates for King and Queen of the Carnivalg the committee makes plans and orders suppliesg students save pen- ' nies and talk carnival. Everything but the weather promises a highly successful activity. The fourteenth is a day of feverish activ- ity. By five-thirty the Carnival Company has moved in and Dull Care has moved out. Bed- lam breaks loose, carnival band, noise makers. and hawkers all competing for attention. Amateurs perform, puppets come to life, as- piring young athletes wrestle, staid business men try their hands at games of skill. When one sees his favorite King or Queen lagging behind, he puts his hand in his pocket, brings out a quarter and buys another half-dozen tickets. At eleven all gather in the auditor- ium to see Allen Zikmund and Evelyn Kokes crowned King and Queen of the carnival. Midnight finds cluttered halls and con- fetti strewn floors-but there is one hundred ninety-five dollars in the cash till. 36 1271
