GIRLS’ SPORTS Girts’ ATHLETICS play an important role in the pageant of school life. Seven years ago, through the efforts of Miss Clara McLaurin, the Girls’ Athletic Association made its debut into the Richmond Union High School. More than 150 girls gather in the eirls’ gym every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday afternoon for the purpose of creating good fellowship and playing games that they enjoy. Advisers of girls’ ath- letics do not recommend school competition, but the girls get some competition from interclass games. There are six teams that play against each other: Low Sophs, High Sophs, Low Juniors, High Juniors, Low Seniors, and High Seniors. G. A. A. SEASONS Any girl can be pleased in athletics. Hockey, which is the most popular sport, is played at the beginning of the fall semester. The mid-term game is volley-ball for those who like a less active sport. In the spring basketball fiends can shoot buckets, pivot, juggle, and play basketball to their hearts’ content. In the middle of the term ithe sport changes from basketball to baseball. For those who especially like swim- ming or tennis, lessons are given by the gym instructors. Miss McLaurin teaches tennis on Thursday mornings on the courts across from the City Hall. Miss Bagley conducts swimming classes on Tuesday evenings at the Natatorium. NUMERALS AND HOCKEY This term’s hockey teams no doubt have caused our gym instructors more anxiety than any teams before it. The Low Juniors, High Juniors, and Low Seniors played off the semi-finals with exactly the same amount of games won and lost, and, stranger still, with exactly the same total of goals. The first game of the finals eliminated the High Juniors from the tournament. The Low Seniors and Low Juniors played off three games, all of which ended in ties. It was because of this that hockey season had to be extended three weeks. After they had played two tie games, Miss McLaurin asked the girls if they would rather have the next night’s game end the tournament or if they would rather play three more games. Each team, afraid of the other’s strength, came back with a decision in favor of three more games. The first two games were ties. The Juniors won the last game by a score of 2-1. By winning this game the Low Juniors also won their numerals. If another tie game had been played, both teams would have received numerals. G. A. A. AWARDS Besides striving for friendship and fun, every G. A. A. member strives for her awards. The highest award is the gold pin. Not only does this pin mean that the girl has earned 600 points, but also that she knows the fundamentals of swimming and tennis. Alice Olson, commissioner of Girls’ Athletics, was the only one to receive her eold pin this semester. Five hundred points is the goal for the Winged R, the next highest award. Bearers of the Winged R are: Catherine Bastin, Matilda Dudziak, Alta Nelson and Amelia Rosales. The Circle R is the 400 point award. Circle R’s were given to Pearl Anderson, Loretta Andrade, Mary Baldwin, Frances Christ, Opal Gillman, Zola Hardisty, [la Drouin, June Hopper, Marie Markus, Winifred Renfree, Miriam Walsh, and Edelene Winters. The three lowest awards are: Star, 300 points: Second Chevron, 200 points; First Chevron, 100 points. These latter three awards are given out at the mid-term and end-term banquets. At the end of each game season a banquet is held.
