these tandem pictures and scenes A cloud of dust, the sound of hoofs, a hunting roar, and the G.A.A. girls were off to another rousing after- school game. Supported by the more than 250 mem- bers, the G.A.A. Board and its advisor, Miss Mertz, in addition to the many sports activities, planned a varied schedule. Social events for the year in- cluded a Christmas party, a play-day at Redlands, a Mother-Daughter tea, and the G.A.A. Banquet. At all hours of the day the gym was crowded with those girls who had come to admire or to criticize a newly-knitted scarf or sweater, in addition to those who had just come to p1ay. Dingy skirts and shorts, pincurls, and bandanas were all part of the latters' scenes. Their groans were not regarded as out of the ordinary either, especially in the hockey season which claimed the greatest number of bangs and bruises. When the gym hour was over, many were the weary girls who wished for an elevator or escalator as they trudged up the endless flights of stairs to their classrooms. The women's physical education department was fortunate in retaining four of its five members. The new addition was Mrs. Sharp, who returned to the staff after a year's absence during which she studied dancing. Other members of the staff were: Miss Cole, Miss Mertz, Mrs. Ketcham, and Mrs. Keifer. Under these teachers' direction, a new high in sportsman- ship was reached. G.A.A. BOARD First row: Vecchio, Sims, McClelland, Hackett, Chapman, Sides. Second row: Evans, president: Hagen. Rinqstrom. Killenqworth, Stevens, Lewis, Miss Mertz.
