I With bowling and recreational sports. G.A.A. members rounded out the year with individual rather than team competition. Team playing em- phasizes cooperation and sportsmanship, while in- dividual participation stresses the particular abili- ties and skills of each person. G.A.A. initiation is rough but fun. During most of the year, team games such as basketball, speedball and volleyball are promoted more than the individual games of badminton, darts, ping-pong, and bowling. These team games also count 100 points as against 50 points for individual competition. The points all add up and finally bring a letter to the proud athletic girl who belongs to G.A.A.

HERCULES Hercules is known to all as a strong man oj myth- ology. He was promised immortality if he could per- form twelve tasks that were regarded as impossible. These, in spite of every obstacle, he accomplished. And, just as Hercules is immortal, so too are the organizations oj VHS, immortal. Graduating seniors will never forget the gay times they spent at their club meetings, laughing and joking with fellow members and friends. The students who par- ticipated in band, choir, or orchestra will always remem- ber the tedious, but enjoyable times they spent practicing for their much looked-forward-to concerts. But even though many young students will enter and later leave forever the portals of VHS, they can be certain that their organization will always be a permanent fixture in Vir- ginia High School.
