Clubs Promote Interest in Sports Volleyball, basketball, and softball were just a few of the activities that the GIRLS' RECREATIONAL ASSOCIATION (GRA) participated in this war. A primary objective of each member was to accumulate enough points in hopes of attaining a GRA emblem. While meeting for enjoyment, the girls stressed physical fitness. Miss Nenadich was advisor. Eligible for membership as a result of their contribution to VHS sports, the LETTER MEN showed enthusiasm in a variety of ways.
