l 'l'1'.l D't Om OZ UIDJWF' GIl2l.'S SPORTS The main activity of the Girls' Athletic Association this year was the sponsoring of the annual fall playday of Ventura county which was held at Santa Paula on November 3. Girls from Fill- more, Oxnard, Ventura, illoorparlc, Ojai, Carpenteria, and Santa Barbara participated. lfach school came as a dude ranch, and, as the girls arrived, they were herded into the gym where they were branded. They then assembled on the football field for a posture parade, after which the girls formed teams representing their dif- ferent ranches and met their opponents in basketball, volleyball, and tennis. At noon, luncheon was served in the cafeteria. Immedi- ately following lunch, the guests were entertained in the auditorium by the Three Shades of Harmony, and the sophomore and junior Hi-Jinks stunts. Miss Rayma VVilson, physical education instructor, then presented Caroline Giacomazzi, president of the local G. A. A., with a first place banner and the perpetual G. A. A. trophy cup which is awarded each year at the fall playday to the school winning first place. Second and third place honors went to Ventura and Ojai. respectively. On a cold, smudgy morning, lllarch 9, fifty girls piled into the high school bus. Their destination was Carpenteria, where they were to participate with girls from eight other schools in the annual spring playday. The theme was Olympic Games of '36'l, and our school was asked to represent England. An outdoor program had been arranged, but due to the sudden change of weather, the games had to be held indoors: nevertheless, everyone had a grand time. On another cold, rainy day in lllarch, twenty-five senior girls journeyed to Santa Barbara State Teachers College. Upon arriving, they were changed into Pirates, and, with their captain in the lead, they went forth to seek the Treasure. After many dangerous ex- periences Cmeaning strong competition in volleyball, shuffle board, and badminton games, and a posture paradel, Captain Long John Silver and his pirates came back with a chest laden with gold dollars. After lunch was served, the girls started home. The girls' sport year was successfully ended by a physical edu- cation demonstration held hlay V7.5 Both boys and girls participated in this program, which included tumbling acts, boxing matches, gymnastics, wrestling, and dancing.
