The G.A.A. sponsored all the girls' basketball games and this year's Homecoming. Rick Johnson, the D..l. at WJJJ, played records for the I Homecoming dance. Ernest Washington and Beverly Edwards were crowned King and Queen. This year, the club started out by straightening out the G.A.A. point system and recalculating the number of points everybody has. To date, 250 points will earn a girl a G.A.A. letter, 100 more points a bar, and 100 additional points a star. Initiation: the torture that all new members have to go through, was on November 16, and to Continue the ritual, the girls stayed after school. Approximately 10 girls were subjec- ted to the ordeal. The G.A.A. has many plans for future girls' sports and with everyone's help, they'll accomplish them. D. J. from WJJJ makes music at Shawnee City 40
