G. A. A. G.A.A.Moottnq Decorating Committee T The Autumnl-lop The Senior Girls' Athletic Association, which was organized in 1936 for the upper three classes of the high school and for the purpose of promoting athletic interests for the girls in this school, had a very successful year. The club is governed by a constitution, and new members are initiated. According to tradition, the Senior girls received pins. The organization raised money by sponsoring the noon programs, in co-operation with the Varsity They also sold refreshments, pro- grams, and the school colors at the home games arid the Basketball Tournament. To further in- crease the funds, the Autumn Hop was given in November, a show in December, and luke Box dances after the Clay and Waterville bas- ketball games. During the school year the G. A. A. girls earned over five hundred dollars. Refreshments-Autumn Hop The major use for this money was the Athletic Banquet and Dance, which this year included baseball players for the first time, and gave the G. AIA. girls a guest list of one hundred and seventy. This number included the faculty and club members. Other expenses for the club were new uniforms for the cheerleaders, G. A. A. pins for all Senior girls, and cheerleaders' awards. The girls played basketball after school hours under the direction of Miss Callin who also directed the minstrel which was presented in March with much success. Our advisor, Mrs. Potter, has assisted in all of the activities and has always been more than willing to lend a helping hand and to cffer sugestions which helped toward a success- ful year.

The original club was organized in the fall of 1941 and was active only until the close of basketball season that same school year. ln the fall of 1942 under the direction of Mr. B. I. Bishop and Mr. W. A. Fulghum, the Varsity reorganized, wrote its own constitution, and elected ofifcers. Membership has increased from the original eleven to twenty-two. At the time of reorganization, the purpose of the Varsity H was to supervise the wearing of letters, in order that only those who were eligible to wear letters might do so. At the annual Athletic Banquet, each Senior member is given a varsity key, emblematic of having won a varsity letter in sports and having been a part of the organization, and a silver replica of the ball used in the sport in which he earned his letter. All letter awards are made through the efforts of the Varsity H. At the first meeting this year the following officers were elected: loseph Iohnoff, President: Samuel Scott, Vice President: Lester Davidson, Secretary-Treasurer, Gene Gibson, Reporter, William Urban, Sergeant-at-Arms. After the football season in November, the club held its initiation party for Lester Davidson, George Kent, Ervin Kokocinski, Donald Kulwicki, Russell Bannister, Frank Gozdowski, Edward Burgin, Raymond Myers, and lack Bade. Varsity H has sponsored noon programs which consisted of dancing, quiz shows, wrestling, and movies every other week in con- junction with the G. A. A. Varsity H paid one half of the insurance fee of all athletes partici- pating in a group insurance policy. This was the first time that insurance has been carried for the benefit of the players. This year the Varsity H has voted to sponsor the William A. Fulghum trophy for the out- standing Senior in athletics and scholarship. The winner of this award will have his name en- graved on the trophy and will receive a key emblematic of this award. This trophy will always be on display in the trophy case.
