We girls also put forth energy, show Hurry up, you're late, or Well, we tried anyway are some of the phrases heard floating around on Mondays and Tuesdays when Senior High GAA was in action. GAA is an organization for all sports-minded girls. Its purpose is to pro- mote the real meaning of sportsmanship. The usual volleyball, basketball, and soft- ball games were played. Miss Swanson and Miss Rompa directed the GAA activi- ties with an executive board assisting them. Angie Mau was chosen president, Norma Saunders, vice president, and Ivalee How, secretary-treasurer. A referee's club was organized to ref’ all the games. All in all, it was great fun. GAA BOARD AND OFFICERS. ROW 1: 1. Howe, A. Mau, N. Saunders. ROW 2: M. Tighe, J. Beckius, J. Curry, F. Howe, K.

good sportsmanship and skill, in GAA Junior High girls are able to use their athletic ability by participating in GAA. Many new skills were learned as these girls participated in soccer, volleyball, indoor and outdoor softball, and basket- ball. Those pennies didn't do much good in trying to keep the teams separated. It seemed like we were always throwing the ball to the wrong person. Locker rooms seem to get more crowded every year. It caused plenty of commotion but was loads of fun. Someone's shoes were always being mislaid. To end a memorable year, the seventh, eighth, and ninth grade girls held their picnic at the Memorial Park. JUNIOR HIGH GAA BOARD AND OF- FICERS. ROW Is S.
