G. A. A. orrlcens President ........................ Ina DeMoss Vice President ................ Lois Carter Secretary ........ Rosemary Chergoski Treasurer ........................ Irene Bagy Sports Manager..Mary Ellen Hyduk CARTER CHERGOSKI DeMOSS BAGY HYDUK The G. A. A. is an organization to pro- mote interest in girls physical training, games, health, and sportsmanship. The goals of each member of the club are local and state awards. To obtain these, a girl must earn a required number of points in athletics, scholarship, health, and sportsmanship. The first local award, the class numeral, is given for 600 points, the second local award, the school numeral, is given for 1200 points. The two state awards, the letter I and the minature State of Illinois, are received for 1600 and 2000 points respectively. Although the G. A. A. is mainly inter- ested in athletics it also has its social side. A swimming party followed by a chili supper was held in September. This gave the girls a chance to become acquainted. On October 18, Ina DeMoss, Mary Ellen Hyduk, Bernadine Gall and the two physical education teachers, Miss Skurte and Miss Govas, attended a G. A. A. Con- ference at Peoria. There were special discussion groups for the teachers and the students in the morning. In the after- noon there were demonstrations on how to play several different games. Sixteen girls attended the play day which was held on October 2'6, at Ottawa. A Christmas splash party was held on December 14. At the party gifts were exchanged and refreshments were served. Nancy Pickworth and Anne Keller were chosen to represent the group at the G. A. A. Camp at Lake Geneva, Wiscon- sin this summer. 20

l i 1 PLAY DAY On October 25, a busload of G. A. A. mem- bers, accompanied by Miss Govas and Miss Skurte, attended a play day at Ottawa. Because of the bad weather, the girls had to stay in- doors. However, a good time was had by all. The Various teams were given names of pro- fessional baseball teams. Relays, swimming, kickball and bat-ball were among the sports enjoyed. There was a late lunch and group singing before the girls left for home. The girls who made the trip were: Lois Carter, Georgia Ladtkow, Bernadine Gall, Marilyn Hozie, Ina DeMoss, Mary Ellen Hyduk, Phyllis Sparks, Marilyn Shinky, Dorothy Shannon, Nancy Pickworth, Claudette Lechner, Marilyn Thew, Charlotte Pollett, June Ferguson, Ther- esa Chergoski and Georgene Farrington. GIRLS SPORTS ARCHERY Archery was one of the iirst fall sports in which G. A. A. members could participate. It was held on Friday afternoon after school under the instruction of Mrs. Mehall. Al- though no tournament was held this year, the girls learned a great deal, and, through practice, they improved their aims. SOCCER Soccer was also an early fall sport. It was held on Tuesday after- noons after school, under the direc- tion of Mrs. Mehall. Instead of per- manent teams, the girls chose their own teams each time they played. No regular tournament was held. BOWLING G. A. A. bowling began in the lat- ter part of September under the sup- ervision of Miss Skurte. The girls met at the Streator Bowling Lanes after school on Tuesdays, and they were divided into teams. Individual scores were kept, and they were not too high because most of the girls were beginners. Both fall and winter bowling sessions were held, although there was no tournament. Nancy Pickworth and Phyllis Sparks man- aged the first session of bowling, and Marilyn Walling managed the second. Look what I did! G. A. A. Bowlers Strike-Wow! ! ! 22
