The season was closed with a banquet at which a num- ber of girls were awarded their letters and stars. The second term began with speedball and ended with participation in individual sports, either baseball or badminton- G.A.A. girls officiated at Girls' Day, and the semester ended with the presentation of letters and stars to the different members.
