Stage Crew Work! Work! Work! Our able stage crew did just that all year. They put up and took down the auditorium chairs, pulled the cur- tain, took care of the stage and lighting, placed furniture and props for plays and as- sisted the janitor. Minstrels added cleaning to the various jobs. They held a few dances to raise money and at the end of the year, took their annual Pittsburgh trip for dinner and the Ice Capades. S. Draganac, E. Cigich, C, Zigaro- vich, V, Capets ajorettes The majorettes did a very fine job this year. Under the leadership of Dolores Trafi- cante and Nancy Majernik, they started prac- tice during the summer and worked hard throughout the football season. They marched at every game and emphasis was placed on the routines and dances performed at the half time shows. They held several dances to raise money in order to buy trophies for the two seniors. These girls also get jackets from the band. Seated, left to right-N, Majernik, D. Traticante. Standing-J. Fike, R. M, Petrini, M. Cunningham, N. Walko, E. Kain, J. Jones.

The G.A.A. not only takes in basketball, but volleyball and softball too. This gives the girls a better chance at sports all year round. The organization started the year oft by choosing Darlene Schrock to lead them through the year as President. The girls also elected Zora Yourcheck as Vice President, Patty Morocco as Secretary, and Dorothy Dra- ganac as Treasurer. The G.G.A. consists of the four upper grades ofthe high school. The membership is open to any one who wishes to ioin and each girl is given an even chance. The first activity played were the inter- class basketball games. They were bottled out by the Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior girls. The annual volleyball tournament games, which were played towards the end of the year, proved very exciting and were well sup- ported by the student body. Each year it has been a custom to give jackets to the graduating seniors who earned them on a point basis. This system is based on the girls activity in the club. Points were given for participating in the games, keeping score, keeping time and refereeing. However, due to so many extra activities in the gymnasium the G.A.A. members could not get the gym until the latter part of the year, thus leaving a money problem. Because of this problem, the only awards given were the Trafford T's. The Seniors who received these awards were Josephine Cim- prich, Nancy Maiernik, Dolores Traficante, Barbara Kopnitsky, Joyce Martino, Mildred Lapcevich, Patty Fundis, Juliann Bayko, Dar- lene Schrock, Carol Zeravica, Rose Marie Kuch- ta, Margie Bartakovich and Florence Geiger. The senior girls leave with this one thought in mind. They wish the G.A.A. luck and success in the coming season and they will never forget all the wonderful moments they shared together.
