250125 in the letters, G.A.A. The organization met weekly, and after a short meeting the girls headed for their favorite equipment. With student body money 37 girls turn out to pose the girls put on the Valentine Dance. The Girl's Athletic Association, better known as the G.A.A., serves as a sports activity for the girls. Since the weaker sex does not play football or go out for the other sports which support our school, they get their exercise through this organiza- tion. The active members learn good sport- manship and a desirable social conduct. Sponsored by the physical education in- structor, Miss Anderson, the girls partici- pated in many play days with other schools. They played volley ball, tennis, basketball, and volley-tennis. President was Barbie Kraut and Pat Clampitt was her vice-president. Secretary Pat Clampitt shows her best Pepsodent smile as G.A.A. officers -Secretary Mary Knowles, Presi- dent Barbie Kraut, Vice President Pat, and Treasurer Helen Fair- gather to discuss awards. wand Mary Knowles took down the minutes while Helen Fair counted the dough as treasurer of the club. The G.A.A. also put on the Valentine's Dance in February and put forth a lot of work helping the V. C. make the Sadie Hawkins Dance a success. The girls also had a very promising float in the Home- coming parade. Like the boys, the girls also have sweat- ers and letters. Their sweaters were white, and although the blue letters weren't quite as strenuous to earn, it is just as much an honor to Wear them, and the girls were very proud of them. Now that it's nearly over the G.A.A. pledges feel relieved enough to indulge in a few antics. Judy McKean scrubs the road as she sticks out her tongue and tickles her head. Is Barbara Corrion trying to squirt or kill Ileeta Reeder. Poor Mickey! Amelia Ledesma is smiling to try to convince herself this is fun as she scoots across the floor on her knees. .--vswf-xzxmaff-A we 1' .iz-fpzsf-Q'-sf:fN15-'ii--xV-'sara-awazniisammae..,::,..g f N... .

This year a football clinic was held at Trona for the benefit of the spectators of the two desert communities. The Bur- roughs and Trona squads participated in demonstrating the new rules and forma- tions. This was followed by a short scrim- mage, with both Burroughs and Trona players on each team. This was educational as well as creating a feeling of good sports- manship between the two schools. Picture of the clinic is shown at the top of the page. The squad is losing 11 seniors. Their pictures should all be at the bottom of the page, but since seniors are very busy, only six found time to oblige the photographer.
