A. carried on widely varied ac- tivities during the year. During the first quarter the hoard spent most of its time making the yearly revision of its Constitu- tion. The newly created ottice of social director was used for the first time in order to co-ordinate social functions under one person. The otlice of vice-president was changed to sports manager. Her duty was to make out the calendar for intramural sports at the beginning of the season so that they would run harmoniously, as well as to carry on her former duties of vice-president. During the fall, the G. A. A. sponsored a hockey tie-up to stimulate interest in the sport. After a game of hockey, the girls hreezed up to the Y room for refresh- ments. The most anxiously anticipated event was the Hayseed Hop barn Dance, which was actually a combination of social and square dancing. lt was held at lda Noyes, with such appropriate decorations as hay, dummies, farm equipment. and checked ta- hle cloths. A few days later the hoard gave a winter tie-up with the closing game of has- kethall for the season. For the spring quar- ter the G. A. A. put on the traditional dime dinner, where all the girls were hrought to- gether for an afternoon of fun and a whole dinner for only lOc. To wind up the activi- ties for the year. the hoard held its animal banquet, where speakers were heard and the girls received their merited awards for in- tramural sports. . . . athletically minded Z4 Beverly Bullen. . .
