The Girls Athletic Association sponsored their first G.A.A. play day in October of this year, with the theme My Lucky Day.” Although it was a lot of hard work, everyone agreed that it was a success and good publicity for Valley High. Some plans were made about having one in the spring for the future sophomore girls. Some of the girls in G.A.A. earned local and state awards by participating in all of the association’s activities and also by after school activities of bowling and swimming. Farrell Myers and Wadena Pickrel, active members, attended G.A.A. camp at Bloomington. The girls told of their various activities and of the new friends they made at camp. Also they brought back many new ideas for the organization and in doing this the whole G.A.A. was benefited. In February, the G.A.A. held its annual carnival to provide funds for the various activities. As in years before, the carnival was a great success. The officers were as follows: president, Marilynn Suydam; secretary, Verna Leigh- ton; treasurer, Wadena Pickrel. Mrs. Warfield, our able adviser, deserves much credit for our successful year in G.A.A. 15
