Girls' Sports Every girl in the school is a member of the Girls' Athletic Association which is divided into two teams: the Blue and the White. In the spring they hold their annual show which is a competition between the two teams. This year the theme, Story Book, was carried out in marching, cheerleading, tum- bling, tap dancing, and modern dance. Demonstrations were given on the parallel bars and on the flying rings. The teams are judged on the basis of originality, costumes, precision, and presentation. At the end of the year, girls who have accumulated enough points from the G.A.A. show and the other athletic activities are presented with G.A.A. awards. High achieve- ment is rewarded by the N. J. State Athletic Association for those who have received seventy or more points during the year. During the past year a girls' basketball team was formed, headed by Captain Ginny Godfrey.
