Q, t eww mm , O, K. Come on team! l..et's go! ! l Watch that forward! Yes, that's typical conversation each Tuesday and Thursday night as the G. A. gang get their joints limbered up and their otherwise heavi- ly taxed minds relaxed. Soccer and field hockey are the two fall sports, but as soon as cold weather arrives, the girls begin to practice for the volleyball tournament. ltis nothing to see a team stack up a score of 70 points in a game! The seniors did exactly that to clinch the volleyball tournament. The junior G. A. A. 'ers surely know their basketball. They are proud of themselves for winning the tourney. But who can blame them? Girls who wish to play for championships in the lighter sports, such as badminton and ping pong do so toward the end of winter. Baseball, tennis, and archery are the popular spring sports. Remember those freakish-looking girls you saw walking around school one day last December? They were the 35 freshmen being initi- ated into the G. A. A. After an entire day of wearing queer clothes combinations and suffering various other humiliations, they were given a party by the old members. This was done in grand style with plenty of food to revive the worn out initiates. A sum of l00 points is the initial requirement for membership, while l200 win a B. Besides the 35 new members there are 29 sophomores, 25 juniors and I2 seniors, making a total membership of lOl athletic-minded girls. The girls who kept the meetings in order, the records down pat, and figured out points were: Betty Jaeckels, president: Dolly Kenny, vice-president: Mary Schowalter, secretary treasurer: and Kay Kircher, the point secretary Miss Welch, who is in charge of the organ ization, was ably assisted by Miss Zamorski. The girls are fond of both of their leaders and appreciate the time they have spent with them. 3 Page seventeen G. A. A.
