— (ts4t6ietic rfMoccatiatt)— These GAA members are seen enjoying a lively game of volleyball. Building a pyramid seems to be a favorite of the GAA tumbling. Basketball was another popular GAA sport. Among the changes made was the revisal of the point system. The new system was unanimously accepted. Much more time was spent on each sport and they were enjoyed more because of the new gymnasium. The members of GAA had a tumbling team which performed at basketball games and they also sponsored a sock dance which was a success. On the whole they were very busy and had an enjoyable year. 1st ROW: E. Anderson, H. Russel, M. Lightburn, E. Dale, A. Hack-mann, G. Crackel, N. Forler, S. Franklin, C. Cristel, J. Melton, N.
