Lns (Urdus Espannles The first and second year Snanish classes under the supervision of Miss Galst have organized two Spanish clubs. The officers are: First Year—co-chairmen, Peggy Wcstcrgrecn and Fred Eichhorn; secretary, Adcle Eichhorn; program chairman, Nancy Mason. Second Year —chairman, Barbara Smith; secretary, Geraldine Nason; program chairman, Phyllis Hughes. The clubs meet monthly for a program, which usually follows a theme set by Miss Galst such as: Pan American Day, Cuban Day, and Mexican Independence Day. Los estudiantes have learned many interesting things about the other Americas—the customs, food, dress, music, dancing, history, politics, and geographical points of interest. Some students have subscribed to “La Luz”, a newspaper printed in espatiol. Pi Fmppa Pi “JJxunLlif During President Adams’ administration, Norma Allen was vice president, Doris Poling was treasurer, Faye Poe was secretary, and Mary Nash was our chaplain. We met on an average of once every two weeks and discussed everything from Love” to Prejudice”, some of the topics being Friendship”, Self-Reliance”, Manners”, and Boys”. Our activities were just as diversified: Some of us took Red Cross First-aid; we had a surprise banquet on Mrs. Griffith, a beach party, a harc-and-hound hunt, and a good old-fashioned initiation in the girls’ shower room. We even spent one evening coloring Easter eggs for the boys at Camp Atterbury, and one Saturday tramping around Chicago. Miss Studcbakcr and Miss Minnicar were elected to help Mrs. Griffith sponsor us. Miss Anna Mary Knapp, for five years a co-sponsor of P.K.P., is overseas in American Red Cross Military Welfare Service. First rou : J. Crawford, F. Nason, I). Poling, M. Nash, A. Adams, F. Poc, I).

II A. A. G.A.A.” stands for Girls’ Athletic Association. Any girl in high school may become a member by participating in competitive games or indulging in individual sports. Its ideal is to create good sportsmanship, not only among the different classes but also among all the Gary high schools. G.A.A. extends the regular gym-class accomplishments of calcsthenics, team games, and social dancing with planned social and recreational activities: Early last fall there was a hamburger fry (and now they call Mrs. Griffith Wimpy”). Throughout the yeai we have gone on hikes, sponsored victory dances after basketball games and matinee dances on Friday evenings, and tried our hand at bowling. By winning the intra-mural baseball tourney, the seniors finished earning points enough to be awarded a place on the POST-TRIBUNE plaque (for the fourth consecutive year). The annual banquet, which had Spring for its theme, was held May 29. Miss DeVol and Mrs. Griffith are our sponsors. Page Twenty-seven
