Janesville High School

The Phoenix 1924

Girls' Athletic Association

Janesville, Rock County, Wisconsin

The G.A.A. for the year 1923-24 has been one of the best and most successful organizations in Janesville
High School.
This year we organized soon after school and elected officers. Helen CUSHING was elected President;
Helen RILEY as Vice-President; Louise HOORT as Secretary; and Katherine DENNING as Treasurer. We have a great many more Major sports this year, and we elected heads of each sport as follows: For Soccer, Helen RILEY; Volley Ball, Alice WARD; Swimming, Cora Lee BEERS; Basketball, Louise HOORT; Baseball, Mildred MALMBERG; Track, Lillian ELLES; Hiking, Gladys MILLER; Gym Representative, Catherine DENNING; and Junior High Representative, Margaret HEMMING.
We had initiation and took in about four more new members. We now have an organization of about fifty
members.
At the first of this year we played Volley Ball and Soccer. We did nothing with Soccer, however, but
expect to have some more work-outs in the spring. The Volley Ball season was fine, though. There were a great many out and much interest shown. The 10B's won the tournament, and as usual there was a big banquet afterwards.
After Volley Ball came Basketball. There were some excellent teams and it was a hard fought tourna-
ment. There was a triple tie for championship. There was a big banquet and all the teachers were invited.
On the 14th of April was the big Annual Inter-Class Meet.
Besides all this, we have had many hikes and picnics, as well as bob-rides.
Many have earned their required 500 points for a small J.H.S. and a few have earned 800 points for a
large J.H.S.
