The Granny Girls Organization first formed in 1966 by Dorothea "Granny" Heitz and fifteen San Fernando Valley State College students, to act as hostesses at sporting and homecoming events and to promote a spirit of friendship and camaraderie on the campus. By 1969 there were thirty student club members that met at their favorite campus hangout, "The TUB" (Temporary Union Building), to party and plan activities. The University honored Dorothea Heitz for her contributions by establishing the Heitz Award for Outstanding Volunteer Leadership. Color photograph, 3.5 x 3.5 in.
