M iss Ammon and Miss Treese N 1927, the Girls' League of the Hollidaysburg High School was organized for the purpose of guiding and preparing the girls for the responsibilities of life which they must face. Clubs, covering varied fields of interest, were formed to aid them in choosing a vocation or an avocation. Though each club has an individual project to work out and a certain goal or aim to reach, they work together with the League as a unit. All girls of the school are members of the League and each girl has her choice of a club. A The League was under the capable supervision of Miss Alverda Treese and Miss Marie Ammon. As in previous years, the Girls' League has sponsored a play. This year the story of 6'Huckleberry Finnv by Mark Twain was the theme of the play directed by Miss Anne Jones and Miss Betty Kemp. Harold Kunsman had the title role. Interesting programs for the regular monthly meetings were planned by com- mittees appointed hy the President. Page Forty-six

C atherine Bechtel Adviser ....... ............ M iss Mcllroy HE Commercial Sampler club, a new club introduced this year, aimed to give junior high school pupils, who wish to take the commercial course, a knowledge of the various studies in this department. - During the first semester the adviser, Miss Mcllroy, and the members of the club made a 'fknow your school townw survey of the business and professional places in Hollidaysburg where girls may secure employment after graduation. Since many of the members were not residents of this town, the adviser suggested that they visit several of these public places and thereby become more familiar with the business section of Hollidaysburg. The duties of a secretary were discussed and dramatizations on business etiquette were given. A little bookkeeping, typewriting, and shorthand were introduced during the second semester. The commercial seniors obligingly gave a demonstration in type- writing. The members of the club then learned a few basic principles of typewriting, and within a short time they were able to write words. This was followed by a brief study of shorthand and bookkeeping. The proper use of the telephone was finally discussed after which dramatizations on the correct and incorrect method of tele- phoning were presented, By the end of the year the girls felt that they had received a generous as well as a worth-while sample of the commercial work.
