M arjorie Lotz HIS was the second year in the history of the Folk Dancing Club which was under the supervision of Miss Frances Cease. Both Junior and Senior High School girls were eligible for membership. The number enrolled this year was thirty-two. During the first semester the girls practiced exercises that aid in acquiring good posture and graceful carriage. These were followed by exercises to develop perfect balance, but many of the girls are still trying to remember that they dance on their toes and must keep their eyes from wandering Hoorward. Two folk dances were also learned, The Blekingf' a Swedish dance, and The Virginia Reel, an American dance. Eight of the girls worked out an original Gypsy dance which was used in the one act operetta, The Gypsy Queenf' For the second semester's meeting the club was divided into groups and each group was assigned a folk dance, which was presented during the club meetings. The drill work on these dances had to be done outside of the club period. Each group was responsible for knowing the type of costume needed and something of the history of the people with whom the dance originated. As a special project this year scrap books were kept by the club members and a prize was offered by the adviser for the best and most complete book. Page Fifty

This is one of the most useful in the Girls' League. Due to the great range of topics that can be discussed there is little trouble in finding interesting material. The book, Everyday Manners, which is particularly suitable for high school boys and girls, was used for reference. In addition to this, the girls applied some good sound judgment of their own. The club discussed such topics as table manners, correspondence, visiting, and the ever vital introduction question which is often cause for embarrassing situations. The girls were given subjects at one meeting to be enlarged the next one. These discussions brought about many facts necessary to social life. The study of etiquette required some serious concentration, but like most everything else it had its funny side, especially when the '6amateurs of the club began impersonating New York society. There is possibly no other phase of study that will be so useful at any time and any place as etiquette. Much has been written about etiquette, but Robert Burns, lines are known to all of us: O wad some power, the giftie gie us, To see oursel's as ithers see usll' Page Forty-nine

D orothea McGee HIS year for the first time the Girl Reserve Club was organized in our high school as part of the Girls' League. The club was under the supervision of Miss Smiley. The aims of the Girl Reserves are to discover new things, to do things that are worthwhile, to have good times, to make and be real friends, to be of service to others, and to learn more about God and His world. At our first meeting Miss Esther l. Williams, Secretary of the Young Women's Christian Association, spoke to us of the purpose and ideals of the Girl Reserves and urged us to exemplify in our lives the principles of the Girl Reserve code. One of the club projects was the making of coverings for doll furniture which was given to some of the unfortunate children of our community at Christmas. In October we had a Hallowe'en party at the Young Womenis Christian Asso- ciation. All the girls were in costume. The evening was spent in playing games and singing, after which appropriate refreshments were served. Our group has forty-one members, consisting of girls from the seventh to the twelfth grades. These girls have caught much of the real spirit of the club. Since this was the first year for our club we feel that we have been successful and have accomplished the things we set out to do.
