A 1 I 2 1 ix ADVANCE ,1 THE GlRL'S LEAGUE The Girls' League, organized by Miss Nina Graham, is a newly created institution in our school this year. At a meeting of all the girls early in the year, Miss Graham outlined the purpose and plans of such an association, with the result that everyone thought it a very good plan and became great- ly interested. The purpose of this organization is to foster the ideals of true woman- hood and to further all activities of the school and the community. It shall at all times try to promote a feeling of good sportsmanship, fellowship, and service among girls. To make possible a greater degree of cooperation, the larger league, which is composed of all girl students and women faculty members, is divid- ed into six smaller clubs or committees, with acliairman and a faculty spon- sor for each. Working under this system the girls become better acquainted with each other and everyone has an equal chance in various activities of the school. Much has already been accomplished by the committees. Many interesting programs have been given by the Program Club for the League meetings which are held monthly. Our feeling of sportsmanship and welcome toward visiting teams has been shown to a greater degree by means of the lunches served them by the Hospitality Club, and the appearance of the school has been greatly improved through the efforts ofthe members of the School Beautiful Club. The Loyalty, Social Etiquette, and Get-Acquainted Clubs have also accomplished much. The important social event of the League was the Hi-Jinks, which was held cn the evening of January 16th in the gymnasium. It was proclaimed a great success by everyone who attended. Representatives were sent from our school to the Girl's League Conven- tion in Eureka. They reported that althcugh cur league is very young, it is as far advanced as any which were represented at the convention. This shows that our league will become an organization of which our school may ,e Q ff not on

Marie Stromberg The Achievement Club, an athletic and typing girl's organization, is another of the many clubs which were formed at the beginning of this school year. All girls who have earned a letter "A" are eligible for member- ship in the club. The purpose of the club, as outlined in the constitution, is to "retain an ever-progressing standard of illustrative and practical develcitrnent of the factors for which it is organized in cooperation with the Faculty and Trustees of the A. U. H. S., aside from considering it a duty to uphold to the best of each member's ability, all the vital phases of our school." Several social gatherings, including a party to which the "A" Club boys were invited, were held by the club during the year. Numerous candy sales were also held, the money being used for the purchase of sweaters or pins for the girls of the club who graduated this year. - PARENT-TEACHERS ASSOCIATION Although the P. T. A. has been organized but a few months, it has already distinguished itself by its splendid cooperation with high school activities. Meetings are held in the high school auditorium monthly. The costumes for the annual county play were made by the members of the P. T. A. this year, and they also helped buy a uniform for the band. They are planning to furnish the flowers for graduation. The P. T. A. has proved itself quite worth while, and we can expect it to make rapid progress in the future. Following are the officers who were elected at the first meeting of the organization last October. President ...... - ........... ..----.--- ...... Mrs. L. I. Rowland Vice-Pres.-..- ...., Prin. A. O.
