Every girl in high school is a member of this organization, and its purpose is to bring the girls closer together in all activities to teach them to be tolerant and helpful, and to develop leadership. Guided by Mrs. Rena Parsons, girls' vice principal, this year has been one of useful activities. All new girls were made to feel happy and at home by the Big Sister organization. Just before Christmas the Girls' League furnished ai playhouse with toy furniture for the kinder- garten children of the Corona Gramm-ar School. Among the social events were a Hallowe'en party and Valentine party where all the incoming freshmen were given a Big Sister before they had time to become lonely. The business of this league is carried on by the Girls' League cabi- net, which is composed of the officers and the chairmen of the various committees. The officers for the first semester were Vivian Gardner, president, Mabel Jones, vice president, Elda Lokke, secretary, and Max- ine Frazier, treasurer. Vivian Gardner was chosen to lead the Girls' League again the second semester, with the help of Elsie Seehorn, vice president, Virginia Nuckols, secretary, and Beatrice Patterson, treasurer. The chairmen of the various committees were Kathryn McCune, Social, Natorma Pyle, Music, Frieda Jones, Flower, Marian Manley, Scholarship Fund, Charlotte Miller, Friendship, Virginia Nuckols, School Welfare, Clara Weidknecht, Finance, and Martha Ellert, Athletics. 27

ll Y' . 2 1 5 I 3 I Z S SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY Scholarship Society HE-Scholarship Society, although not the largest of the school organizations, stands first in rank of honor. It is organized for the purpose of fostering a higher standard of scholarship and broader ideals of service on the part of the students of Bell High School. With the aid of Miss Cochran and the other advisers, the progress of the Scholarship Society during the year 1927-1928 has been very great. The increase in membership is nearly 500 per cent of last year's enroll- ment. Perhaps the greatest achievement has been the admission of the Bell High School to the California Scholarship Federation. On January 19, the Scholarship Society had charge of the student body meeting. Miss Mary G. Miller, former president of the California Scholarship Federation, spoke on the history and motives of the Feder- ation and explained the advantages to be gained by acquiring member- ship in the Scholarship Society. Two of the members, Mabel Jones and Don Nelson, have been mem- bers of the Scholarship Society the entire four years of their highschool attendance. They have the honor of being the first of the members of Chapter 182 to receive the official Federation pin, the gold seal on their diplomas, and the certificate of life membership. The outstanding social function of the year was an initiation ban- quet held March 23. Another joyful event was the Scholarship party on Friday, January 13. The oiicers of the Scholarship Society the first semester were: Don Nelson, president 3 Kathryn McCune, vice president, Carol Nelson, sec- retary, and Mary McGraw, treasurer. Their good work was continued the second semester by Mabel Jones, president, Mildred Burress, vice president, and Emma Brown, secretary- treasurer. 28
