p (Girls ' Atblrtir Aasoriatinn ERHAPS it was thouiiht, because of the tew boys at H. S. N. S. this year, that there would be no athletics. Well, the girls have done their very best and have kept B. S. N. S. athletics alive. The Girls ' Athletic Association helped to do thi cr thiny;. - - ■ Our first meetini: of the girls was called December 5th, 1018. The first thing to be done in our meeting was the election of (jfficers, and the following were elected for the year: Lillian Fisher President Muriel Griffiths Vice-President Priscilla ' oung Secretary Harrriett Luhman Treasurer Mary Durkin Manager of Varsity The newly elected officers were then installed and the business meeting followed. We had a large bill for hocke sticks to be paid, and this took all the money from the treasury. It was very difficult to find a way to get money in the treasury again because of the various war activities this year, such as Liberty I oans, the r L C. A. Cam- paign. Retl Cross Drive, and others, to which we gave freely. The way decided to make mone was that ot haxing our class Basketball games on Saturday night and charging admission. The financial collectors of the association worked their very best and collected the ear ' s dues. The girls of this ear ha e kept the motto — Fun, decided on in I ' iS. All those who attended the class games will say that they had their share of Fun there. Also another place of Fun was found in the Spring of 1Q18, when on back cam- pus you could set a group of girls playing croquet or quoits with a set bought by our Association. ' Fhis Spring, one more feature of Fun will be added, and that will be Hocke . It has been decided that e ' ery year the money left in the treasury will be used to buy something that will further Girls ' Athletics in Normal, together with their idea of P ' un. This ear the Association decided to buy swings for on the campus. These we know w ill be enjoyed b all the students of the coming years. Fhere are nian other e ents which occurred this year, but our space is limited : so it is all said in this: The girls this year are proud to say that they enjoyed them- selves and worked well tn keep up the athletic life and spirit of the school.

Griffiths President Benetlicta Corrigan Vice-President Harriet Gulden Secretary Lucia Hamniund Treasurer HE fjirls ' Dormitory Club is an oreanizatiiin made up of all the twirls who live in the Dormitory. The aim ot the Club is to promote the welfare of the girl student body and to have an organization For the Girls, Of the the ( irls, and 1? the (jirls. The Girls ' Dormitiir Club is an advantage to the girls in many ways. It binds all of the trirls living in the Dormitory more closeK together and brings them into a clo-er relationship with the hall teachers. The G. D. C. was organized by the girls in the fall of 1017, when 221 girls entered as charter members. ( )ur m.embership this ear is e en larger, as all the new girls that came in became members immediateh. Th work of the G. D. C. is done by Committees. These Committees are ap- pointed by the President and rep(jrt at every regular meeting, which is held on the last Thursday evening of each month. The Committees are as follows: Membership, Initiation. Reading ' . Music, (i;n-.e, Re.reation, Room and Grievance. The Club has taken over tlie responsibility of the Ci. R. l.. and it is the ambi- tion of the Cj. D. C. to make the room the most attracti e in the school. A fund is kept from which magazines are purchased ; but tliis vear we gave this fund to the American Red Cross. We ha e had a very successful year, but we know that the rext ear will be just as successful, because our under-classmates of the Girls ' Dormitory Club are capable of holding up the Club ' s reputation.
