While girls Hague was for all girls, gate society was quite selectful fand had only gate and ap students. If you ' re a girl and attended DBMS, then you were in girls league. Gloria Duncan, advisor of Girls League com- mented, Every girl at DBMS is considered in Girls League. We don ' t ask for any dues, just ideas and active involvement. Some ideas accomplished during the year were girl of the month, where each month one girl would be chosen based on what she had done for the school through activity, the Val- entine ' s Day Semi-Formal held February 1 1 , at the Elks Club in Walnut, and girls ' slumber party held in the gum. The money made to sponsor these activities was made by selling candy grams and participating in Food Day. While Girls League was a group for all girls. Gate Society was quite a select group. Only people who participated in Gate or Advanced Placement (AP) classes could join this club. The purpose of Gate Society was to give students a chance to meet other students they might not have known through their classes alone, as well as to recruit other students into taking the more challenging classes. The club planned social events such as meeting for a movie or pizza as well as using their knowl- edge from class to help tutor other students who experienced difficulties. I feel the Gate Society helped all the stu- dents became self confident and I realize that although people did make negative comments about us, that doesn ' t mean we had to live up to their expectations and act like snobs. As a group, we can all relate to each other, com- mented junior Gate president Terri Deinlein. U ► Girls league.
