» 9 3 2 THE T O K A 1932 October 25. Girls’ League I he Girls’ League is an organization composed of all the girls in the Grants Pass High School. Meetings are held once a month, and topic of interest to the girls in general are discussed. At the beginning of each year the girls select an objective for which they work, during the year. The money raised from the hot dog and candy sales sponsored this year by the gids was to be spent for new library books. Early in the year the girls gave a co-ed party welcoming the freshmen girls. The senior girls also entertained the faculty at a delightful tea served in the Home Economic room. One of the most important events of the year was the Mother’s tea which was given near Mother’s Day. After the style show of the dresses made by the girls of the sewing classes, and a short program, tea was served in the upper hall and a social time was enjoyed by the girls and mothers. The officers for this year were LeNora Brown, president; Nedra Whitsett, vice-president ; Thelma Stringer, secretary; and Lola Myers, treasurer. The heads of the departments were Alice Hilles, entertainment; Eleanor Hood, activities; and Wilma Copple, social service. Miss Doerner was chosen to assist Mrs. Marcy in advising the Girls League. How did the wedding go off? Fine, until the parson asked the bride if she would obey her husband. What happened then? She replied, “Do you think I’m crazy?” And the groom, who was in sort of a daze, answered, “I do.” It’s a good thing for a lot of people that a looking-glass can’t laugh. October 29-30. Teachers’ Institute On these two days the students rejoiced in the fact that for once the faculty had to attend classes” without them. Perhaps the faculty also rejoiced—who knows? In addition to outside speakers and programs, those attending Institute were entertained by the Boys and Girls Glee Clubs and by the orchestra. 113)
