This is one of the most useful in the Girls' League. Due to the great range of topics that can be discussed there is little trouble in finding interesting material. The book, Everyday Manners, which is particularly suitable for high school boys and girls, was used for reference. In addition to this, the girls applied some good sound judgment of their own. The club discussed such topics as table manners, correspondence, visiting, and the ever vital introduction question which is often cause for embarrassing situations. The girls were given subjects at one meeting to be enlarged the next one. These discussions brought about many facts necessary to social life. The study of etiquette required some serious concentration, but like most everything else it had its funny side, especially when the '6amateurs of the club began impersonating New York society. There is possibly no other phase of study that will be so useful at any time and any place as etiquette. Much has been written about etiquette, but Robert Burns, lines are known to all of us: O wad some power, the giftie gie us, To see oursel's as ithers see usll' Page Forty-nine

I ane Haller HE Dramatic Club was made up of girls from the ninth and tenth year classes. It was probably the largest club in the League, having an enrollment of more than seventy. The advisers were Miss Hunter and Miss Reed. Twice a month the members met to learn something about dramatics by giving plays. The advisers selected ten girls to serve as chairmen of the groups. Each chairman then made up a group of seven girls and together they prepared and presented a one-act play during one of the club periods. Before any acting was begun, the meeting was devoted to lessons in how to speak, stand, sit down, walk, etc., on the stage. In the plays given, the girls became kings, queens, naughty children, pirates and numerous other characters. Some of the plays given were: The Bad Penniesf, The Affair of the Slipper, and The Mouse. These plays were often amusing when they were intended to be serious, but everyone enjoyed them, anyway. The aim of the club was to give every girl an opportunity to be in one play before the end of the year. From the sale of tickets for the League Play, the girls made 31.45. They added to this, 31.85 from a grab-bag. This sum was further increased by presenting a play in school. Page Forty-eight

M arjorie Lotz HIS was the second year in the history of the Folk Dancing Club which was under the supervision of Miss Frances Cease. Both Junior and Senior High School girls were eligible for membership. The number enrolled this year was thirty-two. During the first semester the girls practiced exercises that aid in acquiring good posture and graceful carriage. These were followed by exercises to develop perfect balance, but many of the girls are still trying to remember that they dance on their toes and must keep their eyes from wandering Hoorward. Two folk dances were also learned, The Blekingf' a Swedish dance, and The Virginia Reel, an American dance. Eight of the girls worked out an original Gypsy dance which was used in the one act operetta, The Gypsy Queenf' For the second semester's meeting the club was divided into groups and each group was assigned a folk dance, which was presented during the club meetings. The drill work on these dances had to be done outside of the club period. Each group was responsible for knowing the type of costume needed and something of the history of the people with whom the dance originated. As a special project this year scrap books were kept by the club members and a prize was offered by the adviser for the best and most complete book. Page Fifty
