X W- - HE Art League is as old as Hughes itself and has grown to be an inseparable part of our school. VVhen the present building was tlrst completed, the League consisted of the Senior girls, organized for the purpose of beautifying the interior of the building. Then, because of the wonderful results accom- plished, the Senior boys became niernbers, and finally the entire student body was included. Thus the Art League grew and grew, until today it is our largest club. We cannot picture what Hughes would be without the Art League. There would be no Rookwood work, no friezes or Winged Victory in the front hall, and the walls would be quite dull and bare without the beautiful pictures and paintings. All these works of art the League has furnished. In providing famous and beautiful pictures, statuary, and other art treasures, the Art League serves a two-fold purpose -it beautifies the interior of the building and exercises a subtle influence upon the student body. The pupils, looking at the best in art day after day, unconsciously develop an appreciation of the beautiful. They learn to know and appreciate art here and elsewhere. The exterior of Hughes is glorious because of the beauty of the Tudor architecture and because of the location of the building, crowning as it does the brow of the hill: no less inspiring is the interior, enhanced and adorned with the trophies purchased by the League. The Art League has in tlie past kept, and will continue in the future to keep, the banners of Hughes against the skies. VIRGINIA WELLS, '28. One hundred seven

It was founded thirteen years ago,for the purpose of inspiring in the girls of the Senior Class the highest ideals of honor and fair play, ideals which will carry through not only in school life, but in all future undertakings after school days are over. In accordance with the custom at Hughes, the first two weeks of the school year found the girls of the Honor League wearing bright red felt bands on their arms, acting in the time-honored capacity of Freshies' Aids, ready and willing to lead the confused and hesitant Freshmen through the maze of halls and corridors. In order to strengthen this friendly relationship between the Seniors and the Freshmen. every Senior girl adopted two or three Little Sisters, and did her best to teach them something of the ideals and traditions of Hughes. Our monthly meetings have been a source of inspiration, for they have reminded us of the little things we may do every day to help some one. In some of the meetings we had most interesting talks by some of the girls them- selves upon ideals of honor and courtesy. We deeply appreciate the untiring cooperation of Miss Julia Bentley, our sponsor, who has done so much to make this year a pleasant and successful one, and who has helped us at all times to apply the motto of the Honor League to our daily life: To do the thing I know is true, And should not be ashamed to do: To help to make some others see The thing that so appeals to me.
