Mercer Girls Composed of twenty-five per cent of the senior girls whose selection was based on service points and character, Mer- cer Girls eagerly served Mercer Island High School. They worked diligently in such activities as selling programs and tickets at football and basketball games, ushering at plays and assemblies, and giving their reliable service to the Foreign Exchange Club and other organizations. Mercer Girls ioined the Boy's Service Club in sponsoring the annual Christmas Ball, which had to be rescheduled be- cause of severe winter weather. Hospitality was extended outside the school in functions with loyalty clubs from other schools in the Kingco and Metro Leagues. Such meetings were beneficial in the ex- change of ideas of service for the betterment of each school. Under the leadership of Trina Thompson, president, Cori Allamano, vice-president, Ann Morrison, treasurer, Barb Temple, secretary, and Mrs. White and Mrs. Shorett, their advisers, this honorary service group expressed all of those qualities that go into making a Mercer Girl.
