Girl Reserves, a division of the Young Women's Christian Association, organized in Montgomery High School in 1926, is one of the oldest and most active clubs in school. Since 1928 it has been sponsored by Mrs. Wilkinson. The purpose of Girl Reserves is to develop high school girls along the three-fold line of body, mind, and spirit. Consequently, the yearls work is built around spiritual, mental, and social activities. The weekly meetings with programs planned and executed by the girls aim to develop the mental and spiritual side. Each Thanksgiving and Christmas the club adopts a family for which it provides food, boys, and even articles of clothing. For the past eight years it has presenrted to the school a gift, ranging from special speakers brought in and all girl teas to gifts of a bulletin board, dictionary, a clock, and other articles for the use of the whole school. All money for these activities is earned by the girls through candy sales and other enterprises. For the physical side the club maintains a basketball team, which this year won the intra-mural trophy, and other athletic groups, and it also enjoys hikes and picnics. The chief social event of the group is the annual Spring formal dance, given this year in honor of St. Patrick's day. 7.-Q X Page Thirty nme
