A girl automatically becomes a member of the League upon entering school and is expected to take a part in its activities. The dues are fifteen cents a semester and are used to pay for the social work of the organization, such as assisting girls who cannot pay for their lunches and buying uniforms for those unable to do so. ln the fall of the year comes the long awaited Blue and Silver Ball. Held in our gym, this dance was attended by approximately five hundred couples. Also the League runs a date bureau and a usedgformal shop on the side. Comes Spring and the Fvery Girl's Dinner, attended by the girls in their home room groups. Bach group decides what food it will have and what its table decorations will be. These decorations are judged and prizes are awarded. To keep the incoming freshmen from facing their first year at North High feeling too forlorn and lost, each one is provided with a ffbig sisterf, This big sis- ter is an older, more experienced girl, usually a sophomore, who shows the fresh- man around school and explains to her the Honor System, the opportunity room, and all the things that make high school seem so complicated to the young. l c 14
