Every girl automatically becomes a mem- her when she enters school. Its purpose is to bring all the girls together and encourage friendliness and school spirit. This year the league welcomed new girls to school with “big sisters,” senior girls who show the new ones around and help them to become acquainted, held the Girls’ Jinx in the fall, worked for Christmas charities, sponsored the Mothers’ Tea, presented a scholarship to a deserving girl in June, gave three luncheons, knitted for Britain, maintained the girls’ club room, and managed the candy concession. This year the members of the league “adopted” a little girl in England. Regularly every month assemblies with programs and speakers of interest to girls were presented. Miss Ruth Preston was faculty adviser; Patty Lou Kennedy, Com' missioner of Girls’ Activities, was president; Shirley Pattison was secretary; Louise Crockett was program chairman; Carol Murray was sophomore adviser; Cleo Howell was senior ad- viser; Barbara Ira was club room hostess; Nan Bolender was candy sales manager; Janet Chidester was manager of Christmas charities. 18
