GIRLS' LEAGUE This year marked the beginning of a good many new features in the QQIRLS, Lnixenn. lt sponsored the Student Aid Squad and the Red Cross First Aid Class, the membership of which included both boys and girls. The Student Aid Squad was organized to help absent students make up their work. The Senior Social Hour, which was started this year, helped to fur- ther the acquaintance of the boys and girls in the Senior class. This was done by hav- ing teas to which two or more Home Room groups we re invited. A Girls' League paper. the BZ Beacon , was published this year for the first time. Mrs. Craig's Home Room group submitted the 11a1ne which was selected for it. This paper was published with the purpose of editing Girls, League news, and thus making each girl better in- formed of the workings of the League. It was published once each month. A new department, the Big and Little Sister department, was added. This 'department had a hard job, for it had to supply each incoming Freshman ,girl with a suitable t'Big Sister. Another help for the ldreshnian girls was 'the Senior Sponsor. Each Freshman Home Room group of girls had a .Senior girl to help them. GRACABIGL Swim The annual Frolic, this year called 4 The Mother Goose Carnival, was held in the gym as usual, and cleared about seven hundred dollars. About fifty families were fhelped through the annual Christmas Party for the poor children of the city, held on December 23. A big Christmas tree was :set up in front of the auditorium and the -children gathered around it. A short pro- gram was given, and then Santa Claus dis- tributed toys and candy. Baskets were dis- tributed by the Service Department at Thanksgiving and Easter. The fourth annual Every Girlis Dinner was held during the iirst part of March in the cafeteria. The central theme of the -dinner was ttMy Blue Heaven. The deco- . rations and programs were centered around this idea. Miss ETHEL ROSENBERRY i221

This present tendency of placing the management of the school in the hands of representative student government has shown great strides here, and greater suc- cess is predicted for it in the years to come. It has become a better plan since its if first adoption -in the school by a number of B additions and improvements which have been made. During the past two years the advisory system and the Student Body Council were adopted. The former system i is that of having the students divided into home room groups which meet every Tues- day. Each of these groups is under the personal direction of a faculty member. One interesting feature about the system is having the groups composed of the same students and adviser for the entire high school course. The Student Body Council consists of the chairman of each home room The purpose R ART Go RMAX group and the members of the associated Board of Control. of this plan, by which many important school qftstions are decided, is to convey the ideas of the administration to the st ents. The judiciary unit of this student body government is the Board of Control, tl1e personnel of which is: President, Vice-President and Secretary of the associated student body 3 the four class presidents, a boy and girl representa- tive from each class, and the faculty ad- viser. This board meets each Tuesday to decide matters of discipline and other school questions. Any student in the school may appear at any time before the board. The present form of government in the school has become a major factor in the organization of this institution. The ad- vantages of having such a form are obvious. Students' problems are decided by stu- dents. There is no ill-feeling from the de- cisions made. The purpose of such a gov- ernment is to prepare boys and girls to till their places in this nation as citizens with due respect for higher law. VVILLIAIVI STONE l 21 l
