Qtbe ,freshman Qlluh The Freshman Club is composed of the girls of the Freshman Class. It is pro- moted by the Y. W. C. A., and run on a plan similar to that of the Girls' Club. In other Words, it is the Girls' High School Club on a small scale. The club has a mem- bership of fifty or more, and is steadily increasing. The purpose of this organization is to help the girls in their home and school problems. At Christmas time, the soldier- boys at Oteen Hospital received stockings made by these girls. The advisers of the club are Misses Marion Dudley, Deane Van Landingham, and Mary Brevard Alex- ander. LOUISE GARIBALDI ...,. KATHRYN WARD .......... MARY ALAN SKELDING MILDRED GREENLEAF ....

Erbs Qbirls' Ibigb QEDDUI Qlluh U HE Girls' High School Club, an organization sponsored by. the local Young WOmen's Christian Association, consists of high-school girls of the three 'gy qw upper classes. The Club has grown steadily every year, and today 1S an g important factor in creating high standards, in the high school. This year, under a new leader, Miss Marion Dudley, many changes were C-f 'tgf5i5 made in our Club. For the first time it was divided into five committees- 'l t each girl being a member of one Of these committees. This change has proved most satisfactory, and has given every member a chance to engage in the work which appealed strongly to her. These committees were the service, mem- bership, program, finance, and social. At the regular meetings of the Club, we have enjoyed lectures and debates, which helped to carry G. H. S. C. nearer its goal. Still another thing which helped us accomplish our purpose was the Three C's Campaign, held in connection with that of the Hi-Y Clubs, which aimed to raise the morale of all the girls in Charlotte High School. Throughout the year, the Club has been able to do much for others. Every two weeks, for quite a while, a little entertainment was given at the County Home for the benefit of the inmates. At Thanksgiving, several poor families of the city received baskets of goodies from the Club. Then the Christmas boxes, sent to Oteen Hospital, in Asheville, replaced the annual visit of Santa Claus for some sick soldiers and nurses, who otherwise might not have been remembered. Over sixty members of the Girls' High School Club have pledged themselves to give one dollar each, earned or saved through self-sacrifice, toward supporting a girls' work secretary in Japan next year. The Arrival of Kitty,'l' a play given by the Club, was a tremendous suc- cess, and helped greatly in securing funds for sending delegates to Sweet Briar Con- ference. An event of our calendar which interests many outside Of the club is the annual College Day. It comes too late this year for publication in the annualg but everyone is eagerly anticipating its arrival, and we feel sure that it will be a bigger success than ever. The Club also has its social side. Who will ever forget the wonderful conference at Camp Latta last fall, or the HallOwe'en banquet, Or our Thanksgiving party? As Easter and the closing days of school draw near, we look forward to more parties and good times. In all phases of our Club's activities, we are constantly striving to accomplish our purpose, which is to create, maintain, extend, and practice throughout the Char- lotte High School high ideals Of Christian character, to bring the student to a personal knowledge of Jesus Christ, to lead her to be loyal to the Church Of Christ, and to give her opportunities for Christian service.
