The charter members were selected from the girls' gym classes, including grades 8--12, by Miss Cole and Mr. Taft. The purpose of the club has been to stimu- late more interest in interclass teams and individual sports by teaching the fundamentals of ofiiciating and leadership. These girls have met regu- larly during homeroom period on Monday morning. During interclass activities the members acted as oflicials. In addition to receiving member- ship pins, a point system for awarding varsity letters to girls for interclass competition has been worked out and will be awarded in June. The ofii- cers include: President, Joan Lampert: Vice-President. Clara Leaven- worth: Secretary, Gertrude Schleuter. 47
