1 g,4.,4 The G. A. A. has been quite an active organ- ization this year. One of the first things it did was to have a bake sale, which was a great success and a lot of fun for all the girls helping Mary Henderson. Another of the activities the G. A. A. spon- sored which was enjoyed by nearly all girls of Baldwin, was the orphans' Christmas party. Twenty boys and girls from three to ten came from the Oakland County Iuvenile Home for an afternoon of fun. The children played games, sang songs, and heard stories. Old Santa fRuth McCulloughl was there to give them presents. There was plenty of food for all. One little fellow drank seven bottles of milk besides eating quite a bit of everything else. Remem- ber? Mary Henderson was in charge of food, Polly Hanson, program, Ruth Harrell, decora- tions, and Marilyn Harris, general chairman. Each girl signed up to take one child as her little brother or sister, and some children had two or even three older sisters. Baldwin's girls have had many fun-packed days of play. Noon hours and Thursday after- noons were used for basketball and volleyball, Tuesday nights for bowling, and Monday and Wednesday after school for swimming. Later in the spring, days were set aside for base- ball, tennis, and other sports. A basketball play day was held in Royal Oak for girls from Berkley, Clawson, Birmingham, and Royal Oak. Ten girls from Baldwin were selected from among those who had been out for sports. They played basketball, went swimming, and had dinner in the cafeteria. Birmingham gave a volleyball play day for these same schools in March. Girls played volleyball and had dinner with entertainment following. Executive officers this year are Nancy Han- son, president, Diana Roosevelt, vice president, Lou White, treasurer, Roxa Phelps, secretary, and Ann Hansen, intramural manager. -NANCY HANSON.

Middle-Here's something good for your hips, girls. Iust try a few hours in the pool each week, and you'll feel as good as Ann Sauer, Carol Grant, and Sue Reeder. Bottom-The tricky plays being worked out above are being put into practice here by Ellen Van Waggoner, Marguerite Kurth, Ieanne Lang, and Alice Stauffer.

ir 5 , eague Ever since the organization of the Girls' League at Baldwin three years ago, there has been a decided change in the school spirit of the girls. This is one of the few organizations exclusively for girls. At the beginning of each semester the League has a party for girls new to Baldwin. A big sister is selected for each new girl from the older girls in school. In the fall the party usually is a picnic and at mid-term a tea. Since Baldwin has no orientation pro- gram, these parties help girls to become ac- quainted with each other and their school. This organization is made up of 21 represen- tatives, one from each homeroom in the school. The officers are elected semi-annually. In the past year the group has had a most cooperative and able staff of officers. For the fall term there were Nancy Price, president: Gloria Max- well, social chairmang Nancy Hanson, financial chairman, Barbara Brenkert, service: Ruth Harrell, program: Charlotte Mill, recording secretary, and Ian Coil, corresponding sec- retary. In the spring term meetings were presided over by Barbara Brenkertg Ann Hansen was social chairmang Gloria Maxwell, financial chairman: Dorothy Davis, serviceg Sally Kreid- ler, programg Mary Quinn, recording secretaryp and Edith Kendall, corresponding secretary. The Girls' League provides ample oppor- tunity for service both in school,and for charity. In the Ianuary semester the League sponsored a book drive, and made knitted slippers for hospitalized service men for the Red Cross. The League is in charge of the matinee for the annual school play and also the matinee of the variety show. The girls receive ten percent of the profits each year. The decorated Christmas tree in Baldwin's front hall, which adds to the Christmas spirit, is another project of the girls. Under the most helpful guidance of Mrs. Carol Darling, the Girls' League has done a great deal to help girls of Baldwin take a more active part in school affairs. -GWEN CHAPMAN. Top-The Girls' League was capably managed by Barbara Brenkert and Nancy Price, presidents. Ad- vised by Mrs. Darling, they succeeded in every activity they entered. Middle-Gay, aren't they, but who wouldn't be, looking forward to a delicious picnic supper? En- tering the Community House are Sally Kreidler, Mary Betts, Sharon Murphy, and Dottie Davis. Bottom-There are times in every gir1's life when she must be dignified and ladylike. Succeeding in the job are Edith Kendall, Barbara Carrier, Grace Mack, Mary Ann Nethercot, and Ruth Kadell.
