The general secretary talked on the deplorable morals of the youth in their early teens. She discoursed on the shocking tendency toward headstrong and willful young people made the secretary propose a cure for all the evils, with which young people are afflicted. Several of the other women gave their opinions on youth. They hoped to keep their girls extremely modest and safeguard their morals. The women decided that the best thing to do was tc take the girls into their club and sec that they were well supervised. One of the women suggested that the girls form a separate club which would be sponsored by the Y. W. C. A. This club was formed and named the Girl Reserves, and since that year it has kept its name. This year, the girls in Kansas celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the club. Six girls from our school represented Beloit at a Conference at Concordia. October 30-November 1. They were Mary Agnes Hicks, Elma Babbit, Mildred Armour, Dorothy McCall. Helen McGrath and Wilma Reese Miss Mildred Guard, who is the G. R. sponsor this year, led the singing for this conference. Miss Elsie Suit, State Secretary of the Kansas District Y. W. C. A., visited our Girl Reserve this year and talked with the girls about the things they were accomplishing in programs and outside activities. Miss Suit had luncheon with the cabinet members and talked with each member of the cabinet individually. One of the chief accomplishments of this year was the Girl Reserve Rest Room. This room was furnished by the girls of the club. The work ot furnishing it was supervised by Helen McGrath. Bright colored cretonne covers the windows and the furniture, by making curtain rods and a book case. Another new achievement in the club was the choir. 'I'he girls in the choir were chosen and directed by Dorothy McCall and accompanied by Merle Witham. The choir sang on several church programs during the school year. Mrs. Frank Lutz entertained the cabinet members and their sponsors at a tea at her home. A Mother and Daughter banquet was held on February 17. at the Christian church. Each member of the Girl Reserve club pledges herself to Find and Give the Best, she Faces Life Squarely, and defends the Girl Reserve code. Page Sixteen May, IQ32
