NATALIE HARRIS President PEGGY ZOLL Secretary PATRICIA NICK ELI. T reasurer MELBA DK MINGO Song-leader MARJORIE SILVA Vice-President 7t lends hip and Service With the motto “Friendship and Service” guiding all its activities, the Girls' Association, under the faculty sponsorship of its friend Miss Kinell, and the student leadership of Natalie Harris, enjoyed a successful semester. Friendship—h a sincere effort to make the new freshmen feel at home with their new friends and new surroundings, the Freshman Reception started off the activities with glamorous Hollywood as the theme. The audience was entertained by impersonations of movieland personalities, a preview, skits, and songs concerning the cinema. After refreshments at the Brown Derby the guests finished the afternoon with dancing. Also for the sake of pure enjoyment the “Dixie Dinner” was planned. The atmosphere and hospitality of the Old South plus fried chicken equaled a memorable evening. After dinner the girls were offered an all-Southern program, with music, songs, a dance, and humorous sketches. The P.-T. A. in conjunction with the G. A. presented a Fashion Bridge Tea for the enjoyment of the mothers and teachers on the afternoon of May 9. part of the proceeds of which were devoted to the G. A. scholarship fund. The Senior Farewell, the last social event on the calendar, gave the girls an opportunity to do something for their big sisters”—something to show them how they had enjoyed working with them and playing with them. The mood of the party was both reminiscent and prophetic, as the seniors’ past, present, and future achievements were dramatized. The G. A. also gave a free afternoon dance, the Sweetheart Swing,” for the entire student body. Service—The more serious aspects of the G. A.’s contributions to school and community were given attention and enthusiasm as well as were soc ial activities. All the girls worked together in contributing 200 garments to the Needlework Guild, of which the Association is a chapter. Each garment for the needy children was made by some girl from material purchased with the money generously contributed by girls' and boys’ home-rooms alike. The garments made an attractive display before they were turned over to the Guild. To aid the school in furthering the education of its worthy students, the semi-annual G. A. play was given. Mrs. Schwimley directed the cast of the pleasing comedy. A Wedding. The leads were filled by Lois Hiester and Lloyd Callaway, with an excellent supporting cast. Natalie H arris
