H. S., a small organ- ization was founded, known as the Girls' Association, and having for its motto, Friendship and Service. The purpose of encouraging friendship and service among the girls has remained throughout the years. The Freshman Reception held at the beginning of each term helps the Low 10 girls, as well as the other newcomers, to become acquainted with the other girls in the school. The Senior Farewell also promotes a feeling of friend- liness and is held in honor of the out-going Senior girls. The Moth- ers' teas, too, serve as opportuni- ties for the girls and their mothers to meet each other in a sociable way. The Girls' Association desires to be of service and each term presents numerous gifts, both practical and artistic, to aid in beautifying the school. Money is raised by candy sales by the Serv- ice groups, and by a play which is presented each term. The Social Service groups do interesting and worth-while work, and are social centers as well. This term there was a splendid spirit of cooperation. Due to the fine support given by the girls, a great deal of progress was made in all activities. JACQUELINE WATKINS.

f . . Eisner Seeieiy o recognize scholarship when it is combined with character, to recognize leadership and service to the school, and, through an organization, to help in shaping higher standards and policies among the students of the Berkeley High School : this is the aim of the Honor Society. With these purposes in mind, our Honor Society will th.is term have concluded three semesters of commendable service and uplifting work. The Society has enjoyed during the past few months a splendid in- crease in enrollment, which has raised the membership from eighty-seven to one hundred and eight. With this proof that additional interest is being shown in the raising of our scholarship standards, it is hoped that that number will be still larger next semester. Toward the end of each term it has been a custom of the Honor Society to give a banquet for the purpose of bidding farewell to its high senior members. This term the banquet took place on the evening of December 2. With all members present, speeches were given by the students and teachers, and an excellent program was prepared for the evening's entertainment. The officers for the fall term of 1927 were as follows: President, George Fleming, Vice-President, Edith Apgar, Secretary, Theodosia Stephens, Executive Board, Jean Carson and George Newhall.
