Each year the Girls' Club prepares a Thanksgiving basket to be distributed to a needy family. Deborah McClease, Margaret Lindsey, Deborah McCoy, and Kathy Williams put an extra touch to decorating this club basket for the Iota Delta Sigma is offering a prize to the most attractive basket. The Girls Club was founded in order to foster moral, intellectual, cultural, and spiritual training of its membersg to inspire- and instill ideals of modern womanhoodg and also to inspire the love for home and all mankind. Realizing that the aged should not be forgotten, the girls visited the Home for the Aged as one of their many activities . With religion playing an important part in the success of the club, the girls wor- shipped with the Grace Episcopal Church congregation during Girls' Week. During the holidays, they sent Christ- mas packages to Peakes Girls' School in Peakes, Virginia. The club held an an- nual Christmas Ball, toured the state cpaitol in Richmond, Virginia, and, as a final activity during their busy year, sponsored the school's Valentine mail- box. The Club's motto, Lifting as we climb, served as a guide for planning the year's program. Members were al- ways aware of the needs of others, and they made their awareness felt through the many humanitarian projects which they sponsored. '
