A Class in Penmanship CAMPFIRE GIRLS The Campfire Girls' Group at Bryant Jr. High School has thrived remarkably well. They have been represented at every meeting of the Campfire Girls of the city. The girls are very busy with Campfire duties as Miss Fletcher likes to have new girls with new ideas and suggestions do the tasks the older girls are tired of. The girls have chosen a beautiful name meaning friend, or a band of friends. We all hope they live up to it. The Campfire Organization has its headquarters in New York City. It is one of the organizations conducted by the Community Fund. Groups are situated in every city of the United States and in many of the European cities. Each group consists of from six to twenty girls over the age of eleven. At the head of each group is a guardian who is responsible for her girls.

Girls. Athletic Association The Ci. A. A. is an association for girls who are interested in athletics. At Bryant the sports included are swimming, hiking, and volley ball, the latter two taking place in the fall. The Junior Life Saving course starts in early October and continues until the end of the term. Baseball is played in the spring, hiking again being popular. Girls, playing three-fourths of the game, hiking thirty miles in ten hikes, or passing in the Life Saving test, have a hundred points to their credit. For the first one hundred points they receive their school letter. For five hundred points they receive a larger school letter. If they work hard and receive one thousand points, a ring or pin is awarded them. At the end of the term a party is given for the girls who have entered any of the sports. T he dues are fifteen cents a term which goes for the refreshments for the party. If a girl leaves one school and goes to another she can transfer her points and thus she does not forfeit any of them. Dorothea Nylin.
