THE U0ill.lIEIf CIAL IFIJUUIFD ll M , ll , gg., 1. Ma .0-B GIRLS The freshman class is always the largest unit in a school. Of the -155 freshman who entered in September nearly 300 are girls. This year for the first time this group has held regular meetings on Tuesday at the Special Period. The objects of this freshman organization are: 1. To promote general culture. 2. To become better acquainted. 3. To foster a better school spirit. -1. To develop leadership. 5. To promote class activities that will call into use information and skill obtained through school sub- jects. Short sketches emphasizing the care of the skin, hair and teeth were written and given by girls from different classes. On December 7 the program was a review of an article, Good Manners for all Occasions written by a well known high school principal. The program for December 19, the last meeting before the December vaca- tion, was a review of the skteches given at previous meetings. The girls had as their guests at that meeting the mem- be1's of the 9-B Faculty and the 9-B Boys. The girls' holiday plans were gifts made by them, and contributions of fruit. These were sent to various Day Nurseries and Public Homes. TIIE Bl.'S1N1iNS IJIHLS I'l,I'li The Business Girls' Club which is composed of all the colored girls in the school has had some very interesting meetings under the direction of its new leader Miss Moore. The purpose ot' the club is to unite its members in the spirit of t'riendliness, and service, to win other girls to its membership, and to stand for the best things at home, in the school, at work, and in the church, and community. The oliicers elected at the beginning of September are as follows: President, Sallarthiele Pollard, 10-A-1. Vice President, Laura Reid,,10-A-3. Secretary, Gladys Lane, 10-B-3. Treasurer, U. V. Ross, 9-A-6. HOUSEHOLD ECONOJIY Two years ago Miss Irene McDermott, Director of Household Economy, gave Business High Girls a new interest in Domcstic Science in that she sent Miss Kronfrt, who was to teach the girls to make the things they needed. Exhibits have been held twice each semester showing samples of the ac- complishments of our girls, and a great deal of talent was discovered. Several girls found that they had more talent for sewing and designing clothes than for shorthand and so were given a special schedule giving them more time tor the development of that talent and are now employed in dress- making establishments, making good. Many of our girls wanted to learn to embroider and knit. They were given the opportunity and now they know how to keep their fingers busy, in leisure time, to beautify their clothes and hoinc-s. Among the services rendered by the Household Economy Department were the making ot' one hundred and ten cos- tumes t'or our Operetta Cinderella , given at Schenley High last June. An American flag was made, also a I rench flag. Typewriter covers are mended, athletic garments worn by our boys are kept in repair. -.-lima Jacob.

T II E U OJIJIEIICIJI L I1'El'U1f IJ 13 TIIE FRIENDSHIP FLUI1' The Friendship Club ot' Business lligh is one of the live-wire organizations of the school. Its purpose is to create a spirit of friendliness among the girls, to help the girls in their efforts tor self'- improvement, and to do good for others. In ,order that the programmes for the semester may meet these varied aims, discussional, social service, business, and social meetings are held. At the discus- sional meetings subjects of interest to the business girl are usually given prominence. The social service meetings give opportunity for making and distri- bution ot gifts to an Orphans' Home near the school. The girls ot' the club have adopted this home and tlllT'.Ii.Q' the term have given donations of fruit and toys to the children. In fact, the whole school has helped in this worthy work. The social side of life is not neglected by the Friendship Club. It' you think so, ask the girls who attended the party for new members, the NVhite Elephant party at Christmas time, or the crown- ing social event of the semester, the banquet! THE LEA DERS' FLUB The Leaders' Club ot' Business High School is an organization ot' girls who are Leaders in athletic activities. The purpose ot' this club is to promote the school spirit of Business High. The otticers ol' this club are: President, Gertrude Lear. Vice-President, Edna Bright. Secretary, Marie McConnell. Treasurer, Marie Miller. Social Chairman, Marion House. These officers are elected by the mem- bers ot' the club to hold their oilice for the semester, but if they are not up in their school work they shall be tempor- arily suspended from their ollice. The club has adopted a constitution. This club meets every XVednesday at the Special Period. X RAY The X Bay Club started its activities this semester with a party at lIalloween Time. This party due to the elliorts ot' the ladies ot' the faculty was an ex- cellent success, and all members attend- ing said that it was well worth while. The remaining pa1't ot' the X Ray's work this term has been done rather quietly but surely, as this magazine shows. All the material herein published has been collected and prepared by the in- dividual class room reporters and their teachers. XVhile the X Bay Club does not advertise itselt' much, we feel that it is one ot' the most important organiza- tions in the school, and we look forward to another jolly good time next term and also tor a lot ot' excellent record mater- ial l'or our June issue.
