It is this maneuvering hand that carries the bewildered new female coiiegians through the tide of the first few wccics of school with its Big Sister movement. This year Vviima Heyns, chair- man of this activity, saw to it that each wondering iittie Miss had a Big Sister to help her with the early prohiems of stuctent life. Vtfhen the iist of the students was finaiiy completed, the entire League was divided into groups'-each for the purpose of raising funds to furnish the girls' room. Their lounge has been renovateci recently, ctue to the efforts of this 'sgroup cam- paign. Uncier the aisle leadership of the President, Mabel Jahaay, and the sponsorship of Nlrs. pets, stiii more improvements are expected. The Leagues main purpose is to promote friendship among all the girls of the school f-I first at the beginning of the year by means of the Big Sister movement, then hy means of the group campaigns throughout the year, and finally, hy means of an occasional scavenger hunt, trip, or sleigh-ride.
