With the help of Mrs. Woody, spon- sor, they pledged twelve girls. The officers elected for next year are: julianna Monroe, President, Phyllis Gage, Scribe, Helen Seymour, Treasurer. The social events of the year have consisted of dances at the California Country Club and the Beverly Wilshire, bridge parties at the homes of the girls, a Mother's Day tea, and other social affairs. This year Marie Brown was selected by the chapter to receive the Beta Gamma friendship pin, an honor bestowed on the active member who throughout the year contributed the most to her chapter. julianna Monroe will represent the chapter at the 1935 convention in St. Louis in july. She will return with greater plans and ideas to put Beta Gamma into even a higher position in both school and community. 88

Cl RLS' CLEE CLUB With the influx of new students last fall came a number of new ideas. One was that a school, a real Alma Mater, should have some school songs and a chorus or glee club. After several inquiries about the possibility of forming a glee club or quartet had reached headquarters, Miss Winans was asked to undertake the leadership of a girls' glee club. No one seemed to have the time or courage to direct the boys. We trust they will fare bet- ter another year. Carols were sung by the Girls' Clee Club at the school assembly held the last day before Christmas vacation. The girls learned more difficult pieces as their practices continued, and it was expected that they would again entertain the school. However, the difficulty of finding a time for rehearsal, as well as other circumstances, made impossible further public appearances this year. Nevertheless, since music and school songs are important factors in creating a school spirit, and since the desire for group singing seems to be keenly felt by the students, it is hoped that next year not only a girls' glee club will actively function, but also a boys' chorus. 87
