CFFICERS Preridenl Audrey Stewart V ire-President Pauline Lishon Secretagf Rose Sun Treasurer Shirley Rubel CHRISTIAN SERVICE LEAGUE The Christian Service League at Dana Hall is an organization to which every girl belongs. As its name implies, it is a philanthropic association, bent on doing what good it can, where and when it can. The Executive Board consists of a president, vice-president, treasurer, and secretary, all elected by the entire student body. These in turn appoint the various class and day student representatives. The officials of communities, such as Boys' Town, and of organizations, such as The Home for Little Wanderers, are constantly writing to either Mrs. Johnston or Mrs. Preble to thank the Dana Hall girls for their kind and much needed help, a destitute family expresses gratitude for a turkey dinner at Thanksgiving time, the men and women running the Greater Boston War Fund and the Red Cross drives, voice their appreciation for substantial contributions, crippled and helpless children from the Peabody Home and the Massachusetts Convalescent Home, write their thanks for such simple things as Christmas caroling,-all these people recognize the philanthropic work we do. In the autumn the League sponsors an informal dance in the Oak Room. At Christmastime it provides a candlelight service, one of the most beautiful and cher- ished memories of a Dana Hall girl. In the spring a May Queen and her Court are crowned, with the League sponsoring the festivities. All these activities are under the able guidance of Mrs. Preble. l58J

Two of our meetings were held with the Span- ish Club ol' Pine Manor. At one we en- joyed an amusing Spanish play, at the other we had a lecture by Raquel Eidel- man, a native ol' Peru. We gave a debate on the value ofthe Monroe Doctrine to the Western Hemisphere, attended by the World Allairs Club and the history classes, an indication ol' the expanding service ol' the club to the school.
