PHESHMAN SLEE IILUB THE SENIIIB SIHLS' IILUH The Senior Girls' Club is one of the largest and most active organizations at Du Sable. It was organized in 1937 as a successor to the Girls' Reserves, which disbanded with a membership of about fifty. Miss Clara Anderson and Miss Reilly were the first sponsors. The present membership is about one hundred. Sponsors are Mrs. Lydia De Priest and Mrs. Helen Harris. Membership is open to all junior and senior girls. The program of the club is four-point in its scope: social, social service, health, and cultural. Mr. Willard says of the club, Whenever I have a hard job to be done, I give it to the Senior Girls' Club. Some highlights in the past activities are: the Christmas toy project, several interesting lectures by the outstanding speakers, the Easter fashion show, and unique parties. A 1939 innovation was the freshman frolic. At this almost five hundred freshman girls were entertained by their senior big sisters. The party was most successful and will be continued as the official welcome to the freshman girls. Page Forty-six The Freshman Glee Club was organized last semester under the super- vision of Miss Norine Mulvihill. At the time of organization there were seventy-five members. The purpose of this club is to prepare the freshmen for the Senior Glee Club and the Special Voice Class. The Freshman Glee Club has performed at the University of Chicago and in our auditorium. The students of Du Sable will not soon forget the splendid rendition of Franz Liszt's operetta, Chanita, which was given last spring, and our Armistice Day assembly this year by this young group of excellent singers. THE SENIIIH SIIILS' CHRISTMAS PIIIIJEIIT The Senior Girls' Club distributed toys this year to the neighborhood hospitals. On the opposite page is a picture of them and some of the toys.
