GIRLS’ INTER-CLUB COUNCIL The Girls’ Inter-club Council was organized November 16, 1936. when a representative group from all the girls' clubs in the high school met with Miss Rose Witcher, dean of girls. From this group the following officers were chosen: Juanita Perdue, president: Mary Sue Garner, vice-president; Jacque- line Nievar. secretary; Lorraine Filkins. treasurer, and Miss Rose Witcher, sponsor. This club was organized to cultivate a feeling of good will and cordiality among all girls, both club members and non-members, and also to assist in caring for problems that relate to girls' interests in high school. The members of the organization consist of three repre- sentatives from each girls’ club in the high school. The mem- bership of the club is limited to twenty-five, eighteen of whom are club representatives. Other members include girls who do not belong to any other high school organization. This club assumes the four following responsibilities: First, to foster a friendly spirit among all the girls in the school: Second, to perform certain acts of chairty; Third, to s| onsor programs for the betterment of the girls themselves, and; Fourth, to assist in caring for Thanksgiving and Christ- mas donations of the high school. BONITA MARICA CATTA The Bonita Marica Catta, launched in 1914 by a few students interested in literature under the direction of Miss Rose Witcher, has grown to be one of the largest organiza- tions in the high school. During the past year the club has functioned under the leadership of Margaret Davis, president; Juanita Perdue, vice- president; Ruth Scainands, secretary; Helen Clare Humphreys, treasurer; and Miss Ermalee Moore, sponsor. The leading social events of the year included the annual mother-daughter banquet, which was held April 12. and the line party gi en by the B. M. C.’s for the Phi's. This affair was on the evening of April 26. The activities of the group have been numerous, among them being an excellent program on “Cosmetics” in an all- girls’ assembly, March 30. The flower of Bonita Marica Catta is the sweet pea. The colors are purple and white. The emblem of the club consists of a gold monogram of the letters B. M. C. on a black back- ground. which is edged in gold. B. M. C.. the oldest girls’ club in the high school, boasts of a membership of forty girls. LITERATI The Literati, the youngest literary society in the high school, was organized April 2, 1934. Miss Mable Jones was chosen as sponsor and is still serving in that capacity. Velma McNew, who was ill at the time the club picture was taken, was president of the L. L. T. club this year. Vice-president was Leona Gustafson, Jacqueline Nievar was secretary, and Marian Tucker was treasurer. The purpose of the club is to develop leadership, discover and train the talents of its mem- bers, and encourage a high scholastic standing. The club has as its colors red and white, and the emblem is a silver book with the letters L. L. T. in blue. The programs of the year have been centered around classics that have been filmed. The club presented an all- girls’ assembly program on Personality”. This program consisted of a three-act play written by Elinore Siegrist, a member of L. L. T. Social events of the year have included two initiations, one ol which was held at the home of Elinore Siegrist. north of El Reno. A line party, with Miss Jones as hostess, was en- joyed. along with a Christmas party. The club sponsored a carnival booth and several candy sales throughout the year. To finish the club's social events for the year, a mother- daughter banquet was given. May 3, in the Business and Pro- fessional Women’s club rooms, with Miss Rose Witcher and Mary Roberts as special guests. THE PHILALATHEAN LITERARY SOCIETY The Philalathcan literary society was organized in 1922 and since that time has been an active and prominent club in the school. It was organized for the purpose of promoting leadership among the high school girls. During the past school term the Phi's continued their successful work under the leadership of Helen Jackson, pres- ident: Mary Sue Garner, vice-president; Fairry Hamilton, secretary; and Bett Ellen Blake, treasurer, and Virginia De- vitt. parliamentarian. Miss Josephine Edwards served for her first year as the Phi sponsor. The outstanding social event of the club was the banquet which it gave for the B. M. C. literary society. January 22.
