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.

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.
