GIRLS WORKING TO BRING HARMONY GIRLS' LEAGUE-School Spirit with capital S's and Harmony with a capital H certainly doesn't do iustice to the operation of the Girls' League. Each semester begins with the Big and Little Sister party. By playing games and in general having an enioyable time, the BlO's are given a marvelous opportunity to meet one another and the older girls. Many found revenge sweet as girls snubbed boys on Girl-Snub-Boy Day though the girls were relieved when it ended. The Sadie Hawkins' Dance, a semi-annual affair, offers merriment and a chance to wear one's best rags. Prizes are awarded for the most clever Dogpatch out- fit with corsages of vegetables or buttons and bows. A gooey pie eating contest is an added attraction. Participating in the Simplicity fashion show is a thrill few girls experience. Simplicity Pattern Company sends a representative to talk and to give a demon- stration of recent trends in design, color, and style. The clothes are modeled by Washington High girls. June is the month for Cotton Day. The girl, wearing the Ioveliest cotton dress, is chosen and crowned Cot- ton Day Queen. Each semester ends with the installa- tion of the new officers and class room representa- tives. Short speeches are delivered by retiring and incoming officers, Miss Jessie Gill, Girls' League sponsor, and Mrs. Clarita Neher, Girls' Vice Principal at Washington. With the presentation of an engraved gavel to the retiring president, the semester is ended.

GIRLS' LEAGUE SCHOOL COMMITTEE-Inspired to create a colorful background to highlight the setting for the Sadie, the School Committee received its big- gest challenge and responsibility. Other touches of the girls' decorating ability are admired and enioyed at the Ladies' Alumnae Banquet and Career Day Sessions. These girls are proud of the spirit and har- mony their decorations add to these functions. Twice a year a new group is taken in. With members bring- ing the food, Mrs. Genevieve Ahrens, sponsor, enter- tains wiht a buffet supper. At this time the new presi- dent is announced. Mrs. Ahrens and the outgoing president choose the girl who will hold the gavel for the next twenty weeks. This position and honor goes to the artistic one who has worked hard as all good Marthas do.
