HE nucleus about which the life of Girls High School revolves is the homeroom class. We, the senior classmen, remember this homeroom as the first spot where, as freshmen, we felt a part of Girls High's spirit, a friendly, gracious spirit which immediately calmed our nervousness at entering a new school. In our homeroom class we were welcomed by our homeroom teacher, who was to be our friend and counselor throughout our three-year stay at G. H. S. Though at first we were dismayed by the large school and strange rules, we soon became accustomed to Girls High and her ways. We began to look about us and we saw many new girls, who, like ourselves, were anxious to make a good beginning. After we became better acquainted with our classmates, we elected those who we thought would best lead us in the following semester. It was then that we recognized the necessity for organization to carry out the various activities in which all homerooms of the school par- ticipated. We needed teams to share the work of keeping our room neat and attractive, com- mittees to plan and prepare bulletin boards to keep our class informed of school-wide activities, and we needed leaders, who would guide us in Red Cross drives, attendance cam- paigns, and paper sales. Above all we needed followers who were willing to work. After a short time we recognized, not only the importance of co-operation, but the joy of working as a class toward a goal. Then we began to capture a part of Girls High,s spirit, a spirit of genuine happiness of working with others to complete a job well done. In our junior year We welcomed with friendly greetings those who had come to take our places as freshmen. We enjoyed feeling superior to some, but we were glad to give our help to those who searched the halls for seemingly imaginary rooms or tried to climb the wrong stairs. When time came for the volley ball tournament we were happier than ever to cheer for our team. Somehow we wanted to give more of our time and energy to anything our class or school undertook. Not only were we glad to give of ourselves to school campaigns, but we were happy to contribute to all organizations for helping others less fortunate than we. We cheerfully gave to the Community Chest and the anti-tuberculosis drives. We willingly filled baskets at Thanksgiving for those whose tables would not be as bountifully set as our own, and at Christ- mas we eagerly played Santa Claus to many small children. Thus we realized another portion of Girls Higlfs spirit, a spirit of unselfishly giving of ourselves wherever we were needed. As juniors our homeroom seemed more like a real home. There we felt free to express our ideas and opinions. We could criticize or praise the way any campaign or drive was carried out. In this way each of us learned to play her part in our democratic student government. As we reached the top of our high school ladder, the senior year, we made it our duty to help our schoolmates to realize the privilege of attending a school with such high standards of character and scholarship as those of Girls High. We realize that our lives have been en- riched by daily contacts with the teachers and students of our school, and we feel sure that a portion of the spirit of Girls High School will remain in our hearts to guide and help us always.
