The membership is set at eleven, and the vacancies created by graduation of old members are filled by election. To become a Billiken one must have a merit record of ninety or above, a scholastic record well above the average, a grade of B or above in physical education, and at least thirty service points. The applicant must also be either a junior or varsity letterman. The candidates for entrance into this organization must receive the unanimous vote of all the members to gain entrance into the organization and must maintain certain high scholastic standards in order to retain their membership. The initiation is very rigorous and covers a period of about two weeks furnishing the onlooking students much amusement. The organization was formed early last year by Coach Victor Cameron, who has sponsored it ever since. In its short history this club has made itself a most necessary part of the school. The Billikens help keep the campus clean and perform many other like services for the school. T h e Scroll, 1.9 3 5 7.9

COQUILLBTTE HOLLINGSWORTH HALI Cl ARK» POMEROY SUND BARTLEY PRIMM CHAMBERS ROPP SULZNER FRTL CIAVARELLA EKMAN GIRLS H CLUB Any girl who has received an English H is eligible for membership in the Girls’ H Club, the honorary athletic organization of the Girls’ Ath- letic Association, which closely resembles the Billiken Society and the Boys’ Lettermen’s Clubs. The English H is received when a girl has earned eight hundred points or the equivalent of positions on eight first teams. This year fourteen girls showed their interest and ability in sports by qualifying for membership in this group. The first meeting of the year was held last fall at the home of Miss Marie Habermann, adviser. A pot luck dinner was enjoyed at the time by the members of the H Club and the executive board of the G. A. A. The second meeting of the organization was held early in February at Rosemary Ropp’s house, where an initiation, party, and business meeting were combined. Betty Clarke, Mary Eileen Hall and Margaret Ertl were elected to the offices of president, vice president and secretary-treasurer respectively. At that time the new members, Billie Primm, Marian Coquil- ette, Esta Pomeroy and Doris Sulzner were ceremoniously and effectively initiated into the club. The girls in the H Club are called upon from time to time to perform various duties, such as serving at different G. A. A. functions and acting as referee for games at any time. Swimming parties, ice skating parties and picnics were being enthusias- tically planned as the Scroll went to press. 18 T h r S’ r r n 11, I V .? .

Miss Frances .F vckson COMPOSED as it is of ten girls with the highest number of service points from each of the junior and senior classes, the Girls’ Club plays an important part in school activities. Each semester the members of this group elect from three to five honorary members which they think have given commendable service to the school. Lurabelle Walker, Patti Green, and Virginia Bartley were chosen for the first semester: while Mercy Robertson, Maxine Gulley, and Betty Clarke were honored the second. Luncheons alternate with business meetings throughout the year, the first session of each semester being featured by the initiation of neophvtes. This affords great amusement for the old members. The last meeting of each semester is a combined luncheon with the Boys’ Service Club, a similar organization for the fellows. Although no definite plans had been made at the time the Sroll” went to press for the annual picnic with the Boys’ Service Club, the date had been set for May 22. Because of the many activities in which it participates, this club is invaluable to the school. Each morning the flag is raised by four service club members, and it is lowered in the afternoon by four others. Also, order is maintained at the Girls’ League meetings by this organization. It is hoped that in the future many more girls will turn in service points and try to become eligible for membership in this club. 20 T he Scroll, I 9 .V :
