THE ARGUS Ellie Stuhenta' Aih Zllunh When the S. A. F. was established, a little more than two years ago, its only aim was to help with small allowances, those girls who miyght otherwise be forced to leave High School because of some Hnancial misfortune, lately, additional activities have been devised by the board. An employment bureau has been established through which many girls of the school have obtained work for Saturdays and after-school hours both in the school buildings and outside. Another important and recent plan adopted is to grant four scholar- ships of one hundred dollars each to girls in the .graduating class each term who might otherwise Find it impossible to undertake a college career. Thanks to the co-operation of every student in the school, the S. A. F. has grown to be the richest onganization in Hunter. Great things have been accom- plished in the past, and still greater will be successfully engi- neered in the future. Those members of the school, whom the G. O. has chosen to conduct all business conducted with the S. A. F., are :-- Miss Searle, Miss Delaney, Mrs. Hammond, Miss McElvare, of the facultyg Mary Gilmartin, Edna Rappaport, Alma Den- anholz, Mary Steinach, of the student body.' 52

A. -------- MAE WOLF One of the most important events of the term was the reawakening of the spirit of inter-high school co-operation The old cumbrous association has been supplanted by a new organization, consisting of one representative from each high school. The delegates met at Hunter, for 'the first time at a meeting presided over by Miss Denenholz, our presi- dent. It is hoped that the new association will be more practical and more successful than its predecessor. Thus far, the signs are favorable. Hunter was the originator! Lend your moral support! L51

THE ARGUS Sigma Gamma Hi Service, Character, and Personality. These are the three magic words which determine a girl's eligibility for Sigma. Hunter's honor society. The aims which every member strives to further are to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school, the three ideals embodied in these words. Every term, those girls in the eighth, seventh, and sixth terms who Sigma members consider have rendered service val- uable to the school, who possess sterling character, and who have an unusually fine personality, are admitted to its ranks. Each candidate for admission is given very careful considera- tion in all three respects and then if she has passed this first- test, she must be approved of by the faculty. No wonder that a Sigma member is regarded with awe and admiration by her less fortunate sisters! The present under-graduate members of Sigma, are:- Mary Steinach, President, Dorothy Bachner, Secretaryg Rosa- lind Levin, Mary Moskowitz, Alma Denenholz, Mae Wolf, Selma Berenson, Grace Loesser, Mary Gilmartin, Naomi Mor- rill and Katherine Meehan. 53
