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

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

It is difficult to be truly appreciative of the work performed by a Big Sister. Our freshman days seem so far behind that the memory of the feeling of eternal gratitude to our Big Sisters and what they meant to us, becomes vague, last among the many first impressions of Hunter! Early in the term, a Welcome party was given to the freshmen. It was a masquerade affair and took place in the high school gym. Perhaps it is because of an inordinate crav- ing for nourishment at this particular moment, but we must confess that we found the bow-woWs and lollipops especially attractive. 54
