AITIGZOIIS I Spartan spirit is exemplified by the Amazons of the Girls' League. In the days of old Sparta, it was up to the men to keep order. The Amazons have adopted the spirit of those warriors, keeping order in Girls' League assemblies. Their duties also in- clude supervision of girls on the grounds. I The organization was disbanded after the earthquake, and reorganization, started at the first of the semester under Betty Jo King, was completed during the second semester under the leadership of Bunty Burns, President of the Girls' League, One-hundred and thirty girls chosen, were interviewed by Adelle Rasey, Gail Hanson, Nancy VVineman, Margaret Costello, Betty jo King, Eloise Steinboch, and Bunty Burns. I Dorothy Renfro, President of G. A. A., automatically became chairman of the Amazons. Miss Mary Alice Austin is faculty sponsor. O Thirty girls were chosen from each class, to supervise their own classmates. Each Amazon has an assigned position in the auditorium for the Girls' League As- semblies, and it is her duty to keep order and secure courtesy among the girls in her section. If someone makes any unnecessary disturbance she quietly goes to the girl and asks her to step out of the auditorium. The offender is given a citation and must appear before the Girls' Council.
