T r e a s urer Cooperating with the school officials in the performance of many helpful serv- ices, the Girls' Advisory Council has a definite part in the success of our drama. The Girls' Council was organized in l92l with Miss Kimmel as sponsor. To- day the membership has increased almost three times. Every girl aspires to become a member of the Council. The faculty recommends a limited number of upper class girls for membership, and it is an honor to wear the emblem of the organization. The Council has many purposes: perhaps the most important is to develop a feeling of fellowship towards the school. The Council aims to train the girls for leadership, to encourage service to the school, and to cooperate with all other school activities. Office and Library Scout work, and Sunshine First Aid Boom are among the most important opportunities for service, At Christmas, the Council aids the Sunshine Society in its charity work for the less fortunate. During the year the club holds two meetings a month. A breakfast is given annually on Mothers' Day for the mothers. At every meeting the following creed is given by one of the girls' I will put my best efforts in each days task. l will not forget that poverty and riches are of the spirit. Although the world knows me not, l shall endeavor to make my thoughts and actions such as shall keep me friendly with myself and neighbors l shall walk calmly in the path allotted to me Then will my friends love me for what l am and l shall make the world a better place by my exam- ples.
