Ar this time awards, which are earned through a point system are presented. The girls receive these points for paying dues, attending meetings, tak- ing part in meetings, being on the upper quarter and honor roll, and selling at games. Miss Elizabeth Pettigrew is sponsor of the Girl Reserves, Lenore Jones is the president, Mar- guerite Young is the vice president, Marjorie Wylie is the secretary, and Mary Lou Norman is the treasurer. +260
