' GIRL RESERVES 'I 4 THE C-IRL RESERVE movement was launched in 1932 at Leilehua with thirteen members, under the leadership of Mrs. Merton Mack and Miss Katherine Murphy. A by The main purpose of the organization is to develop physical, mental and spiritual traits in each individual and to promote and to further acquaintance with other girls for world-wide friendship. With an increase in membership, the group was reorganized into three new divisions, the Lehua girls, fifty in number from the senior high, the Friendly Circle, eighteen girls from the intermediate school: and the Wahiawa Triangle, composed of girls from the seventh and eighth grades. On November l7, 1937, the Lehua Girl Reserves sponsored a program with the theme of International Goodwill. Miss Vera Berger was guest speaker. Students dressed in appropriate costumes of various countries took mem- bers of the student body on a world tour of goodwill. Characteristic dances and folk songs added much to the program. At the carnival, held March 4, the Lehua division came into the limelight by sponsoring a puppet show, with the aid of YWCA workers. The other divisions assisted by producing a variety side-show. Other activities included the annual Waialua play day, with Miss Esther Park, rural Oahu adviser, directing the day's activities. A three-day camp was another bright spot of the year. Swimming, playing, eating and sleeping occu- pied the time at the Fresh Air Camp. Other social events were a party ai Waialua and a farewell dinner given senior students by undergraduates.
