THE GIRL RESERVES The Girl Reserves are junior members of the Y. W. C. A. This organization was established for the purpose of affording some wholesome recreation for young girls. There are about seventy-five members in the Senior Girl Reserve Club; about twenty-five are Seniors. The Senior officers of the club are Daisy Stiles, president; Helen Sims, secretary ; Hildred Tollett, program chairman; Oakereader King, social chairman, and Emma Wiggins, cooperative social chairman. The purpose of the club is “To Find and Give the Best.” We have attempted to carry out this purpose in our many relationship conferences with other Girl Reserves of the state. The symbol of the club, the triangle within a circle, repre- sents a Girl Reserve and her relationships with the world. The Girl Reserves also seek to perform services for others. Every Girl Reserve is pledged to be always ready for service. Some of the activities in which the Girl Reserves have participated and spon- sored are: An Interracial Tea, a Conference in St. Joseph, contributions to the Big Sisters Home, a Little Sister Party, a Petticoat Prom, and entertainment for the Hi-Y boys, the Mother and Daughter banquet, and a puppet show.
