GREEN 6 GoLD GIRLS' LEAGUE The Girls' League of the Livermore Union High School, an organization whose purpose is to develop cooperation and good fellowship among the girls to encourage courtesy, loyalty, and democratic behavior, has been organized for six years. The League has had monthly meetings every first Monday of the month through- out the ist year This day also is set aside as Middy Day A contest was started to iwlx L . I C c 1 L L . C see which class could have the largest percentage of its girls wearing Middies. The juniors and Seniors had the same percent. At the first meeting of the year officers were elected, and due to having two Gym classes two Vice-Presidents were elected to preside over the meetings in the classes. julia Moy was elected for the Sixth Period Class and Leona Lassen for the Fifth Period Class. Elvira Holm was elected President of the League and Reba Teeter Secretary of Fifth Period Class and Myrtle Groth Secretary for the Sixth Period Class. This year as usual the girls from the Livermore League sent delegates to the Confederation meeting. Those who attended were Julia Moy and Leona Lassen, with Mrs. Gilbert, the faculty advisor. The Convention was held in Redwood City. The delegates gave speeches when they returned and told of the ideas they had learned in regard to bet- tering their own League. One of the most interesting events that took place during the past year was the Initiation Party, when the upper classmen initiated the Freshmen girls and the new teachers. All the girls present were dressed in kid clothes. The afternoon was spent in playing games, initiating the new members into the League and serving refresh- ments. A very enjoyable time was had by all of those present. The next point of interest for the girls was Athletics. This year each class formed a basketball team which challenged other teams of the school. The juniors were victorious after defeating the Freshmen and Sophomores and the Senior girls being too busy with the Senior Play could not meet the Juniors and so were forced to forfeit their games. It is to be regretted that the Seniors and juniors could not meet to decide the championship definitely. The Seniors were champs last year and would have put up a stiff battle with this years' championship team. The members of the junior girls team will receive Block L's which were given to the Girls' Athletic Club by the Student Body. There was also a team formed of juniors and Seniors to play the Business Girls Team. The High School girls were victorious in two contests against this team. As a whole, the girls of the Livermore High School show more than average ability in playing basketball. The girls have had very good cooperation in making up programs for their monthly meetings. Mrs. Gilbert deserves much credit for her help during the past year. She has given many interesting talks which have been very beneficial to the girls. Every year the Girls' League is getting more interesting and the cabinet hopes that next year will prove even a greater success for girls' activities than the past year has shown. f26l
