A. was organized at the Madison High School, under supervision of Mrs. Delcour. The girls were enthusiastic, but unfortunately Mrs. Delcour had to leave and Miss Gilipin. from Community High School took her place for the remainder of the term. Now, we are very glad to have Miss Waters with us. who is suggesting and carrying out many interesting projects with the girls. There are approximately fifty-six members in the G. A. A. at present. The girls selected as their officers the following: Fern Peebles, President: Mar- cella Duncan, Vice-President: Mildred Hayes, Secretary: Henel Doniff, T reasurer. The girls had a bakery sale, and a successful candy sale. Baskets were given to the needy at Thanksgiving, and also Christmas stockings to little grade school children from different parts of the Tri-Cities.

What Is The Dearest Thing In Life.7 What is the dearest thing in life. What counts the most with you. Your money and your title, Or the things you like to do? Don't let your pleasures ruin you: Don't think they're all you need. Because the things most precious Are often things we never heed. We forget the many blessings Bestowed on us each day, Forget our little duties Spread all along the way. We're all too selfish with our smiles. Too generous with our frowns, Too slow to give encouragement When our friends are down. So find the better things of life Before you’ve grown too old, Remember our real treasurers Are things that can't be sold. Senior Girl.
