To build a fellowship of women and girls devoted to the task of realizing in our common life, those ideals of personal living to which we are committed by our faith as Christians, is the purpose of the Girl Reserves. When it was first organized in 1920, all of the women teachers acted in the capacity of advisors but with the increase of girls and also teachers, two instructors were chosen to direct the club, those being Miss Hunter and Miss Findley. Now to bring it up to date, Miss Mar- garet Gillespie and Miss Avis Youngberg have kept us from going astray this year. Following in the footsteps of her family, Kathryn Goddard was elected president, Annabel Nelson, vice president, Marilyn Hixson, program chairman, linogene Gardner, secretary, and Mary Lou Crosier, treasurer. Because of too heavy duties, Mary Lou was forced to resign and was replaced by Elizabeth Lovdahl. Principally a service organization, the Girl Reserves sponsored and co-sponsored with the Hi-Y: the Big and LittleASistcr picnic, Girl Reserve-Hi-Y dance, Girl Re- serve-Hi-Y play, Galesburg Youth Conference, Mothers, Tea, and the Cliristmas and Easter devotional periods.
