+ P' The Chula, QBZIBIIR Q-K5-M79 Hlvl Girls' League is the infant among organ- izations in M. H. S. The club was begun after Thanksgiving and the new officers took charge of the first meeting which was held in December. There are about fifty active members, but all Senior High and Ninth Grade girls are eligible for mem- bership. The word League means a cov- enant between persons or parties for the accomplishment of some purpose. Une of the purposes of this league is to bring the girls of the different classes together and also to establish more friendly relations between the girls and the members of the faculty. By meeting in a social Way We create opportunities for understanding and for Worthwhile friendships. Each girl has some kind of talent, and another pur- pose of this league is to help the girls find their talents and to develop them, thus making leaders in different lines of activities. The endeavor of the league is to give each girl a means of expression and a chance to show where she re- ally excels. With this purpose in mind our programs have been varied. We have usually had a speaker to talk on subjects of interest to all. Then there is the question box which should become more and more the center of inter- est as individual members grow in assurance and power of expression. The boys have had many societies or clubs, but with the girls it has been different ,for we have had no organi- zation to include all the girls and give each an equal chance to grow and develop. It is true that a few girls have played basketball, and another small group belonged to Glee Club, but unless a girl could tril1, or make a basket, she has felt left out. The Girls' League gives all the girls in High School a chance to become acquainted, to mingle together, and to take her own best place in the activities of the school. IP 'digs B M421 Ju ,fH.:IB11IU1'i1l11I RVTH TENV A little more than a year ago there came to Morenci Iligh School a little Freshman, timid, quiet and unknown, yet coming with the spirit of good will and the desire to lend a helping hand that she made such a place for herself in two short weeks as to be elected president of her class i11 the first election of the year. In every constructive effort of her class, and of the High School, the student body has witnessed her in a po- sition of leadership. and hor willingness to do the difficult, or disagreeable things, has made her known' to a large -group of faculty and students who today mourn her loss. We who have known what a fight she was making for life have been thinking in terms of the beautiful poem by Alan Seiger: ' She has a rendezvous with Death at a disupted barricade, As spring comes round with .rustling shade And apple blossoms fill the air. And since it had to be. it seems u beautiful thing that she could go home to her mother on Mother's Day. The memory of her faithfulness and helpfulness will remain with us and may we also remember the lesson of how fine a thing it is to live even sixteen years of life nobly.
