Alpha Omega The A-Z enjoys the distinction of being the first Girls' Club of the Mount Hope High School, having been organized by a group of High School girls in 1922, under the supervision of Mr. Lorenzer. The aim of the club is to create, maintain, and extend throughout schools and community a high standard of Christian character. The meetings are held in the Ladies' Club Room of the Y. M. C. A. every other Monday night. Vliith the aid of our Sponsor, who has always taken a great interest in the A-Z, our Work has been successful, The A-Z was a little late in getting started this yeai, 1924-1925, but when it did, it seemed as if it made up for lost time. They started out with only eight of the old members left, all others having graduated last year, They were very fortunate in securing Mrs. Ralph Bailey as their Sponsor. As the girls have quite a large amount of pep, they needed a Sponsor who could 'fkeep 'em from raising the roof, 'V and Mrs. Bailey is excellent for that purpose, It was not long before the new members increased in number and the old mem- bers in Wisdom. fLet's hope so-anyhowj Wfith the co-operation of the old and new members, We hope to go on with the Alpha Omega as successfuly as it has been managed and carried on during the preceding years.
