It is incorporated by the state and we, as New Trier girls, automatically become members of it. Its purpose is to promote friendship among the girls with its mutual activities and give financial aid to those who need it. Many charitable undertakings are also accomplished. We raised money this year for our expenses in various ways. On the opening day Page 16

l .--J -E.. l- - f, Struggles Thackery Gillogly Church Kimbell Although most of the Club's energy was directed at the charity porblems, the social activities sponsored by the Club were numerous and well attended. Two boys' dinners were planned and put over, speakers and entertainers being featured. Beside the dinners two dances were successfully held. New students fupper classmenj were helped to become acquainted with the school by the Inter-Scholastic Relations Committee. The first semester, all such students were taken to pre-season football game, having been furnished with complimentary tickets. The second semester, they were guests at one of the boys' dinners. During the year a demand came from the boys for some sort of student control of problems relating to misuse of school property. A Student Boys' Committee was selected by the representatives, and was composed of: Seniors-Paul Netterstrom, A1 Lind, Colin Finlayson, Renolds Ostrom, Ray Kimbell, and Ted Wachsg Juniors- Stanton Schuman, Bill Nordburg, Bob White, and John Ballengerg Sophomores-Charles Dostal and Phil Ogang Freshman-Dave Miller. This group functioned entirely with the cooperation of the student body. Any case of misconduct was to be reported in writing by the witnesses, and the matter then handled by this committee of thirteen, as it was called. As was expected, as soon as the existing conditions were put before the student body as a whole, the rowdyism stopped, and few cases came before the committee. USHER CORPS First Row-D. Green, F.

During the football season we sold hot-dogs, candy, taffy-apples and arm bands from our little stand on the field. On December 5, the club gave a very successful beneit bridge tea. Magazine sub- scriptions were taken throughout the year, Christmas cards were sold at Christmas, and candy was sold at the plays. As this is written, plans are underway for a Spring Concert on May 14, to be given by the Music Department and managed by the Girls' Club. The Glee Clubs, choruses, and orchestra will all participate. A bake sale will be held in Wilmette on April 23. So much for how we earn our money. It is spent in varied and useful Ways. One of our most important expenditures this year was the purchase of 51,000 worth -'if Tax Anticipation Warrants. On the social side of our activities, the Friendly and Social Committees welcomed the Freshmen girls to New Trier at an afternoon dance and entertainment in the Mess Hall early in the year. These committees also gave several teas throughout the year to bring the girls to-gether. We also had the pleasure of having representatives from clubs of neighboring schools at tea at different times. The Charity Committee conducted the Red Cross and Christmas Seal drives and sent representatives to the monthly meetings of the Chicago junior Red Cross Council. Another charitable enterprise undertaken in cooperation with the Tri-Ship Club and Post-Graduates Students, was the collection and distribution of sandwiches which were sent once a week to the Northwestern University Settlement in the river district of Chicago. Representatives from the Tri-Ship and Girls' clubs visited the settlement and saw the sandwiches distributed. The Employment Committee worked overtime this year finding work for the girls. A new Committee of Arrangements was created to take care of the pride of our hearts, our club room. On the whole we feel the year has been successful despite the depression. W'e will always remember the Girls' Club and the happy times it has given us. Page 17
