Girls ' Club MISS WRIGHT Faculty Sponsor • The Girls ' Club of New Trier was founded nine- teen years ago under the able sponsorship of Miss Lulu Wright. Its aim was to promote friendship and unity among the girls, and to provide financial as- sistance for those girls needing it, in order to continue their education. Every girl automatically becomes a member of the club when she enters New Trier. Our predecessors set excellent examples and ideals for us to emulate. We are proud to say that the Girls ' Club of 1938-39 has accomplished many worth- while objectives, and has had an exceptionally fine year financially. This could not have been achieved without the cooperation of all the girls, and the ability of the Board to direct and manage the numerous events that took place during the year. There are four officers in the Girls ' Club and seven committee chairmen. The officers are elected by the vote of all the girls; committee heads are then chosen from the remaining list of nominees by the new officers and the Board of the previous year. The committee members are chosen each semester upon GIRLS ' CLUB REPRESENTATIVES First Row, left to right — Craig, Katz, Henderson, Rietheimer, Hillis, Smith, Murch, Weese, Waage, Steen, Bray.

reliance in each student. At the year the boys had a monopoly on fusion, but toward the end the girls could understand for what the miittee N«rs 5t iving. The Committee organized lirteen study halls under student supervision, nine boys ' and four girls. ' In addition to organization of the study halls the committee debated the advis- ability of having student supervision and tried to get the student body as a whole to accept the idea of student supervision and what it stands for. The council feels that student supervision is one of its most important projects, and sincerely believes that the feasibility of such a project has been proved this year, and will become a tradition at New Trier. Treasurer Marg Walker and her Financial Com- mittee sponsored the Activities Ticket, as usual. In this connection the Committee was of great assistance to students in working out their activities tickets. The Financial Committee was also in charge of the Council expenses, budgeting, bookkeeping, contingency fund, and other things of this nature. Too much praise cannot be given to Miss Hadden and Mr. VanDeursen, the Council sponsors. They have both worked cheerfully and untiringly to help the Council. Credit must be given to the advisor representatives for their constructive cooperation. The year, 1938-1939, has been one of the best for the Council since it was organized.

their advisors ' recommendations as to their depend- ability, cooperation, and readiness to work. During the year each committee has certain duties to per- form. Representatives are elected by every girl ' s advisor group to attend, and report the weekly meet- ings, which are held in the Girls ' Club Room. This system has proved very satisfactory, and has given more girls a chance to actively participate in the work. The biennial Bazaar was the big success of the year, because almost every girl in school did her part and helped in some way. Approximately $1,300 was cleared, and this all went into the scholarship fund. The Bazaar Committee was headed by Mickey Macalister, secretary of the organization. This year ' s Magazine Drive was also very success- ful, as managed by Betty Bonnet, vice-president. Free Echoes were awarded those girls selling the most subscriptions, and recognition was given at an as- sembly. President Patty Chancellor and Franny Schipfer, treasurer, had no one particular responsibility, but worked hard throughout the year at their respective jobs — the one to keep the Girls ' Club well organized and to carry on the long-established traditions of the 24 FIRST SEMESTER ' GIRLS ' CLUB COMMITTEES First Row — Anderson, Fitch.

The Financial Committee, with Patty Harshaw as chairman, undertook the sale of hot dogs at all the home football games last fall, and cleared a nice profit. Another project of this committee was a bake sale in the spring. Throughout the year they sold sandwiches, pop, candy, school stationery, emblems, and banners, on various occasions. The main pur- pose of this committee, and it is a very important one, is to enlarge the scholarship fund, so that as many girls as possible can be helped with their college ex- penses. This year about $1000 will be available for this purpose. Girls receiving these scholarships, up- on finding themselves in more favorable financial Jne (L,ck oei
