conditions, have often returned the money to the cluh so that it might be used again. This, of course, is not compulsory, nor even expected. Margery Bellows and her Arrangements Commit- tee took care of the clubroom and kitchenette, both furnished entirely with money earned by the Girls ' Club. This year we purchased a new carpet and various smaller items. The clubroom was used al- most daily for meetings, faculty parties, teas, honor study hall, and many other social and business func- tions. It is not meant to be used as a lounge, but purely as a social room; among the furnishings are a lovely piano and a radio-victrola. This year ' s publicity for all events was managed by Joan Felsenthal and her committee. They made posters and wrote articles for various publications, advertising the numerous functions of the Girls ' Club. The Employment Committee, headed by Jane Records, worked individually and quietly. They were responsible for securing positions for many girls in need of jobs. Louise Yates and her Charity Committee also func- tioned inconspicuously. The work of this committee was almost unrewarded, except for the personal grati- fication the girls received from helping the less for- tunate. Jane Drucker and Joan Gerwe headed the Social and Friendly Committees. Working together on all their projects, these committees accomplished a great deal. Their tasks were not easy, but the results were worth the effort. The first large affair was the Girls ' Club Friendly Banquet, in the fall. The freshman- senior tea, the Christmas open house, a tea for the officers of the Evanston Pentangle Club, and the Mother-Daughter tea were all given for the purpose of promoting greater social friendliness among the students, their friends, and their parents. The bi- ennial Father-Daughter Banquet was also managed by these committees. We know that our fathers look forward to this affair because it enables them to meet their daughters ' friends socially. Special recognition must be given Miss Wright for her untiring effort and ceaseless encouragement. Under her splendid leadership the Girls ' Club of 1938-39 was very successful, and the Board enjoyed working with her immensely.

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

hysical Education Intra-Mural Sports BOYS ' PHYSICAL EDUCATION FACULTY First Row — Mr. Edgar Jackson, Mr. Wilfred Childs — Department Head, Mr. Detorrest Showley. Second Row — Mr. William Happ, Mr. Gottfried Sandvig. • This year ' s physical education staff remains un- changed since the addition of Mr. William Bud Happ last year to the group of hard working in- dividuals who make possible the athletics at New Trier. Reigning supreme is Duke Childs, esteemed head of our physical education department, while Mr. Showley and Mr. Sandvig carry on the work of instructing classes and promoting intra-mural and inter-scholastic athletic competition. Lord of the natatorium and all swimming activities is Mr. Edgar B. Jackson, who is ably assisted by Mr. Happ, a gray-green alumnus of some years past. These five are the nucleus behind all athletics at New Trier. Through their fine work an extensive physi- cal education program is available to every boy. Sports Club • Synonymous with intra-mural athletics at New Trier is the Sports Club, an organization established in 1928 for the purpose of furthering intra-mural sports at New Trier. The club owes its origin and continued success to the head of intra-mural sports, Mr. Showley, who is sponsor of the club. The objects of the Sports Club are: first, to spon- sor, promote, and conduct as many intra-mural sports as possible, to educate boys in methods of playing, officiating and managing the various sports, and lastly to develop sportsmanship and a spirit of fair play among spectators, officials and players. In order to carry out these objectives, meetings are held every Wednesday, at which time, methods of officiating, discussion of the rules and talks by the athletic coaches are presented. Aside from the valuable experience gained, in- dividual members receive points for officiating. When 600, 1,200 and 2,400 points are acquired, mono- grams are awarded to the individuals. Any senior acquiring 600 points or more receives a silver medal, especially designed for the club. One or two outstanding Sports Club members, who have contributed unselfish service to the club and in the promotion of intra-mural sports at New Trier, are honored each year by having their names engraved on the Sports Club trophy. This year Bill Dodds received a 1,200 point award while Art Seddon, Mai Hill, Joe Merril, and Don French each received a 600 point award. The latter two also received the club medals.
