Girl Reserves By the creation of a new commit- tee, freshmen girls were allowed to join the senior Girl Reserves this year for the first time. This addi- tion went under the name of the Worship committee, and was respon- sible for the devotions used in gen- eral meetings of the organization. The main event of the year for the Girl Reserves was G. R. Week. This is an annual celebration during which every active member is kept busy. In the course of this Week, the mem- bers entertained their fathers at a Dad-Daughter frolic and their moth- ers With a Mother-Daughter tea. On their regular club day, small notes of affection were exchanged among the girls. This annual interchange of love notes has become a stand- ing custom. In honor of the faculty members, a tea was given them by the Girl Reserves during this week of activities. Girl Reserve officers for this year were: Jessie Hawley, president, Beverly Steiner, vice-president, Mary Esther Graber, secretascyg Teresa Bunting, treasurerg Joanne Jackson, song leader and Adelyn Deschner, pianist.
