The League is incessantly active; its services are numerous and inestimable. Under the League’s supervision, the remarkable work at the Phyllis Wheatley and I nity Settlement Houses has been carried on. Gloriously successful was the annual Christmas Party for the Phyllis Wheatley kiddies, to whom toys were donated by the various clubs and home rooms of the school. In addition to the admirable settlement work, the Girls’ League sponsored a “B” Sophomore Welcome Party, and a “Girls' Sunlite ’ this year. It also administered the student government work in the lunch room and study halls.
