Girls' Letter Club . ALL enthusiastic sports women of Salem high will be found as members of the Girls' Letter club. About two hundred girls who have earned at least a hundred points by the Oregon Point System are enrolled in the club. In addition to the regular officers, girls are elected as heads of the various sports and direct interclass competition. Every girl in high school has the opportunity to be in the Grand March, which is always the feature of the Jym Jamboree. This year, the theme of the Jamboree was an Indian Pow Wow to which num- erous countries sent their delegates. Chief White Eagle, Alice Swift, opened the peace conference with a speech of welcome. Scotch lassies were the first arrivals, bringing with them a lively dance to the music of bagpipes. Quaint, but entertain- ing, was the peasant dance contributed to the conference by Italy. Ireland was well represented by the sprightly Jig of the colleens. A touch of the Orient was added by the Japanese maids in their colorful kimonas who rendered a native Cherry Blossom dance, holding the pink sprays in their hands. Germany, famous for her tumblers, sent some of her best, while Egypt, not wishing to be outdone, sent her star pyramid builders to demonstrate how human pyramids look. The I-Iansesn and 'A Gretchensf' hailing from the land of wooden shoes, joined the ceremonial with a striking windmill dance. Lads and lasses of Merrie England danced the Rufty-tufty, the popular dance in 1651. A formal bar drill, performed by Swedish maids in trim shirts and shorts, showed perfect timing and coordination. And a few of the Ethiopians not in the war were there and danced a cannibalistic threat amid the shouts of the spectators. That Uncle Sam could hold his own was proved by the snappy tap-dancers in their gay red-white-and blue ensembles, and cocky red striped high hats. Around a glowing campfire, Chief White Eagle and his tribe gathered and lifted their voices in song, when into their midst appeared a lone eagle which danced to the distant sound of tom-toms. Thus ended the Pow Wow. Senior two hundred point girls who have been judged by the entire high school faculty on cooperation, scholorship, honor, and health are awarded gold pins. Exactly a dozen girls have received them this year. These girls were: Jeanette Brown, Dorothy Butte, Alice Cunningham, Rose Ann Gibson, Marian I-Iultenberg, Isabel lVIcGilchrist, Eleanor Perry, Mildred Rickman, Alice Swift, Irene Van Avery, Esther Vehrs, and Dorothy Williams. It is a still greater honor to receive the Snook cup, presented by Grace Snook Wolgamott to the girl with the highest rating in a physical efnciency test. Last year's winner was Marian I-Iultenberg. The social year will be completed with a picnic besides the costume dance held last fall. 86
