Under the leadership of Mrs. Brown, the League has furthered its purposeg that is, to bring girls of all walks of life closer together. The year is filled with such memories as: brown giants in the quadrangle, the long looked-forward-to Christmas party-with its roaring fire, candles, carols, and line spirit-mothers' teas, noon meetings, backward dances, big sister parties and clean-up committees. President Rausch's Oh, itis going to be just wonderful! will linger in the memories of the girls of S-7, as will Cleols struggle to get dues. Sarah Prugh and Amelia Martin can always be counted upon when help is needed, Pat Langley wins a gold star for her work on clean-up committees, and to Martha Simons, song- bird, credit is due for leading the singing. Among these girls tribute is paid to Frank Howland for his co-operation and Girls' League spirit UD. GIRLS' LEAGUE COUNCIL CLOwer Centerj Stcmding: Sauer, Rausch, Fulmer.
