THE GIRLS' BOARD President ..................... . ................ Gertrude Heacox The.Girls' Board is an institution which is kept up among the girls of the Academy more by tradition than by a regularly drawn up constitution, but it serves its purpose Well. It is composed ofthe vice-presidents of the four classes, the representative from the Girls' Field Association, two memloers from the Senior class, and two from the Mid- dle class. The purpose of the Board is to deal with many of the social problems of the Acad- emy girls, and to give the girls a certain group of representatives to carry on any Work or discuss any question that is desired of them. It is the custom every year for the girls of the Academy and High Schools to take turns entertaining each other, and the Girls' Board superintends the entertainment given by the Academy girls. , This year the duties of the Board have been light as it is the turn of the High School girls to give the party. However, the Board has discussed and voted on several subjects of interest to the students, and has proven itself of value on many occasions. IIC'
