differ jkingd growths of the ideal of Service to others. The members of the Traffic Squad pleasantly but efficiently maintain order while passing between periods, to and from Assembly, and during fire drills. The Captains of Study Hall take complete charge of the roll and supervise all study periods. We are indeed proud of their good work. Lunchroom Lieutenants preserve a quiet at- mosphere during our luncheon periods and also make necessary announcements at this time. Hall Hostesses spend pleasant study periods in the halls to welcome our many visitors. An occasional treat is to show them our beautiful building. The secret of the fine cooperation in the Service Club is that it is not made up of a group of Girls' High girls, but IS Girls' High.

MA ,Sifrilfe or As members of our Service Club, we are pre- paring ourselves for 'service in this democratic nation of ours. The Service Club has sought to instill within every student the ideals set forth in the Code of Honor and Courtesy. The two governing bodies are the Executive Council and the Representative Council. The Executive Council is composed of representatives from each classg Representative Council brings together the Aids and Assistant Aids from all sections to discuss matters affecting the entire student body. The Service Club officers, elected by the school at large, preside over both organi- zations. The Service Club, in keeping with its name. devotes itself to the aid of others. The functions of Trafiic Ofiicers, Study Hall Captains, Lunch- room Lieutenants, and Hostesses are all out- Ideniifmiion of pi1'ture.f from lop of page, daft::n:.

The initiates take the following oath: We believe that our most sacred possession is our honor, and we would guard it so jealously that no human being, through us, should suffer the slightest wrong, and that we, for no reward whatever, would accept an advantage that is not fairly ours. Especially we would be faithful to every trust that our own heart, or the confidence of others, reposes in us. We would be kindg helping our fellows with gracious acts and ready sympathy, and in love for them seeking their good above our own. We would be braveg strong to accept defeat, rebuke, misfortune, and to turn them into gain, always attempting, at least, the harder task, and letting not one golden opportunity pass unchallenged. We would be wiseg simple goodness, and devotion to duty, and every grace of the spirit, we would set above any intellectual gain, however brilliant, and every mental attainment above all material things whateverg and we would give to what is noble and true our highest reverence. We here declare our purpose to dedicate our lives to this ideal forever.
