They are the ones who forward school drives, try to straighten out problems, and help their younger classmates through Caesar and algebra. lf one of her stu- dents becomes tangled in a web of studies, the Sponsor is there to lend a hand. Sponsors are elected from the 12B class for every section from 9A to llB. The presidents of the 12A and 12B classes sponsor their own sections. Sponsors are selected for their scholar- ship, leadership, understanding, enthusiasm, and friendliness. They must attend all Representa- ttive Council meetings, report any special prob- lems to the counselor, and meet with Dr. Hart once a month Ato discuss any diflicult situation which might have arisen. ln addition, they attend class meetings, write a monthly letter to Dr. Hart, write notes to their Aids on the Representative Council blanks, and keep in close touch with every one of their students. What would G.H.S. do without them? VVe shall always remember our Sponsors as playing a dual role-that of a teacher and a friend. Their little services here and there are just one more reason why we speak of The intangible spirit of the Philadelphia High School for Girls.

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.
