Girl Reserves want to be artists in living; they want to grow in person- ality themselves and to help others to become their better selves; they want to experience the deep joy that comes from pulling together; they seek the thrill of creative living. All great artists are first of all scientists in that they must know the laws which underlie the art they would appreciate and practice. If Girl Reserves are to be artists in living, some knowledge of the laws which control growth of personality is most necessary. Prof. George A. Dorsey says: Human beings can learn anything by practicing the thing we want to be, or learn with satisfaction; that is to say, so that it pleases us enough to make us want to repeat it until it is learned and has become a habit. You need to learn to choose the habits you want. Personality, decency, and all that is human in y ou grow up through selection. By choice of work, play, companions, words, you become what you are. There are so many kinds of me, Who can know what I shall be?

GIRLS ' BIBLE STUDY GROUP to, 6, fa, 6,6, GIRLS ' BIBLE STUDY The Girls ' Bible Study Class has become a regular part of our school activities. It is conducted under the auspices of the Kentucky Committee of the Young Women ' s Christian Association and our local Girl Reserves. The project begins early in February and lasts for eight weeks. The course this year was: Stories from Life, as depicted in the parables of Jesus. Each year our enrollment has shown an increase over the previous year. This year our class of 199 girls was divided into three groups. The Freshmen group chose Miss Scott as their leader; the Sophomores, Miss Brown; and the Juniors and Seniors, Miss Lewis. Juanita Parsons, Zinna Justice and Edith Day were respectively secretaries of these groups. The fine spirit of cooperation on the part of students and high school teachers enabled us to make an enviable record this year which will warrant us in striving to move forward to first place in 1931. Through these groups our girls are given an opportunity to discuss their present day problems and j receive stimuli to the formation of practical religious ideals. j The ready response of school officials in general to the Bible Study Project t is recognition of the fact that the scriptures are vital today as ever to nourish and inspire, to mold and to guide the inner life of man.
