S. is a member of the Girls' League, and although it is a very large organization, it has been very active. The tive cents, which was collected as dues from every girl, made it possible to sponsor many social activities, At the beginning of the school year, each freshman girl was assigned a senior guide by Dean Felsted, who is sponsor of the League. lt was the duty of the guide to explain the rules of our school and to answer any question that the newcomer might ask. They planned hikes and other entertainment together. Special assemblies were held for the girls, when the Dean gave them good advice concerning appearance, and everything that would help them to de- velop their personality. To the senior girls, she gave talks about college work and suggestions for their future life. Parties were given in order that the girls might become better acquainted, as well as have a good time. The League has drawn an increased number of girls into service, and has played an important role in activities.
