members and each member was re- quired to adopt this purpose: 'The purpose ofthe G. G. L. Club shall be to promote the physical, social, moral, and spiritual welfare of the girls of their school through the creation and exten- sion of the higher standards of Christian character. As a member, I will strive to be Gracious in manner lmpartial in judgment Ready for service Loyal to friends Reaching towards the best Earnest in purpose Seeing the beautiful Fager for knowledge Reverent to God Victorious over self Ever dependable Sincere at all times.' For service work at Thanksgiving time, the Club decided to contribute toward food for a large needy family. They were very successful in this work owing to the diligent work of the Service Committee and its chairman, Elizabeth Walker. At Christmas time, sewing was done for the Central Association. The Programme Committee and its chairman, Verna Sommers, planned the programme for each meeting. At various times, programmes were arranged for weeks in advance of presentation. Parties, hikes, and other activities were planned and executed with very pleasing results. This was due to the efforts of the Social Committee and its chairman, Lorraine Olle. The Carnivai given in December was a great factor in the work of the G. G. L. Girls this year. Their joint co-operation with the High-Y Boys proved to be a great help toward the success of the Carnival. By giving programmes and holding candy sales in the School, enough money was raised to send fifteen delegates to the Girl Reserves Convention at Madi- son in February.

MISS GROVERU lsnIt that a splendid record, Bob? said Natalie to her brother. And to her mother, Was there a Freshman Girls' Club, too, Mother?

.ml ll: lll '-'H'-nun 'i':1 lllilll ,nn 1 iii llll . llilllllill Miss Grover, the adviser of the G. G. L. Club, had charge of the Spanish Club too, and was my Spanish teacher, said mother. 'Tve been wondering whether I should take Spanish for my foreign language next year, mused Natalie. I think you'd better take it,', sug- gested Bob, this account of their club sounds like good timesg and they might be even better now. See how you like itz THE SPANISH CLUB The Spanish Club was organized in October and included only about thirty students taking second and third year Spanish. The meetings were held every other Thursday in the McMynn Audi- torium at 4:15 o'clock. The programmes were interesting and often unique. These programmes consisted of Spanish reci- tations, songs, and solos, reading on the Spanish costumes, and a study of various countries of Spanish-speaking people. The Club sponsored a delightful party in honor of Washington's birthday, the chief feature of this party was a Spanish dance by Norma Prostrednick. During the second Semester, the club met at the homes of various members. The dues were Hve cents for each meeting. The officers of the club were as follows: Firft Semefter Prefidentr FRANK DIETER Vice Preyicient: WILFREI7 HOLZ Secretary: ELEANOR SACKRIDER Treafeurer: RUTH MANTELL Programme Chairman: ROBERT BANK Second Semesfer Prefident: ROBERT BANE Vice Prefidenr: WILFRED HOLZ Secretary: EMIL MAUEI, Treafnrer: ROBBINS FOSTER Programme Chairman: BEATRIX BUELL Faculty Advifer: MISS GIZOVERH As Bob handed the Annual to his sis- ter, something dropped on the floor.

Dad, said Mother, do you remem- ber the busy time Miss Harvey had of it that year? Why, yes, Dad repliedg she was the adviser for the clubs her Civics classes organized, was she not? What does the Kipikawi say of these clubs? UCIVICS CLUBS The clubs in Miss Harvey's civics classes are organized to awaken interest in active citizenship. Meetings are held every Friday, and are conducted with due care for parliamentary procedure. The aim of these meetings is to train the members to conduct a meeting correctly and to dispose of business rapidly. But the higher aim is to produce the type of citizen that can play his part fearlessly, yet at the same time be con- siderate of the opinions of others, thus making an organization truly democratic rather than allowing it to be ruled by a few. Good club spirit aids in the culti- vation of courteous manners, while the programmes give an opportunity for public speaking and debate. ' As a practical demonstration of their interest in public welfare, the civics clubs instituted a thrift campaign to gather up old clothing, furniture, and dishes. These things were taken to the Thrift Shop and sold for the benefit of the Milk Fund and the Baby Clinic. Helen Cvreen headed the committee in charge, while Florence Buerk was secre- tary and treasurer. A chairman who had power to enlist ten aids was appointed for each ward while Stephen Cushman collected as head of the Motor Corps. ll llll.ilI ll
