THE PILOT cards, notes, and letters are sent from advisories, classes, and teachers, together with fruit, flowers, and potted plants. The Finance Committee, under the leadership of the treasurer, not only looks after all money and bills but plans and helps manage affairs to raise money. By the sale of Hello Day tags, popsicles, pompoms, Christmas cards, etc., money is made to carry on the ordinary expenses of the league and to increase the Scholarship Fund which makes loans up to four hundred dollars to a girl. At present two girls are continuing their work in college by its aid. For nine years the Girls ' League has aided two little orphan girls. A strong bond of loving svmpathv and pride in them has grown under the thoughtful, affec- tionate guidance of the girl chosen to be their Big Sister. Her reports of the need of shoes and other clothing stir up the deepest interest. Penny Day was instituted to provide for their special desires and needs at Christmas. The Uniform Committee with a judge and three jurors has charge of matters pertaining to the dress and personal appearance of the girls. Decisions are rendered with a view to justice, fair play, and to the special needs of each case. As a rule the decisions are obeyed unquestioningly. The Social Committee opens up a visiting day to all mothers on Mothers ' Day which ends in a delightful tea; then occurs the last and most important event of the year, the Hi-Jinx, including the beautiful ceremony of installing a May queen and ending in a mad frolic of gay masqueraders. The spirit of helpfulness, courtesy, loyalty, and democracy taught by the Girls ' League is one of the most valuable acquisitions of every girl during her years in the Redondo Union High School.
