The Girl Reserves One of the largest and most active organizations of the school is the Girl Reserves. This club has been exceedingly popular with the girls, and has grown very rapidly. The roll contains more than a hundred names, and the Reserves have not yet stopped growing. The officers for the fall term were: President, Dorothy McGuffin; vice- president, Alice Bagley; secretary, Ardis Richmond; treasurer, Maizie Samples ; program chairman, Muriel Hunt; social chairman, Madge Baker; and service chairman, Doris Pinson. In the spring semester the officers were: President, Muriel Hunt; vice- president, Pauline McDonald; secretary, Ardis Richmond; treasurer, Margaret Vidal; program chairman, Mildred Wollet; scoial chairman, Meta Laird; and service chairman, Kathryn Snodgrass. Miss McLaurin, Miss Cox and Miss Osbourne contributed to the interesting affairs which the Girl Reserves have enjoyed. The hikes have been particularly popular : two in Marin County, one in the Berkeley Hills, and one to Long Beach. The meetings were enlivened by the program committee, and parties, especially at Thanksgiving and Christmas, were much enjoyed. Musical programs were much in demand, and several excellent ones were secured. The service and social committees have done a great deal toward the benefit of others. During the Thanksgiving season a paper drive was initiated and carried through for the purpose of raising funds with which to buy provisions for the poor. The whole school cooperated under the leadership of the club, and many baskets were provided for the needy. Girls absent from school for a long period have been kept in touch with through the service committee. The school as a whole recognizes the good work of the Girl Reserves, as is evidenced by the increasing membership of the club. The Girls’ Hi-Y Club Although this has been the first year of its history, the Girls’ Hi-Y has earned a place among the most popular and useful organizations of the school. Meeting at the local Y. M. C. A. every Wednesday evening under the direction of Mrs. A. W. Mueller, this club has been organized with the purpose of developing leader- ship and sportsmanship. The officers for the fall semester were: President, Dorothy Barbikas; vice- president, Maxine Hyatt; secretary, Bertha Fisher, and treasurer, Charlotte Page. Those acting during the spring semester were: President, Mary Mann; vice-presi- dent, Margaret Sandvick; secretary, Naomi Mahnke, and treasurer, Opal Wilson. More than a hundred members were counted in the club, and each semester initiations were held. Each meeting began with lively discussions on every-day problems. This was followed by gym work and competition in all sorts of sports. Parties and hikes brought out much enthusiasm and furnished amusement. The club was entertained by the Boys’ Hi-Y in the spring, after having given the latter a party in the fall. As a whole, the Girls’ Hi-Y has been successful in emphasizing the value of good sportsmanship and leadership. The rate at which the club has grown and is growing insures its permanence. There are benefits to be derived from the Hi-Y which no other organization in the school can offer. Twenty-nine |
