GIRLS LEAGUE THE GIRLS’ LEAGUE, composed of all the girls in high school, under the leadership of Miss Kinnear, was organized many years ago for the purpose of serving the school and the community. The officers this term were Marjorie Shurtleff, president; Alice Olson, vice- president, and Fay Hallstrom, secretary. The first League meeting was held September 13 to discuss the wearing of uniforms. A ballot was taken on the question, but the results were so close, it was necessary to have a recount. Before the business meeting two accordion solos were played by Theresa Ghisio. In the election held in the Cafeteria 6th and 7th periods on October 4, the ma- jority voted for uniforms with. white collars and cuffs, and blue or black skirts, plain or pleated. Many girls suggested that the middies have short sleeves. The last meeting of the term was held on November 8, with Mrs. Tsar N. Calfee, wife of a local attorney, as the speaker. She spoke on the. world changes that have affected the home, the result of which have been more leisure time which eirls of today should use wisely. GIRL RESERVES THE GIRL RESERVES is an organization connected with the national Y. W. C. A. in New York. The Richmond club, however, is independent of larger branches in the East Bay. The general aim is to provide a club for girls to develop their special interests ; therefore the club program changes rapidly. Craft meetings in which speakers talked to the girls on various subjects have been enjoyed. One of the outstanding speakers, Miss Dorothy Cox, spoke on her experiences in Europe. Discussion meetings, too, in which manners, the code, and historical spots, trees, flowers, and points of interest in California have been discussed. The members also have taken part in many games and wienie roasts. The main purpose of the Girl Reserves is to face life squarely and to find and give the best. A recognition service is given every term in which all girls who are interested in joining may attend. After she is recognized, she becomes an active member and may participate in all activities. The officers of this semester’s cabinet are Helen Hinshaw, president; Peggy Horner, vice-president; Jean Williams, secretary; Helen Coppinger, treasurer ; Dorothy Heinemann, program chairman; Sybil Moore, social chairman; and Marie Markus, service chairman. Eacu periop during the day there is a girl in the library assisting Miss Zelma Reeye, librarian. The girls check the attendance lists, issue books that students wish to use, and help people secure material. The library girls for the semester have been Tressa Dell Axtell, Yuriko Sugi- hara, Marjorie Spaulding, Catherine Bastin, Ruth Eichar, Fay Hallstrom, Anna Mae Williams, Linda Roberto, Marion Gordon, and Mary Romero.

DRAMATICS IN PLACE of the regular three-act play, which is usually given as the semi-annual program, two one-act plays and a Spanish dance number were presented this year. A total of 40 students participated in the “Gala Night” program. This is a much larger cast than has ever presented a three-act play; thus the dramatics teachers have had a good chance to find material for future dramatic acts, as most of the participants were lower classmen. The two plays given were “The Kelly Kid” and “Thursday Evening.” Those participating in them were Charles Rosenthal, Phyllis Parr, Mary Romero, Eleanor Lyons, Margaret Keenan, Phillip Goettel, James Brien, Alberta Hill, Alden Pratt, Flsine Beck, and La Roma Zundel. Those participating in the “Spanish Fiesta” were Theresa Ghisio, Joe Michelis, Mary Jean Lowell, Mary Bleuel, Fay Marcyes, Hleen White, Rose Bartolo, Mary Roveda, Norma Case, Frances Wilson, Dorothy Viglione, Muriel Dugan, Phyllis Tandy, Annie Ausez, Annie Muren, Bill Lane, Elwood Frisvold, Charles Reynolds, Lloyd Pearson, Norman Robinson, Stanley Mayer, George Covell, Candida Zanzi, Alice Morris, Ruth Van Marter, Melville Garoutte, General Pearson, Donald Crane, and Arthur Bergman. The plays were under the direction of Mrs. Nellie Pehrson, and the dancing number was directed | by Miss Grace Timmons. Approximately $ $200 was taken in at the performance from the 800 people that attended. Mr. David Gray had charge of the ticket sales and ushers. This was the only program given by the school as a whole during the semester. Several plays were presented by organizations, but were not public.
