THE FORUM Members of the Forum have improved noticeably in public speaking as a result of the practice they have had this term. This club is maintained to help students ex- press themselves before a group. Many people who have run for Student Body positions have found their training a great aid when making their introductory speeches. The Forum has had a successful term under the leadership of Loyd Moore, presi- dent; William Parker, vice-president; and Eugenia Floyd, secretary. Faculty advisers were Mrs. Parrill, Miss Nunn, and Miss Alexander.

Girt RESERVE CABINET Standing: Wickersheim, Younglove, Markus, McBurney. Seated: Annellini, Doney, Beck. WINGE D SHIELD OFFICERS Covell, Ball, Wilson, Hahn. GIRL RESERVES The membership of the Girl Reserves during the 1935 Fall Semester has shown a very definite increase over the last three years. Regular meetings were held every two weeks and committee meetings were held on each alternate Thursday. Following the Mystery Flight party given at the beginning of the term as a means of acquainting girls with the club were the Recognition Services. More than twenty- five girls, the majority being sophomores, were recognized as members on November 7, at the traditional candle lighting service. Social activities of the club included a hike and a weiner roast in Alvarado park, a peanut feed, a kitchen party, an informal tea, and a Christmas party at which the members exchanged gifts. The fact that this organization exists for service was demonstrated when the mem- bers twice gave their help in the Community Chest drive. Last summer five girls went to Gold Hollow, the Girl Reserve summer camp,.and three girls attended the annual Girl Reserve Conference at Asilomar. Besides bringing back new ideas and plans which were introduced into the club, these girls brought back with them memories never to be forgotten. All in all, this term has been most active and successful. The cabinet consists of Edna Wickersheim, president; Marie Markus, vice-president; Dorothy Younglove, secretary; Stella Anellini, treasurer; Elsine Beck, program chairman; Jeanne McBurney, service chairman and Marie Doney, social chairman.
