Go SS BON Ses Girl Sponsors, a new organization under the direction of Miss Alexander and Miss Brooke, was inaugurated this semester. The purpose of this organization was to intro- duce new girls to ‘Richmond Union High School, to show them the grounds, tell them about the various clubs and organizations, and to make them feel at home by helping them “get acquainted.” Thirty girls from the C. S. F. were called together to form the nucleus for the Spon- sors. From these girls a president and ten captains were appointed. They were Barbara Williams, president, Lois Mae Anderson, Betty Boyd, Beverly Craven, Frances Favero, Lois Nuss, Alice O’Brien, Edwina Perey, Bessie Poulos, Dolores Sherwood, Dorothy Strother, and Jacquiline Thompson. Each captain was then put in charge of ten sponsors. On September 13, the beginning of the new semester, each captain was assigned to three advisories of 1-10’s where each sponsor took charge of three girls. There were also ca ptains to take care of the transfers. This has been continued, and sponors are in Miss Brooke’s office each day during the lunch periods to help transfers. The first day of school was not the end of the Sponsor’s job, for she contacted her girls later to see if everything was going well, and invited them to the party given for all new girls. This party given during the second week of school for all new girls, turned out to be a great success by providing a chance for all the girls to get together and become bet- ter ac cquainted. The Girl Sponsors have helped to orient the many new girls who came to Richmond this year.
