All the activities worked out well and proved highly beneficial. Among the activities were two conferences of great interest — one held in San Diego in the fall and one in Huntington in the spring. The first regional conference was held in January, at San Bernardino, with girls from Colton, Redlands, and Riverside in attendance. Several exchange programs were attended, and one was conducted here in February. The annual welfare drives at Thanksgiving and Christmas were well handled by Phyllis Button. Monthly assemblies were put on by Betty Lackey. The girls also arranged for Junior High Day refreshments; and new girls in school found their strange surroundings easier because of a Friendship Committee, headed by Naomi Coons. A great deal of the success must be credited to the girls ' adviser, our Dean of Girls, Dr. Mary Mendenhall, who was a good helper and a dear friend to all.
