.s S Girls League attended by delegates from Redlands, San Bernardino and Colton high schools. Dr. Eleanor Wembridge, well known psychologist, made the keynote address. Each school represented contributed to the day's pro- gram and workable ideas were discussed regarding improvement of the League's activities. I The aim of the Girls League this year was to make life in the com- munity more desirable. To bring this about an emphasis was placed upon organization and projects. There were various activities, such as sports welfare and social service, which the League carried out through the usual committees, and one major project. This was the landscaping of a garden on the campus. Martha Batchelor, civics chairman, supervised the plan- ning of the project. Creating a fellowship among all the girls in Poly was the purpose of the monthly assemblies, which were planned by Kathleen Skelley. Patty Dalrymple, president of Hi-Tri, represented that organization in the League and directed all ceremonial services, such as the installation of new officers and members. One of the finest Christmas and Thanksgiving welfare drives in the history of our school was conducted by Maryhelen Paxton, social service chairman. Maryhelen also arranged entertainment for the children at the County Hospital and directed the emergency Red Cross Drive. The assistance of the girls' adviser and Dean of Girls, Dr. Mary Men- denhall, proved to be most necessary to the successful completion of the year's program. Irene Wilson, representative of the G. A. A. on the Girls League Board, has made a very efficient and conscientious director of the girls' sports. Our vice-president, Anne Bilderback, proved her ability for the executive duties duties during the absence of the president and the presi- dential election. All correspondence connected with the League's program and the con- ference was handled by Dorothy Rix. A contest was sponsored by the League in order to obtain a design for the seal of the new Girls League stationery. The contest was won by Andree Ferris. A plaque of the same design made by Edith L D'E1siscu was hung in the girls' lounge. As treasurer of the League, Shirley Johnson handled all finances con- nected with the conference, as well as attending to the regular League budget. The Girls League aims, above all, to promote friendliness among the girls. Marilyn Miller, friendship chairman, has succeeded in contrib , 'ngw largely to this aim iw The Girls League Advisory Representatives, as the House o ,p sentatives of the Girls League, have been active and faithful 0 II' e- direction of Vivian Hansen, citizenship chairman.
