emu' :Lua The Girls' Club was formed for the purpose of giving the girls organ- ized leisure. It has also served another purpose, that of giving the girls training in leadership. Among the most important events in the calendar of the Girls' Club this year were the annual conference at Paso Robles, the Vocational Conference at Asilomar, Hi Jinx, and programs at the general meetings. The Paso Robles Conference had the general theme, The Things That Are Most Excellent. This was adopted as the Girls' Club theme for this year. The Asilomar Conference attempted to show the girls which vocations are best for women and which are not overcrowded. Hi Jinx this year had the general plan of a mock track meet. That idea combined with the appearance of Topsey and Turvey succeeded in making an excep- tionally interesting evening for all the girls who attended Hi Jinx. The programs for the general meetings were as follows: A play describing the trials of some would-be play producers by Miss Luella Hall's group, a patriotic program by Miss Gertrude Waterman's group, a play in blank verse by Miss Margaret Poole's group, and Tea and Algebra, an amusing story of high school girls' troubles by Miss Ruth Meier's group. The officers of the Girls' Club this year have been president, Melba DeClossg vice-president, Evelyn Errington, secretary, Esther Jacobsen, treasurer, Ruth Tarverg song-leader, Emma Schneider, and custodian of records, Mary Williams. Mrs. Ruth Wing was the Girls' Club faculty adviser, and Miss Gertrude Waterman, Miss Luella Hall, Miss Poole, and Miss Meier were the group advisers. GIRL RESERVES r W Gracious in manner, impartial in judgment, ready for service, loyal to friends, reaching toward the best, earnest in purpose, seeing the beauti- ful, eager for knowledge, reverent to God, victorious over self, ever dependable, sincere at all times-the first letters of the phrases, when grouped together, spell Girl Reserves. To the members of this club in our school, it spells much more. These few lines represent a measuring stick for the Reserves. Always to live up to the motto is the greatest factor in the club. Taffy pulls, potluck suppers, and swimming parties are some of the added features to the more serious purpose to carry out the four projects of religion, health, service, and social work. 330

The two students who have Won this honor are Taneko Irino and Marguerite Hayward. FLASHLIGHT Flashlight this year has gone on to new heights. Several changes have been made in the paper, one of which was the placing of editorials on the second page. The most radical change on the humor page' was the abolishment of Guess Who section. Replacing this section is a more gossipy column than ever published before in the history of the paper. A new section made its appearance with the coming of the Fortune Teller. Over nine hundred students subscribe to the paper, from freshmen in high school to sophomores in junior college. This brought many diiiiculties in the type of news, but the staff came through all right. Members of the staff for the year of '33-'34 were editor, Doris Alexander, sports editor, Jim Tetrickg humor editor, Dorothy Abbott, feature editor, Mary Williams, circulation manager, june Abe, business manager, Arnold Cornettg reporters, Kathleen Rice, Ruth Appleby, Ruth Kellom, Marian Andersen, Margaret Trondhjem, Miles Holaday, Ethel Miller, Irma Johnson, Jerry Hirsch, Charles Maloney. 032
