GIRLSTEAGUE The Girls ' League has been active as usual this year, sponsoring many interesting activities for the girls. The first of these was a Penny Day. On this day all the girls were asked to donate pennies for the benefit of the Girls ' League. Early in October, the Executive Board gave a tea for their advisers and the program for the year was planned. The Girls ' League assisted in the success of Blue and Gold Da ' by offering for sale crepe paper and pom-poms of the desired colors. The Girls ' League Federation Convention at Beverly Hills was attended by a group of the Board members during November 3 and 4. One of the in- teresting events of the fall was the Hard Times Frolic. All the girls were welcome to come in their oldest clothes and everyone had a good time. At Christmas time, the girls cooperated with the boys in giving a Christmas Cheer party for some of the less fortunate children. The new sophomores in February were given a party and also a tour of the grounds so as to be better acquainted with the school. Friday, April 13, marked the day of the Gym Jubilee, sponsored by the co- operation of the G. A. A. and Girls ' League. Much commendation is due Miss Ethel M. Robinson, the Girls ' League Sponsor, as it is she who originates many of the splendid programs which the girls present.
