Three of the girls are members of the Courier staff. Although new to high school they started right in money-making schemes. Two of their 12 best were the Halloween Party, and the leather belts and articles they made. They were formally introduced to high school society at the Freshman reception. They did not enjoy it so much as the outsiders did, but they were all good sports, dressed in the cos- tumes of funny paper characters. H.B.
