The purpose of this club is to give the girls of South an opportunity to earn a school letter: the aim of the club is to promote health and good sportsmanship among the girls of the school. As there is no interscholastic competition for girls in the Akron public schools, a point system has been evolved. AX girl who earns her letter must make points in all the various lines of athletic activities: she must swim, she must hike: she must take part in the or- ganized sports of the school year: she must make points in her daily gym class. Any girl wishing to become a member must he a candidate for one semester and must make il fty points during the semester. A fter being taken into the club a girl must make twenty-one points a semester in order to remain a member. .X girl must make 200 points for her small letter. Seventy-iive of these points must be in sports and games, seventy-live in class work, and the remaining lifty are optional. It usually takes a girl a year and a half to earn her lirst letter. Before a girl may wear an club pin, she must make seventy points. The letter of the Club is all old English forty-eight of these letters have been awarded since the Club was started. The club has many social events all through the year, which are thoroughly enjoyed by the members. The officers for the tirst semester were: Irene liwerth, President: Frances Thomp- son, Vice-President: Audrey Baer, Treasurer: and Anita llersman, Secretary. For the second semester officers were: Grace llensal, President: Lucille XYetzel, Yice-President: Esther Al- bert, Secretary: and Gertrude Jacobs, Treasurer. page ,lZl1ZfI'I'Pd flzntx wt 4 ll
