THE GIRLS' CLUB The Girls' Club of South lfligh School has continued, uninterrupted, since it was organized in 1923 by Miss Norma Wfilliams, supervisor of the girls at that time. The object of the club is to offer to the girls of the school a medium through which service can be rendered, and inspiration to high living may be received. It associates them in friendly co-operation through properly organized channels, and binds them in a spirit of loyalty to South. The Girls' Club is valuable in many ways: it creates new acquaintances and broadens old friendships, it helps the worthy on various holidays, and adds greatly to the happiness of high school days. The standing committees are Program, Service, and Friendship: the last committee en- deavors to keep in touch with girls who are out of school owing to extended illness. The annual May Day festival is a traditional Girls' Club activity. Virginia Shelley of January, 1030, and Leitha Harr of June, 1930, have served as presi- dents of the club this year. page lz1111d1't'd f0l'fj'-SI..l,'
