Girls' Club The Girls' Club. founded thirty years ago, is one of the major organizations of the Four Year College. Every girl upon entering the first two years of the Four Year College au- tomatically becomes a member. The aim of the' club is to further a democratic spirit, to give to all girls the opportunity for service, and to promote a wholesome social life. The club, as its name implies, really be- longs to the girls themselves. The activities of the club are directed by a board of twelve girls and a faculty adviser. Every girl in the school is encouraged to actively participate in its activities by working on one of the four committeesg the Settlement, Service, Publicity. or Social Committee. The Settle- ment and Service Committees sponsored the charitable activities of the club, the Settle- ment Committee centering its interests in . . . meeting 1 22 the University of Chicago Settlement House and the Service Committee sponsoring the Scholarship Drive, Spring Cleaning Drive. and several other drives for charitable pur- poses. The Publicity Committee was re- sponsible for a large part of the success of the Girls' Club functions by advertising them in posters and newspaper articles. The So- cial Committee very successfully supervised the social events which included an eleventh year Mother-Daughter Tea, the Senior- Alumni Tea, a picnic in the country, and the twelfth grade Mother-Daughter Luncheon. The efforts of every member of the board were combined to give The Snowbelleu, a Christmas party. and Hearts VVithout Flowers . the annual Girls' Club dance. This year has been very profitable because of the fine co-operation and hard work of the board and .the assistance of Mrs. Senescu, the faculty adviser. GIRLS' CLUB BOARD Peggy Portis ....

Stein, H. Rubin. Gleavesg G. Vvillensg M. Yam- polsky. Weekly The Four Year College XVeekly has com' pleted its third successful year. This year it aimed to unite more closely the first two years of the college with the last two. To carry out that aim, the XVeekly had a thir- teenth year student editor, .Ioan Ellen Sal- mon, who also edited the paper last year. The distribution of the NVeekly was more widespread than before. All students in the Four Year College received a copy. whether they were on campus or not. Contributions of stories and articles from the thirteenth and fourteenth year students were good, but few and far between. Staff members, except for the editor, were eleventh and twelfth grade students. Dur- ing the past year the editorial positions have managing editor rose and then completely disappeared. But the editors have had a more serious difficulty to cope withg the lack of student eo-operation. The VVeekly has never in its past had the organization that it had this year. and in spite of that, or perhaps because of that, students were unwilling to report and write up events. Several times during the year oral pleas and written ones in the form of editorials were made, with promising results.
