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 ....

A. carried on widely varied ac- tivities during the year. During the first quarter the hoard spent most of its time making the yearly revision of its Constitu- tion. The newly created ottice of social director was used for the first time in order to co-ordinate social functions under one person. The otlice of vice-president was changed to sports manager. Her duty was to make out the calendar for intramural sports at the beginning of the season so that they would run harmoniously, as well as to carry on her former duties of vice-president. During the fall, the G. A. A. sponsored a hockey tie-up to stimulate interest in the sport. After a game of hockey, the girls hreezed up to the Y room for refresh- ments. The most anxiously anticipated event was the Hayseed Hop barn Dance, which was actually a combination of social and square dancing. lt was held at lda Noyes, with such appropriate decorations as hay, dummies, farm equipment. and checked ta- hle cloths. A few days later the hoard gave a winter tie-up with the closing game of has- kethall for the season. For the spring quar- ter the G. A. A. put on the traditional dime dinner, where all the girls were hrought to- gether for an afternoon of fun and a whole dinner for only lOc. To wind up the activi- ties for the year. the hoard held its animal banquet, where speakers were heard and the girls received their merited awards for in- tramural sports. . . . athletically minded Z4 Beverly Bullen. . .
