Girl Reserves Drop Point System The Girl Reserves is the only service club tor girls in the school. Formerly the girls in this club earned points by rendering services, but since the war this point system has been discontinued for the duration, However, the girls are kept active by giving an annual Hi-Y and GR. welcome to all new students, writing Christ- mas letters as a group to service men, and planning the V Boom. The girls also at- tend a local church as a body twice a year with their sponsors, Miss Clare McGillicuddy, Miss Helen Miller, and Miss Audrey Shauer. Because Commando classes are conduct- ed in the morning, the girls meet on every other Monday at tour o'clock instead ot the former assembly period. The new members are inducted in a tormal candlelight service in February, when the purpose and ideals of the club are explained, and the president lights the candle oi each new member. Representatives of the club attend the an- nual district conierence where they get ace auainted with other clubs and bring back new ideas to the school. They also collected clothing tor a relief project.
