There were several outstanding social events on the Girls 1 Federation calendar. The sophomore girls planned and sponsored the annual Girls ' Fed¬ eration party which they named ' ' Story Book Characters ' 1 , The party was en¬ joyed by all and the various and amusing costumes won smiles as well as prizes. In the spring the senior girls and their mothers were graciously enter¬ tained at the Senior Tea given by the Junior girls. A clever program, consisting of the class history, prophesy, and will, was presented; unusual and enticing refreshments were served. In May came the final social event when the freshmen girls played big sisters to next year ' s incoming freshmen. The eighth- graders were informed of Wa-Hi ' s dress standards and introduced to the Feder¬ ation officers. The year ' s activities were brought to an end and, although there was a great deal of work done, a lot of memories remain of the good times shared by everyone. May the next year ' s be even more profitable, is the wish of all the Federation girls who are graduating this year.
