In order to carry out the program of the Girl Reserves more effectively, the sophomores were separated from the junior and senior girls. Each group has its own officers and carries out its own program. The officers are Lura Mae Werner, president; Mnemosyne Metzger, vice-prsident; Ernestine Rogers, secretary-treasurer; Mary Wehner, song leader; and Lois Mae Wisener, devotions leader. With Miss Distelrath as adviser, the sophomores have built up a distinctive organization. Red Cross work was undertaken, and the work accomplished was admirable.

One of the most worth-while organizations of Blume High is the Girl Reserves. Their purpose is to face life squarely and to find and give the best. Since this is a junior branch of the Young Women's Christian Association, high morals and religion are given emphasis. During the year interesting speakers, both students and outsiders, made the programs very educational as well as entertaining. Valentine, swimming, and skating parties were enjoyed throughout the year. The officers of this organization are Ellen Lindsey, president; Mary Speidel, vice-president; Elsie Brautigam, secretary; Betty Glee Schnell, treasurer; Jane Shaw, song leader; Imo-gene Smith, devotional leader.
