1 GIRLS’ LEAGLE ¥ he outstanding events sponsored by the Girls ' League this year were the Freshman Reception, Christmas Party, Mother’s Day Program and, Good Manners week. The Freshman Reception is given by the Girls’ League to welcome the fresh¬ man girls and to get them acquainted with our school. Each freshman girl has a “Big Sister” who takes her to the program and luncheon. The reception was held on a Friday afternoon in the small gymnasium. After the program was completed, the rest of the afternoon was spent in dancing. The Christmas Party was a happy time for all. A skit was put on by each of the classes, the Debate Club, Scholarship Society, and the Penguins. The Christmas Party was held on the afternoon of December 18. The Girls’ League is a charter member of the Federation of Girls’ Leagues of the Bay Counties. Delegates are sent every year to its annual convention. Since its organization in 1919, the Girls’ League has steadily grown in number through the help and advice of Miss Sandholdt, our dean and advisor.
