An organization which fosters friendship among all the girls and promotes a valuable background of ideal young womanhood is the Girls ' League. The first social activity was the Big-Little Sister Tea at which each freshman student was given a big-sister under whose guidance she remained for the afternoon. At this time Miss S. Botelho was recognized as the new adviser. This year many interesting activities were held. A series of vocational teas were held, at which outside speakers talked on occupations for women. The annual Girls ' League Convention held at Burlingame High School was attended by Ellen Power, Betty Denton, and Miss Botelho. Other activities were the football dinner; the annual winter sport dance; and the canned food drive. The officers for the year were: Ellen Power, President; Marjorie Pementel, Vice-Presi¬ dent; Myrtle Corey, Secretary; June Farrington, Treasurer; Sylvia Valles, Yell Leader; Lorraine Peterson, Program Chairman; Edna Leal, Chairman of the Ways and Means; and Betty Denton, Hospitality Chairman. 28
