The theme of the organization for the year of 1955 and 1936 was Going Places and Doing Things with the American Girl. G. R. entered into many activities both social and economic. At Christmas baskets were given to needy families. A Doll's Tea was held at which the girls dressed dolls to be given to children at Christmas time. Later a party was given with the Hi-Y called a Hi-R dance. The profits of the bake sale held in the fall paid for the Ring Banquet, the biggest event of the year to all G. R. girls.
