Girl Reserves Willard is well represented in the Girl Reserves. Practically every grade has its club and Mrs. Allen is sponsor of all the Willard groups. As a Girl Reserve I will try to be gracious in manner, impartial in judgment, ready for service, loyal to friends, and asso- ciation with these girls impresses one with the thought that this quotation from the Girl Reserve Code is quite in harmony with their aims in school life. Their activities are varied: selling candy to send members to Asilomar, making bean- bags and May-baskets for the nursery tots, visiting factories for information, rehearsing plays and pantomimes for entertainment, a dinner for parents, teas for friends, swim- ming pa rties, dances, picnics, hikes, and summer camp for their own recreation. The girls revel in the joy of it all, and they like it. Their smiles are contagious.
