GIRLS LEAGUE MOTTO

Honors, Service and Loyalty

The Girl's League of Reardan High School is a service organization, Any girl may become a member. This year we had forty-eight members.

The officers for the school year 1952-53 are as follows:

President: Anita Thornton
Vice President: Elsie Rhoads
Secretary: Janet McDowell
Treasurer: Shirley Ensor
Student Council Rep.: Jo Ann Tierney
Advisor: Miss Larson

This year we were divided into committees, each with a special work to do. The committees are as follows:

General: Chairman, Helen Madison; Asst., Heidi Schmitt.
Personal Efficiency: Chairman, Esther Humphrey; Asst. Winnie Lou Puls.
Entertainment: Chairman, Carol Lightle; Asst., Joanne Weyen.

The general theme of the meetings was vocations and avocations. Each month had its special topic.

November—Demonstration on Ceramics
December—Clerical work;
January—Photography
February—Nursing
March—Textile painting demonstration
April—Merchandising
May—Modeling and designing.

The new members were initiated into the Club on October 20. Each Freshman girl lighted a candle and repeated the Girl’s League Oath.

In fulfilling the function of our organization, last fall we filled food baskets for needy families. These were distributed to two families, one in Spokane and one in Reardan. A turkey, vegetables, and baked goods comprised the food donated.

Other activities consisted of candy sales, making of scrap books, food sales, providing the student body with a Christmas program, and the sponsoring of movies.

The Girl’s League was active also in tuberculosis donations, and also by sending a delegate, Bernadine Schmitt, to the Lincoln County T. B. meetings.

This year the Girl’s League purchased a popcorn machine as a means of making money. It proved to be a good investment.

Members of the Girl’s League helped with the decorating for the school Carnival. Some of the girls worked in the booths the night of the Carnival.

As part of our social program, we sponsored a roller skating party at Dishman, Washington. Many of the high school students participated in this event.

On May 19, we concluded our years activities with a picnic at Silver Lake. This was a very joyous occasion.

The girls get a certain number of points for doing different jobs, These points when accumulated to the needed number enable the girl to get a pin. The points needed for each pin are: <poem> 30 points: First year pin 60 points: Second year pin 90 points: Third year pin 120 points: Fourth year pin <poem>
