There is an immense amount
of work to be accomplished, and
with the help and cooperation of
the students the year will be a
successful one. In connection
with the work of the Girls’
League there is much to be done.
At present the League is busy
with the in-coming new girls.
Brilliant plans are being formed
for the May Party, which is
given by the Girls’ League.
Long before we realize it, grad¬

this in view the semester prom¬
