NvERY0NE in the Y. w. CA
~ building wondered whether
the Tower Of Babel had sud-
denly been changed to Fourteenth
and r streets. until they found
that the Friendship Club girls
were having their monthly sup
per there recently. Everything
was perfectly clear to the listen
ers then. for whenever $50 girls
get together there II sure to be
. great deal Of conversation tax
ing place. This Il especially true
when these same girls are from
five different girls schools and
assemble but once q month.
Eastern High School girls were
the hostesses. and the room was ap-
propriately decorated in light blue
and white. Each club soon estab-
lished Its identity by school yells AMI
songs until the building resounded
with the ballyhoo.
GIRLS SILENT.
After q very enjoyable supper,
which ended with the most delicious
cream puffs ever made, the girls
listened attentively to speeches
made by Mrs. Alice Buchanan from
Jellefrs. and Mrs. Helen Taylor, Of
the Y. w. c. A.. since this was the
mid-year conference.
Mrs. Buchanan, who Is an
honorary member Of Central's Bon
Secour Club. spoke on business ef-
feciency AZ related to the modern
girl. She said that . girl to be real
iy efficient should have good health,
common sense. and q high sense Of
honor. II a girl has these qualities
she 10 pretty sure to be successful
In anything she may attempt.
Mrs. Taylor told about the forma-
ton Of the first Friendship clubs in
1914. by Miss Helen Hughes, who
was then the Y. W. c. A. girls work
secretary.
Early in January. 1914, q club
was formed In each Of the five high
schools with an average of ten men,
bers to a club. These clubs have
grown a great deal. and now there
are from so to 200 girls in each club.
TEACHERS PRESENT.
One Of the most interesting facts
that Mrs. Taylor mentioned was
that Mrs. Farr of Central. and Miss
Merrill, Of Western. We're present as
faculty advisers both in January,
1914. and in January. 1920. This is
only one instance Of how the teach
ers have helped and encouraged
the clubs since their formation. and
the girls are properly appreciative.
Mrs. Taylor mentioned some Of
the difficulties the clubs had had
since their beginning. but added
that she thought they had climaxed
their success when a Washington
girl was elected chairman Of the
1871 conference at Nepahwin.
After these speeches, the girls
danced and had a good time gen.
orally until time to 30 home.
A reporter was expected, but at
the last minute he decided not to
invade mo Mans Land" and
phoned that he could not come. He
has the sincere sympathy Of every
one, but his absence was regretted
by all.
