Girls Organize
Original Association

The councillors and cabinet MEM
ls-s of the. newly organized Christian
Association met from to 10 last
Wednesday evening. The new plan
has been worked out after months of
consideration and meets the full ap-
proval of the girls. In place of a
president. vice president, secretary and
treasurer, there is a council of three
girls. Each one will serve as presi-
dent one term of the year while the
others serve In turn as secretary and
treasurer. The council is supported
by a cabinet of nine girls who are
each the chairman of committee.
Each councillor is ex-off1cio a member
of three committees and will meet
with each of these to help and advise
in their programs. The members of
each of the nine committees are Sc
: lected by the cabinet after every girl
has made known her first and second
choices for the committee on which
she would like best to serve. The
committees are in three groups: Ser
vice, Membership and Missionary;
Citizenship, Publicity and Finance:
and Health. Temperance and Social.
The newly elected councillors are:
Josephine Rand, '26, Ruth LAVAL, '27,
and Doris Jones, '27. The chairman of
the nine committees, who with the
councillors make up the cabinet. are
in order: Carolyn Peterson, '26, Flea
nor Rogers, go, Elizabeth Martin, '26.
Ruth Walenta, '27, Betty Childs. '26.
Beverly Powell. '27. Ruth Graham, '27.
Ruth Bunker, '26, and Helen Hall. '2S.
Each committee will be responsible
for one meeting each term. The girls
feel that this will equalize the re-
sponslbllity and also provide a most
pieaslng variety of meetings. 1t is an
ticlpated that the new plan will
arouse fine competition among the
committees and will make every girl
IN school vitality interested In the
work Of her committee. AS soon as
these plans are found satisfactory.

tlon. AS far as any one at Oak Grove
