lift their voices in song" Several
of the new club songs were sung
during the hour, which helped much
to arouse. interest and give the girls
who needed it a little more pep.
Every now and then some tribe
would spring the new war cry which
it had acquired during the past "a
hours, and all of them were very
catchy and Indian like.
The roll was called, each member
giving her name and the name of
| her tribe, thus helping to acquaint
one another with some of those who
have belonged to the club only a
short time.

sides with several teams taking the
names of Indian tribes. composing
