GIRL RESERVES
OF CITY HOSTS
TO THEIR DADS

Fathers who wonder what the
Girl Reserve organization is all
about, learned a great deal con-
cerning it at the annual father and
daughter banquet given last night
at the high school, by the Girl Re-
serves of the high and grammar
schools.
Other fathers. who knew some-
thing of the girls and their work,
learned q bit more. There were two
score or more fathers present. in
Guiding real fathers and "pinch
hittingo fathers.
The girls put on an interesting
program of songs and stunts. and
some fathers who haven't croaked a
note in years, found out that under
the persuasion of Girl Reserve en-
thusiasm and pep, notes can be
found that might make Caruso roll
over in his grave. but nevertheless
they can pass for being musical.
NsTreasure Huntingo was the
theme of the dinner, the treasure
not being the sort that Captain Kidd
is supposed to have buried, but the
ideals for which the Girl Reserves
strive and in doing which they seek
to carry out their motto, "To seek
and give Of the best
Guides for the treasure hunt and
the map which the hunters should
follow, were explained by Miss ver-
ma B. McKeehan and Miss Isabel S
Ross. members Of the high school
faculty and advisors to the Girl
Reserves.
Principal j. L. House was present
as a guest and Trustees Charles Z
Sones, Dorsey G. Whitelaw and r
p. Moore were present in the dual
capacity of school officials and
dads
While the fathers and daughters
made merry in the dining room
the mothers prepared a delightful
turkey dinner which won for them
the thanks of the diners in the
"Come OUT song used by the Girl
Reserves when they wish to give
praise.
The evening was happy one for
fathers and daughters and should
do much toward making the former
take an interest in the Girl Re-
serve campaign which is to be held
