THE NORTHROP LEAGUE

It hardly seems necessary in this, the sixth year of the League’s existence, to explain its purpose. I think it is sufficient to say that the League is an organization which, under Miss Carse’s sympathetic guidance, has come to control the student activities of the high school and the seventh and the eighth grades. It is true, of course, that the League is governed by its officers, but the League itself is what the large body of the girls make it. The pledge, an expression of its standards, seeks to hold each girl to a high sense of honor, loyalty, and self-improvement. This, briefly, is the purpose. As nearer perfection is reached, in the struggle for this goal, the League gains in power. Thus it is that the League is the result of the effort of every member.
