TRAINING IS IMPORTANT,
SAYS MISS NELLIE DRY
More Than 3,000 Girls in North Carolina
Now Keeping Training—33 Girls
Have Signed Cards
‘“Fraining is an important factor in
the life of any girl,” according to Miss
Mary Morrow, head of training at G.
H. S. “Not only does training affect
ahout a hundred of our own girls, but
throughout North Carolina there are
more than :>,000 girls keeping training.
“Although a requirement for a “G,”
I think when the girls once keep train
ing they make it a habit. From well
kept bodies result strong and efficient
girls, such as G. II. S. is proud to
claim.”
For the fall semester 33 girls have
already signed training cards.
