Page 20 July, 1927 N NEWS of the FRISCO CLUBS INETEEN girls, representing every department and point in the general offices, St. Louis, met at 3:30 p. m. in the publicity department, Frisco office building on June 3, far the purpose of forming a girls cIub. This is the first time that the girls of the Frisco offices have ever been organized into purely a girls organization. and this meeting was a most enthusiastic one. Martha C. Moore of the publicity department acted as chairman and explained the purposes of the club, namely, to organize the girls into a unit; to have one meeting a month of one hour and a half duration, when the girls will attend a luncheon, and a program both educational and social will be followed. Following the organization, a questionnaire will be sent to each girl and she may select her special hobby in the way of athletics, music, or dancing. Different branches of the club will be formed which will furnish entertainment for all Frisco affairs and for the beneflt of the club. At each meeting it is hoped to have a representative from the various offices who will give a short address on many of the items on Frisco Lines which may aid the girls in the solicitation of freight and passenger business. At the first meeting of the club, Loretto A. Connor, of the executive department was unanimously elected as the club's first president. She immed- iately took charge of the meeting. An executive committee was appointed which consists of the following girls; C. Lucille Kerr, chairman, architect's office; Ella Eckelkamp, peasury department; Lucy V. Goode, accident prevention department; Lydia Peterson, vice-president traffic department; Margaret Cowan, chief purchasing officer's department ; Agnes M. Larkin, secretary to general agent, 7th Street Station and Kather- ine L. Tiffin, engineer's department. This committee elected a norninat- ing committee of five girls, namely; Sylvia Rachota, chairman, freight accounting department; Catherine RI. Barrett, 7th Street Station; Ada Husbands, comptroller's department; Julia Kitts, auditor's office, and Estelle Hilton, passenger accounting department. These five girls nominated ten gfrls for the office of vice-president, aix for the office of secretary and five lor the office of treasurer. On Friday, June 17, a combined luncheon and business meeting was held at the Jefferson Hotel, and 231 enthusiastic girls met. The meeting was opened with com- munity singing which preceded the luncheon. Peppy parodies on popular MISS LORETTO A. CONSOR songs caused no end of merriment. Following the songs, Martha Moore welcomed the girls to the organization and outlined the plan to be followed by the club members and explained the organization which had already been started. The representative from each department mas introduced, and each girl responded by rising to her feet. Miss Moore introduced the newly elected president, and turned the club over to her. Miss Connor made a fit- ting response, and pledged her aid and her time and asked that the girls respond to all future meetings with the same enthusiasm as they had to the first one. A ballot, containing the names of cirls from which the members were to select their other officers was then nassed around and each girl voted for her candidate. The following officers were elected: Agnes King, freight accounting department and Katherine Renney, auditor's office, first and second vice-presidents; Ella Eckelkamp, treasurer's office and Kate Ratchford, comptroller's office, secretary and as- sistant secretary; Adele Heilman, treasurer's office, treasurer. In order to place some money in the treasury, the girls voted unanimously to give a boat trip on the Steamer St. Paul within the space of a week or so, and authorized the president to make all arrangements and each girl pledged her aid in sell- ing tickets. Miss Connor announced that there would be three prizes given, one for the best name for the club, a second one for the best motto, and a third one for the best song. The meeting adjourned promptly at 1:20 p. m. enabling the girls to re- turn to their desks by 1:30 p. m. A meeting was held in the office of E. H. Bnnnell, comptroller St. Louis, on May 25. Officers under the direct supervision of Mr. Bunnell and also officers from the various departments were in attendance. In his address to those assembled, Mr. Bunnell said, in part: "We have rothiiig to sell but transportation. It must come by solicitation or by gen. era1 advertising, so if we can keep before the public to 'Ship via Frisco' and 'Travel via Frisco,' it will be. come impressed on the public mind, and increased business will follow and continue to grow when satisfled patrons pass the news along."
