began. The girl* call It a
"Truth Court” and the
term is accurate. There ara
no secret* among the girls;
frankness la called for and ia
received.
Each girl had a change to
talk, and each In turn was
talked to.
The comments would range
from, “Mary, we think you’re
too shy,” to “Jane, you said
something the other day
which hurt one of the girls.”
And what la the purpose of
a Truth Court?
"Well, it Just helps to bring
us closer together.” explained
10-year-old Betty Prioe. "We
hold ndthlng back. Wa
might comment on the kind
of clothes a girl wears, or her
hair stele —tilings like that.
But It Isn’t just the bad
points; we cover the good
points the constructive
points—too.”
"It’s not at all cruel, or
anything like that." added
Toni House, 10, at whose Wes
ley Heights home the meeting
was held. “Really, you'd be
surprised to see how It helps
each one of us.”
The Truth Courts are held
two or three times a year, or
whenever the girls feel they
have a problem which needs
discussing. The one last week

end was the first for the new
school year. It lasted until
after S am.
As one can expect, the girls
strongly favor sororities.
“At Wilson High,” said
Libby Williamson, “there are
many sororities. It’s a large
school and without sororities
It might be hard to have ae
many friends. But with a
sorority we can have more
fun.”
Betty Price commented
that tha principal function
of the sorority is Air social
activities. They hold regu
lar meetings and collect dues.
“Most of ths money from
dues goes toward buying food
for Tush’ parties, or for buy
ing sorority pins and sweat
ier*,” Betty explained.
The girls are quick to point
out. however, that their ac
tivities are not limited: They
collect food for needy chil
dren and hold drives Urn
Junior Village.
After the truth court the
girls began their shunter
party, which lasted, accord
ing to Betty Price, until about
4:30 am.
But for six girls the party
never ended; at 0 am. they
changed from pajamas te
Bermudas and sweaters and
went walking down nearby
Foxhall road.
