INTRODUCING THE GERMAN CLUB Since I last wrote, the German club has chang- ed a great deal. It has grown from a mere hand- ful of students to one of the largest, most active clubs in school. Few of us will ever forget the initiation of last fall. Each initiate performed a stunt, planned by the upper classmen, which provided a great deal of amusement for the spectators. However, trouble befell the organization. Lack of fa, guide for the club's policies led to much cfm- fusion and dissension. Finally, a committee draft- ed a constitution which was ratified by all mem- bers. One of the club's biggest functions is their 'traditional Christmas celebration. After a short program of musical numbers and plays, the group danced and played games in the gymnasium. I took several pictures which I'm enclosing. Above: Wallace Ruosch and Lauretta Eddy use the Ouija Board to foretell the future while May Ann Barke and Robert Regis look on.

WE HAD A HOMECOMING for the first time in our school's history, on Oct. 17. The festivities began with a pep meeting at three o'clock in the afternoon. The parade beginning at six-thirty, ended at the athletic park. Queen Mild- red Paskvan, attended by her ladies-in-waiting, Elizabeth Walsh, Florence Peterson, Celia Vuka- clinovich, and Dorothy Kotchevarv was crowned just before the Chisholm-Greenway football battle. There was a dance in the school gym after the game. Everyone took part. The German Club, at left sang lieder and danced. RANGER Staff members, ready for the parade, below, pub- lished the largest school paper ever, a seven- teen page homecoming BLUE STREAK. The Hi-Y boys decorated the Queen's float which you can see at the bottom of the page. Yes, siree, we'll always remember this homecoming. .. ,. F 29

AND THE HI-Y AND lNATiDNAL HONOR The Hi-Y boys were the ones who started the social activities at Chisholm High rolling by sponsoring the first mixer in September. At the Hallowe'en Dance, complete with orange and black decorations, and Jack-o-lanterns, they kept up the pace they had begun. Then finally, they rounded out the season with a Last Chance Dance on May 2. The Hi-Y club, which was organized to promote high standards of fellowship and cooperation, elects its mem- bers for their popularity and athletic ability. Those who survive the strenuous, vigorous initiation are admitted to the group. Mr. Victor Hackbarth was Hi-Y adviser this year. Officers were Matt Sucich, president: Edward Tekautz, vice-president: Nick Dragisich, treasurer: and Jack Krause, secretary. In the top picture are several of the mem- bers. You have probably heard about the National Honor Society for the organization has chapters throughout thc United States. To be eligible for membership, a student must rank in the upper third of his class and be rated high in character, leadership, and fservice. The fifteen per cent of a graduating class who rate highest in these combined requirements is elected. lt is well worth striving for the privilege of wearing the emblem of National Honor. Membership lasts for life, not only during high school years. Below, you see twenty-six of the twenty-eight seniors elected to the society this year.
