PCRESENTING THE ERODELPHIANS Humming is the word that describes our Erodelphian all-girl honor society. By September 31, they had already elected their first semester officers: Marian Dinger, president: Avis Pan- ula, vice-president: Margaret Johnson, critic: Mavis Alto. secretary: Anne Robnik, treasurer, and Harriet Helming, sergeant-at-arms. To make sure that our Ero girls always look their very best, Mrs. Helen Pellikka demonstrated the proper care of the hair and the skin at the November 4 meeting. Then came the annual Christmas party: and with it. the pleasure of dancing to the syncopated piano-tinklings of Mr. H. S. 1Browniel Hanson. After the strain of semester exams was over, came the Valentine Ero Ball, but it will take the whole page to tell you about that. Next on the docket was the election of second semester officers: Hilda Hill, president: Catherine Dosen, vice- president: Barbara Roels, critic: Helena Nummela, secretary, Marianne Vidmar, treasurerg and Patricia Auble, ser- geant-at-arms. But there's so much more to know about this all-girl organization, just go right on the the next page. Top Picture Top row: Hudy, Giffei, Helming, Aho, E. Anderson, Eddy, Aarni, Kotchevar, Borst.

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.

X 69 O HEARTS AND FLOWERS At Chisholm's first homecoming on October 17, the Ero girls were there, to be sure, marching along with the other school clubs in the pre-game parade. The banner they carried bore the date of the founding of their or- ganization, 1915. That means the Ero club is the oldest society in our school. Above is a picture of a few of the girls just before they set out. Left to right, they are Hilda Hill, Marianne Vidmar, Gloria Cox, Ann Robnik, Mar- ian Dinger, Jacqueline Williams, and Catherine Dosen. Another big event at the C. H. S. was the Ero Ball. This year, it fell exactly on Valentine's Day. Now just guess what the decorations were. Yes, hearts! Big hearts, little hearts, and middle-sized hearts, a red and white galaxy, hung and swayed from the ceiling. Around the walls were Dan Cupids shooting arrows, and when I saw all the girls decked out in their formals, I knew Blind Dan had hit once or twice with his darts. I really don't know much about girls' clothesg but I do know enough to say that they really looked super . There were lots of those thin, filmy, airy dresses that looked like floating clouds, and there were those swishy ones that rustled like dry leaves. The girls wore corsages, too-roses, gardenias, and even a few orchids. The high-spot of the evening was the Grand March. Marian Dinger, first semester Erodelphian president, and Alan Humphreysg Mary Krause and Ward Kellowg Lauretta Eddy and Robert Mueller: and Margaret Hernesman and John Sleconich led us .through the complicated promenade. We danced to the sweet and smooth, low and dreamy harmonies of the Rhythm Knights . That was a night we'll never forget. We really appreciated the work of the Ero girls which made their party such a gorgeous affair. C CW? 33
