30 THE VIEWPOINT-l935-36 Viewpoint . . . The staff this year was appoint- ed by the senior class officers under the direction of the two sponsors, Mrs. Bergman and Mr. Human. Contacts were made at once with various publishers, who were asked to submit their bids, After due consideration the selec- tions were made as follows: Pub- lisher, Capital Engravingg Print-- er, H. A. Nickel, College View and Group Photography, B. L. Morse, also of this community, This having been done the edi- tors began planning and arrang- ing, Meanwhile group and indi- vidual pictures were taken. Also an extensive advertising campaign was carried on by the publicity department. Incidentaily the absence of the usual box ads is due to another in- ovation in annual policies. The Business lVIen's Club of College View were very generous in back-- ill Julius Hulnu in ing the Viewpoint to the limit, This was due largely to the untir- ing efforts of Mr. Julius Humann, who spent much of his valuable time in convincing these mer- chants of the practicability of the new plan. Under this, instead of running the usual ads, the-y agreed amount of to invest a certain capital in return for which they received advertisement in the book community and throughout the as well as the support of the stu- dents and their parents. To continue the train of events, I turn again to the editors who rext made the assignments of ar- ticles to the various reporters, who in turn gave their completed mast- erpieces VIJ to the typists. Then back to the editors to be exam- ined fha, you got fooled, you though I was going to say editedJ. So, on to the linotypist. Meanwhile the business man- ager was having nightmares over the abundant Q75 funds rolling into the Viewpoint coffers. The thermometers in the library jig- gled uncertainly as each class strove to outdistance its rivals in payments falso threatening to break the business manager's neck if their thermometer was below another classj.

Their work has added a flavor to this annual be- cause they wrote from their view point of the subjects. We wish to take this opportunity to thank them for their zealous efforts in producing these manuscripts. On the whole, we of the staff feel that a lot of valuable experi- ence has been gained ty this work and appreciate the fact that while it was a great responsibility, it was also an opportunity such as should not be lightly turned aside. We hope that it has proved a worth while project and that you will enjoy reading it as much as we did creating it. Hrs, Annu lfl'l'lLIIll2ll'l TOP ROW 4LefL to

32 THE V1EwPo1NT-1935-36 The Girl Reserves. . The Radio was chosen as the theme to be carried out this year in the Girl Reserves organization. The officers were Lois McGee, president, Freda Theis, vice-pre-si- dent: Leona Brant, secretary, Irene Henson, treasurer. In harmony with the city-wide program, general meetings were held the third Monday of each month. At the first meeting, the Girl Reserve code and quest were read and explained to the sopho- more girls in order that they might have a better understand- ing of what G. R. stands for. The outstanding speakers of the year were Miss Bush Perkins, Mrs. C. Petrus Pedersen and Miss Min- tere. The social activities started witl a party at the Y. W. C. A. on Oc- tober 7, welcoming all girls who were not as yet members of the club. The party proved to be quite a novelty with the old mem- bers, attired in me-n's clothing, es- corting the sophomore girls as their dates. Prizes were awarded to the best dressed couples. A Thanksgiving party in late November was held at the home of Lois McGee. A short program was furnished and the rest of the evening was spent in playing games. Pumpkin pie- and coffee were the refreshments. Another outstanding event in November was the annual date ll TOP ROW 4Left to right!-eLawrence, S. Brant, Hergert, Eddy, Hooper, Pedersen, Lundwall.

Doc Cook's orchestra furnished the music for dancing in the Gym while games were played in the clubrooms. The party ended with refreshments served in the recrea- tion room. Every year during Valentine week, the Girl Reserves have Heart Sisters. However, since the theme this year was The Radio, they were called Har- mony Sisters . During the week gifts were exchanged among the girls. At the end of the week a Va'ien'tine party was held at the Y. W, C. A. where the girls dis- covered whom their Harmony Sis- ters had been. The All Sports Banquet, spon- sored by the Girl Re-serves and Hi-Y, was held March 21 at the Union Church. Our program com- mittee was in charge of the dec- orations and menu. The theme for the joint Hi-Y- Girl Reserve conference, April 3 and 4, was Christian Youth Build- ing a New World . The confer- ence started with a party Friday night consisting of a program, group games and dancing. A worship program, led by Rev. Rob- ert Henry, started the next morn- ing off. Rev. Ray McConnel gave the message, Youth Matching An Hour Like This . After the de- votionals, group discussions were held until noon. Lunch was serv- ed at the Y. M, C, A, followed by a panel discussion. Group discus- sions coninued all afternoon. Mrs. A. L. Smith gave an address at the banquet Saturday evening which closed the coneference. The dad-daughter date party was he-ld April 22 at the Y. W. C. A. After a short program games were played. The refresh- ments consisted of pie a la mode and coffee.
