HISTORY One of the finest assembly programs this year was the play. The First Thanks- giving Dayu prepared by Miss Kncvels and the club members, with the assistance of her United States history classes. The costumes and staging of this reproduction of the Pilgrims' first Thanksgiving dinner were deserving of high praise. Opportunity to hear many interesting talks on historic. political, and social sub- jects was given during club hours. Among these were customs of France. Spanish politics. the Riviera. and Stone Henge. Mrs. Elijah Poxson was one of the speakers, taking as her subject The Rise of Man. Fourth Row: Butler. Hilliard. Mackey, Graham. Gunn.

Ross GIRL RESERVES To face life squarely , is the connnand of the Girl Reserves Club and clearly illustrates the purpose underlying every activity participated in by the members. Congeniality reigns supreme and enables the girls to accomplish their objectives of each semester: to promote friendship not only in the club but also in school, to sponsor service activities by preparing Christmas baskets. and to develop the girls not only physically but morally. Discussions are a prominent feature of the meet- ings and in order to touch upon a subject interesting to each individual. many topics including books. travel. art. nnlsic. drama. and character are discussed. The members of this Girl Reserves Club enjoyed a splash party at the pool, a wiener roast. a Christmas dinner. and a skating party. For the tirst time, the club was divided into many committees and this created a greater interest among the members as well as placed a lesser share of the respon- sibility on the sponsor.

Their purpose is to understand more fully the methods of travel and encourage the desire for it. Miss Lois Manning who is herself a frequent visitor of distant places spon- sors the activities and helps the members obtain a world outlook.

DANCING CLUB Originality marks the work of the Dancing Club. for it is an interesting fact that all the dances used by the girls in their various performances were written by them in the club and later taught to them by their instructor, Miss Kalchthalcr. Cooperating with the Tumbling Club they put on an assembly program: they took charge of all dances for thc school circus and presented a program before the Girls' League. Fourth Row: E. Ililliard.

Several members of the former group made their dramatic debut with the presentation of Neighbors by Zone Gale before an assembly audience. The regular meetings were varied by pantomimes. discussions. radio programs, and the reading of one act plays. On March 15 with the sudden death of Gregory Halpin the club was deprived of one of its most active and interested members. Fourth Row: Seymour. Page. Lake, Lowe. Peterson. G. Halpin. C.
