They seem so engrossed in their experiments that they do not realize the constant streams of water. SHOP This young gent is running up a wood bill, making his credit in shop, and satisfying an urge to cut up, all at the same time. ART ROOM When the first call goes out for paint daubers, young aspiring Rembrandts come forth; the result is a formidable array of posters, impressionistic paintings, and stage sets. SENIOR HIGH COUNCIL The guiding hand of student activities met in its regular session— Mayor Choate presiding. Football, basketball, and all school parties with admittance by the new activity ticket had their origin here. This year's cheerleaders were decked out in new uniforms. Publicity and social chairmen, Charlotte Baker and Anne Belshaw, had much to do with the success of the C. C. C. The Footboll Banquet, Honor Banquet, and the All School Play, Stephen Foster , were included in their many activities. 'Tis a serious job for all concerned! DEBATE Reading, discussing, speaking, and nerves are all included in the debaters' routine. The squad composed of Clair Irish, Art Crowell, Mary Clark, Ella Sanborn, Malcolm Parsons, and Leslie Lewis— under the guidance of Miss Clark —spent many a laborious though educational hour in preparing for the four scheduled debates. Much worthwhile experience was gained in delving into the mighty question, Resolved: that the several states should adopt a unicameral form of legislature. GIRLS' LEAGUE In organizing the girls in high school into a united group and providing worthwhile activities, the League serves a valuable purpose. Tea dances do a good job of furthering acquaintances. Discussions quickly dispel the clouds of weighty problems. The League room has grown from an innovation into a successful project this year. A new group of songs is the result of a song contest. The seniors ana outstanding girls were honored at the closing event—the June Banquet. Much credit is due Anne Belshaw and her board for having made the League both popular and profitable. WHERE 20 BODY AND JUNIOR HIGH COUNCIL With Mayor Charles Cooper presiding, and ably assisted by Treasurer Shirley Vining and Secretary Virgilene Bowerman, the Junior High Council meets to solve the difficult problems in the government of Junior High. Those seemingly paying attention are: Curtis Bradley, Jacqueline Irish, Mary Wakefield, Mary Charlotte Vining, Phyllis Tower, Roger Ran-ney, Dorothy Sue Edsall, and Lorraine Hansen. Miss White is adviser. i F. F. A. The rustics get off to a successful start with a group of luminaries in its executive rostrum. With none other than Sneed Nelson at the head, able assistance came from the executive board— Keith King, vice-president, Secretary, Ronald Christensen; Treasurer, Earl Moore; Reporter Bob Sowerby; adviser Mr. Phafler. One of the biggest school events of the year is the annual F. F. A. School Fair. The gym becomes a 5cene resplendent with color and agog with the buzz of activity. Exhibits from every department including the barnyard and many a garden fill ever available space. The year reaches its culmination with the annual Father and Son Banquet. JUDGING Sober as judges applies to these young men in the agricultural department as they interpret the laws of definite proportion in livestock. MIND C O O R D I N AT E 21 ORCHESTRA BAND BAND Bedecked in their new purple and gold uniforms this organization, under the baton of Mr. Robbins, set a new high in Greenville's musical career in their popularly attended concerts. The executives of the organization were: President, Bill Dane; Secretary, Arvin Irish; Business Manager, Robert Kipp. ORCHESTRA Excellent music reverberated from strings and brass of this capable group in the school assemblies, the All School play, the Senior play, and several civic programs. The officers chosen for this year were: President, Bill Eastman; Secretary-Treasurer, Marian Blanding. MUSIC HAT 22 GLEE CLUB TRIO GLEE CLUB Young voices, under the direction of Miss Wolfe, were trained vigorously and with a purpose; their efforts were well rewarded in several concerts. TRIO Music from three sources produced harmony to the satisfaction of all. Triune from left to right are: Annetta Gibson, Lucille Hamblin, Maxine Benedict. Accompanist, Evelyn Copeland. 23 H CHARMS HI LIFE STA Parkinson Choate Wright Anderson Rhoades Eriksen Jones Nelson Nielsen Bird Card Gruschinsky STAFF ............................Betty Nielsen ..............................Sue Wright ...............- - - - Janet Rhoades ...........................Don Choate ...........................Alfred Card ...........................Erma Eriksen - Leslie Lewis ...........................Robert Nelson ........................Barbara Anderson Bette Bird, Elizabeth Gruschinsky, Lois Jones Miss Sellers, Miss Meyers Editor-in-Chief -Assistant Editor Photography -Art - - - Humor - - .

As the Clock Strikes provided many an opportunity for Butler Lewis and Actress Marge to put it over . Not to be forgotten, also, was the All-school play. Stephen Foster with Don Choate and Charlotte Baker taking the stellar roles. A fine job by all is our comment. Party ho! Let's Eat! Hail! the King and Queen Grand! hardly describes the best C.C.C. ever known at G.H.S. You just had to be there to realize what a wonderful evening it was. Sundaes, hot-dogs, roller skating, fun house, and chance games quickly drew evory penny in sight. Laughter, whistles, and music left no solemn moment for pensive thoughts. Dancing around the Maypole' . . . stopping for prize announcements . . . coronating the King and Queen . . . then on to dancing again kept all hands on deck ’til closing time. Three cheers for the Carnival! 25 IN ACTION LIBRARY These young intellectuals are delving in the dusty manuscripts of Greenville High School Library. Most popular manuscript: Boys Life. COOKERY The results of these culinary endeavors pervade the upper halls on many a day, tantalizing students with tempting odors. SEWING ROOM Baste, sew, rip, tuck! The droning of machines in tune with much chatter portends future sewing circles. With only five returning lettermen Coach Reynolds started the task of molding a powerful Greenville eleven. After three weeks of strenuous practice the purple and gold were ready for a tough schedule. The Greenvillites, led by Captain Dave Mer-ren, dropped a close one to Lowell by a 6 to 0 score. The game cost the locals the services of Captain Merren. The Alma eleven proved much too strong and won out 28 to 6. In the Belding dust bowl the silk city eleven blew dust in the locals' eyes by the tune of 26 to 0. The heavier oilers carried the flag home in a 13 to 0 victory. The purple and gold broke a 6 year jinx with the Cardinals and won 7 to 0. Don Burgess raced 60 yards for the counter on the ancient sleeper play. The Fremont packers swept the locals aside and emerged with 2 I to 0 triumph. With the Refrigerator eleven leading most of the way, the Hasting gridders came up with a 20 to 18 victory. In the annual Armistice game the locals won for the fifth consecutive year to the score of 7 to 6. Jack Pearl climaxed the game with a 67-yard run. Returning lettermen are: Lester Patten, Bill Daane, Toby Ingraham, Don Burgess, Dale Burgess, Burt Becker, Jack Pearly, Junie Failing, Don Martin, Charles Johnson, Francis Rich, Art Holland, Robert Shoemaker, and Varian Bauman. 28 COACH REYNOLDS CAPTAIN MERREN D R o N SIX BE CONFERENCE Won Lost Percentage Fremont 3 0 1.000 Midland 4 0 1.000 Alma 3 2 .600 Mt.
