Miss Dorothy Knapp was faculty adviser of the Senior G. R., and Margaret Wood served as president. Miss Rhoda Fredricey sponsored the Junior G. R., and Berla Beems was elected president. Other cabinet officers in the senior club were Marjorie Rings, vice-president, Mildred Flynn, secretary, Mary Margaret Kerr, ucasurerg and Edith Fletcher, Doris Lyon, Lois Sharp, Dorothy Nickels, Thelma Faulkender, and Vada Johnson, who served as chairmen OI the various committees. Each division is directed by the sponsor and a president with the assistance of a student cabinet appointed by the president. The president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer are elected by the members of the group before the close of the school year. As a means of bettering the finances of the club, the finance committee sponsored a candy sale and a silver tea. When the new high school was opened and ready for use, the G. R. furnished the girls' rest room with attractive and comfortable furniture. As a further measure of showing their interest and willingness to support the school, they purchased the sweater which is to be used for the head cheer leader of the school. The G. R. winter conference at Hiawatha was attended by six Holton representatives this year. Y4--M4?'i1TU5 HmW ang 1 9 3 2 iigivmmmrimillli PAGE 20

The junior club members sold pop corn balls at both football and basket ball games.
