X X ' MX- In a world of economic and social uncertainties, it is worth our while to remember that the old virtues of cout- EN age, loyalty, and stability remain constant. 4 The fact that we will live the future only as we use the present makes each passing moment exceedingly valuable. You will be compelled to take your life as it is-you can't go back and live over again the time that is past. Act definitely toward something worthwhile. The person who seems more capable than you is he who has made better use of the present moments allotted to him. It requires energy, good will, imagination, and initiative to build a successful life. , QQQM, ,J x , . K .f ,- 'i 5 , if '

Koppenlraefer SERVICE GROUPS Girl Reserves-Girl Reserves at Hughes foster friendship, and endeavor to serve both the school and those less fortunate. The programs of the general monthly meetings are both serious and frivolous. The squads, smaller groups, meet frequently, in committee, for hikes or parties. Throughout the year Girl Reserve activities olier a varied fare of fun, work, and responsibility. - -Helen Taugeman The Honor League-The Honor League serves as a great unifying force among the senior girls who serve as Freshies' Aids, Big Sisters to the freshman girls, Aids at the Information Desk, and wherever needed. By discussions, talks, and little plays, they try to learn the meaning of service and friendship. -M. Iulin Berzrlcy To do the thing l know is true And should not be ashamed to do. To try to make some other see The thing that so appeals to me. A Hughes Club--Hughes Club originated from the local Hi-Y Club in 1920. lt is essentially a Hughes organization which strives to improve and develop the younger classmen into more self-confident Seniors. The club membership is open only to Seniors and Iuniors who are in good standing scholastically and whose conduct is satisfactory. The aim of the club is to maintain Hughes ideals and traditions, and to improve conditions of school life. --Elmer W. Kizer Pep and Ginger Girl Reserves-The Pep and Ginger Club has had as its main outside project this year the assisting of the Girl Reserves in the adoption of Peaslee School for social work. Opportunities have been afforded through squad activities to contribute to student aid at Hughes and to help all girls, especially Freshmen, to adjust themselves to high school life. -Elizabeth C. Hngemeyer Hi-Y-Hi-Y was organized to give an opportunity for discussion of problems of living. Meetings are conducted in a serious, dignified manner. To connect discussions with religious life, visits are made to churches of various denom- inations. For the sake of good fellowship, social affairs are added to the program. p -C. E. Lee LANGUAGE GROUPS Creative Writing Csctibbletsj-The Scribblers-neither a class nor a club-is probably best described as a group held together by a common interest in writing. The members, drawn from the three upper classes, feel a double responsibility, to give constructive criticism to others and to present a reasonable amount of original writing. The chief aim is to stimulate interest in creative work, and to offer an opportunity for enjoying the exchange of ideas. -Bertlm Euanr Ward French Club C Le Cetcle F rancaisj-The French Club provides the opportunity for students especially inter- ested in French to use and enjoy it outside of the classroom. The meetings conducted in French, where French songs are sung, French games are played, French plays are presented, and French lectures heard, give added impetus to the desire to master the language studied. -Louise E. Bentley German Club fTeuf011iaj-German Club affords the opportunity of recreation for those pupils who desire a more intimate acquaintance with the people of Germany, their language, their customs, and habits, and with the country itself. This activity may express itself in the form of music, of declamation, of games, and of simple plays. --Erich Bergman Latin Club CSocietas Latinaj-The Latin Club was organized to show that there are many phases of Latin not taught in the classroom. By talks on Roman civilization, customs, and manners, or on some recent archaeologi- cal excavation, by clever little Latin plays, by Latin songs, by games, conundrums, and cross-word puzzles, the club combines the useful with the delightful - utile cum dulci. . -M. lulia Bentley Spanfsll Club CLa Tettuliaj-La Tertulia offers to all pupils in Spanish classes or to pupils who have com- pleted three years of Spanish an opportunity for a more informal acquaintance than classroom work affords with vari- ous phases of Spanish life as well as language, through the use of songs, plays, games, and occasional addresses con- cerning Spanish speaking countries. --Hclen M.
