The Service Club was organized in 1938. This is the student governing body of Jordan High School. It consists of an elected representative from each home-room and each student club in the school. In case the representative is ab- sent an alternate is appointed. The offi- cers are selected from the members of the club. The activities of the Service Club this year have been chiefly connected with National Defense. In the early part of December, the Service Club backed a campaign to make Jordan the first school in the United States to be one hundred per cent in the purchase of defense stamps. This was accomplished in less than an hour after the appeal was made. After the beginning of the war, the Ser- vice Club initiated a campaign to collect waste paper. It also made a contribution to the Red Cross. The activities sponsored by the club for the school this year included a dance and a Stunt night to raise money for the band.

Th SENIOR When we came up from Junior High, we entered a school where there was time for both work and play. It was all a deep, dark mys- tery to us, so were all the outrageous pranks the Juniors and Seniors had in store. They didn't allow our ig- norance to be bliss for long. During our freshman year, chapel was held outside at the south end of the building. And in the meantime a mircle was happening-the people of Columbus were buying bonds to build us an auditorium and gymnasi- um. We learned to appreciate these additions and have tried to the ut- most to keep them new. The Service Club purchased a nickelodion and placed it on the au- ditorium stage so that the girls were given the opportunity of dancing in their extra time and during lunch periods. The School Board employ- ed an instructor of physical educa- tion for girls. A short while later, tennis courts were made behind the CLASS building. The expanded recreational program afforded us jolly times with volleyball, folk dancing, and other sports. When we were dignified Juniors, the electrical shop boys installed our inter-communication system. During our daily chapel period, a bugle was sounded and the entire student body stood, pledged allegiance to the flag of the United States, listened to a scripture reading, and repeated the Lord's prayer. The intercommunica- tion system also enabled us to take part in radio plays. This year a band has been or- ganized. Thanks to the Junior Cham- ber of Commerce, our merchants, and School Board, we have numerous in- struments and a special instructor. Now, as we go out into the bus- iness world, we, the Seniors of '42, wish to extend to the faculty of our Ala Mater our heart-felt thanks for the inspiration and training they have given us.
