P. G.’s P. G. Activities In September 1934. a group of five post- graduates was organized in a Publicity Class to edit school news columns in The Bolivar Breeze The name, Purple Quill was given to the paper which was published regularly each week through- out the year. The staff also assisted in prepar- ing this handbook. During the year of 1934-35 the school office clerical work has been in charge of Isobel Hurd, post graduate. She has had full responsibility being assisted by regular commercial and other post graduate students including Kenneth Maxson. Alice Bunt. Phyllis Leonard, and Bessie Milliman. Graduate students often have the feeling of being left out of things.” Votes from the seventh, eighth grades, and high school for the officers of the Dramatic Club for 1934 and 1935, tended to bring a warm welcome to the post graduates. Elmer Wilkins was chosen presi- dent; Phyllis Leonard, vice president, and Eloise Jacox, secretary and treasurer. As for the part played by the post graduates in the noon-hour leagues, it is found that they have performed in the capacities of coach, referee, and player. Ken Maxson acted as coach of the “Athletics and as referee for the other games when his team was not playing. Later this work was taken over by Crandall Cowles. Elmer Wil- kins played center for the Yankees. Girls noticeable in this athletic capacity were Bessie Milliman. Eloise Jacox. and Isobel Hurd. To complete the participation of the P. G.’s in various departments. Eloise Jacox acted as drum major for the school band and Alice Bunt had charge of the distribution of milk to the under- nourished and needy children. [26]
