(Revenue WUet A One HAnit The Girl Reserves this year were organized as one joint body with just one set of officers for the whole group. Last year they were divided into two groups, the Ju- nior-Senior and the Freshman-Sophomore organizations. The formal induction is held in February, when all new members come into the club, if they have earned the required number of points. Meetings were conducted at the first of the year once every two weeks during the morning study period. When morning gym classes w-ere instituted, however, many of the members could not attend, so the meeting time was changed to four o ' clock every other Tuesday afternoon. Among the social activities this year were the joint production of the annual freshman party with the Hi-Y, and a Christmas party. 28

i, (Papen nnua The Vatpost, published bi-weekly by the advanced journalism class under the supervision of Mrs. Emma R. Foor, was edited this year by a staff of eight members in the first se- mester, and eight again in the second. Each of these groups were trained in the princi- ples of journalism in the previous semester. The fall staff ' s first duty was to sell advertisements and solicit subscriptions to fi- nance the publication. The cost runs close to $700 for the sixteen issues put out by both fall and spring- staffs. Although the printing is done by a local printer, the students do all the proof reading, copy read- ing, and all the other me- chanics of journalism. The Valpost belongs to the International Quill and Scroll, The National Scho- lastic Press Association and the Indiana High School Press Association, and consistently has been awarded first class honor rating. The staff covers as com- pletely as it can, all phases of high school activity. Beginning at the top we see the following: Paul Specht, Art Editor; Mary Thrun, Harriet Arnold, Check Stories; Class folds papers; Mrs. Foor, sponsor; makes assignments. Heads lines in the making Valpost taken over by student teacher. Class gets paper ready for press. w I IB ' ' ' ;:::: I k

Q. R. WonM-WidL The Girl Reserves, a branch of the Y. W. C. A., is an old and far reaching organization. Branches of this group are found not only throughout all of the forty-eight states, but also in such foreign countries as China, Australia, and France. Much can be accomplished through this group in the line of cementing closer bonds of friendship between the United States and other nations of the world when the war is over. The Girl Reserves is one of the two service clubs in the school and is organized for service and religious purposes. GIRL RESERVE OFFICERS Row 1, top: Miss Shauer, Miss Miller, Miss Shelquist, sponsors. Row 2: Caryl Lofquist, scribe; Marjorie Crosby, program chairman; Mary Nolan, president; Wilma Berkey, vice- president. Row 3: Harriet Arnold, secretary; Betty Frazier, treas- urer. Points are awarded in this group for attending church, Sunday School, young people ' s organizations, visiting the sick, helping the needy, being on the honor roll, being an officer in organiza- tions, and participating in programs. These points go toward earning sweaters and chevrons by the Junior and Senior Girl Reserves. One of the service activities which the girls participated in was the selling of Christmas seals down town each Saturday. This was done without profit to the organization during the one of the coldest parts of the year, the Christmas vaca- tion. Mary Nolan, president, presides over a ular Monday morning club meeting. Many of the members offered their services in their spare board to help out in the rush shortly after rationing began. Last year the Girl Reserves in their two groups had only two leaders, Miss Audrey Shauer, junior-senior sponsor, and Miss Olie Welty, freshman-sopho- more sponsor. This year when the group merged into one large organiza- tion three sponsors were , appointed Miss Audrey Shauer, Miss Helen Mil- ler, and Miss Mabel Shelquist, new in- structor in the high school. The annual district conference was held this year in South Bend on Feb- ruary 6. Miss Shelquist and eight girls attended this meeting. time at the ration reg- 29
