CGMMERCIAL Commercial Clubfflne ol' the best- linown clubs at VVashburn is the Coin- mercial Club. which boasts of the larg- est membership outside of U.C. and Girl Reseryes. To be a member of this club, you must be taking at least two commercial subjects and be willing to attend meetings regularly. The ad- visers of the club are Miss Edith Thompson, Miss Dorothy Nash, and Miss Dorothy Stevenson. The fall semester found the Com- mercial Club concentrating their thoughts on a yery interesting subject gour allies. Each meeting was de- yoted to a certain country that is close- ly connected with the United States. llighlighting these meetings were talks given by members of the faculty on subjects which they are well ac- quainted. Mr. Dudley Parsons spoke on lndia and Miss Margaret Tupper on South America. The lanuary Fare- well Tea had America as its theme and naturally turned out yery success- ully. Otlicers for the liall semester were .Xthena Callas. president: Donna Nord. 1. rice president: lilanche Rice. secretary: .Xrmine lloyjohn. treasurer: lieyerly Coash, publicity: and Mary Sweeney, membership The spring cabinet decided that lfuture secretaries ol' .Xmerica would prolit by being shown the right and wrong in the business world. and therefore, the theme chosen was Busi- ness lftiqtiettef' At the same time, they decided a little instruction in social etiquette would be appropriate. This plan was liollowed by a Mothers' and Daughters' Tea. which was held during April. They also excluded etiquette from their program for one day when they had their spring picnic oyer at Minnehaha lfalls. inercial: Miss Srixi-xsoy. Miss Tiioxnf- sow.

RADAR The boys who took physics and math found quick and practical use for the courses when they took the Radar tests. Now that most of the war is confined to the South Pacific: Radar training has a high priority. RA1JAIi+IiHUlSOH, Parks. Chief Petty Officer Campbell, Guderian. Larson. Burns, Hatch, lfrohhach, The xitllj' is fU't'ffj' Cilgrz' . , BOOKS Library Board. This group probably does more and gets less credit for its work than any other group in the school. XYithout them, Miss Brown would not be able to run the library as efficiently as it is now. The members of course check hooks in and out and collect fines. but there is a lot more. Their duties include making signs, put- ting up posters. supplying teachers with books, taking passes, helping keep thc library in order. shelving books. filing. bringing passes to study halls, taking attendance. helping stu- dents find books, and making out over- due slips. These are. of course, not all of the duties of the library board. but it shows how important the board is to all of us. They answer any questions we might ask. and when we are in for a hook we have to report on the next day. they always help us find an easy one. They know where everything is. which believe mc. really is something. The members take care of all the maga- zines that come in, the display cases in the library, and last but not least, the rubber plant in the corner. All in all, the hoard does a good job: we should all be proud of them. Liisicaiu' BOARD-Row One: Helmick, liustis, Miss llrown. Raihle. Ilahl. Row Two: Mueller, Hendel. lioyjohn. Mattson.

Miss HINIKLR, Miss Goomz Food: and Fancier HOME ECONOMICS Take one bowl. one egg, ten cups of sugar tif you can't find any sugar. salt looks about the samej, and mix to- gether well. VVhen it starts to harden, pour in a tablespoon full of lubricating oil and stir till the spoon breaks again. Then put in oven at 387 and hope and pray the oven doesn't blow up. Hey! How did I get that recipe in my cooking book? Seriously. though. in cooking under the supervision of Miss Hinicker. the girls learn about the body. Then they learn about the different foods and their values in them. They also can seasonal fruits and vegetables. This class also prepares food occasionally for the lunch room and for the faculty. The girls also learn the proper setting of the table and the correct way to serve a formal dinner. ln Miss Myra Coodfs sewing classes the girls learn several things other than sewing. They study interior decorating and effective color schemes in the room. They also learn something about etiquette. They learn how to write for- mal invitations. how to dress for dif- ferent occasions, the correct way of in- troducing peoplc and other courtesies worth knowing. The girls learn the technique of making their own clothes. .Xt first they learn how to readiust a pattern to fit them perfectly. Then they become familiar with the materials on the market. their price. their wearabil- ity. and composition. From these materials they make first of all, simple dresses, then suits, and later more difficult pieces of clothing. 29
