Girls, Conservation Club The Girls' Conservation Club of Washington High School, believed to be the only active girls' club in Ohio, was formed April 1, 1940. It consists of 22 members and our very able adviser, Miss Janet Allen. Some of the activities are as fol- lows: The exhibit at the County Fair this year, the feeding stations maintained by the club, luncheon meetings, game supper with the boys, club, reports, a chapel pro- gram for the student body, and many other things. Boys, Conservation Club The fight for conservation of all natural resources is being carried on. For this purpose the Washing- ton High School Conservation Club was formed in 1939. Their program consisted of build- ing wild life shelters and keeping these stacked with foodg such as, wheat, soy beans, and corn. Also in time of drought the members of the club formed parties to serve and rescue dying fish. These fish were transferred to different streams where there was always a constant supply of water. Art Club The Art Club, a comparatively young organization, got under way for its third successive year with the election of officers. Those chosen were: Ann Robinson, presi- dent, Judith Paul, vice-presidentg Evelyna Long, secretary, John An- derson, treasurer, Gloria Hoppess, news reporter. The main event of the year for the club was the win- ning of first prize by the float they designed and decorated for the high school in the Christmas parade.

Junior Class Histor The houselights are lowered, a hush settles over the audience, and the curtain rises. The drama of the progress of the class of 43 has begun. The actors and actresses are but freshmen, who will make history in the first act. The director for this first act is Miss Margaret Schneider, who has coached the 160 students with great success. The assistant directors are: .Ioan Wilson, presidentg Fern Wilson, vice-president, and Dave Ellies, secretary-treasurer. After the curtain rises we see the outstanding freshman athletes and the large number of those musically-minded as shown by their membership in the band, orches-tra, and glee club. The Seniors were forced to increase the total sale of magazines in the annual contest to overcome the high record of the Freshmen. The Legion essay winners of the freshman class were Jim Gage, Mary K. Bush, and Bob Allen. Betty Saum, Twana Baker, Alice Lee Montgomery, Elda Jayne Mossbarger, Arthur Paul, Jean Spence, and Betty Robinson placed in scholarship tests in Columbus. The results of the scholarship teams scholastically climaxed the first act. The curtain lowers on the scene with a successful picnic at Cedarhurst. Act II opens with Miss Kathleen Davis as director. A smaller cast of 156 students was headed by Joan Wilson, president, Charles Robinson, vice-president, Pershing Mann, secretary, and Bob Allen, treasurer. The first scene shows a large number of sopho- more athletes and musicians. M The sophomore scholarship team was composed of Betty Saum, Dale Tool, Alice Lee Montgomery, Mary Ann Craig, Lloyd Fennig, Bob Allen, Jim Hidy, Stanley Mark, Betty Burr, and Betty Robinson. Dave Ellies won first place in the county Legion essay con- test, and Betty Robinson, third place. Proceeds of the sophomore carnival, high-light of the second act, equipped the museum with a conference table and chairs. The third act finds us with a smaller cast of 131 members with Miss Gladys Melson directing. Dave Ellies, president, Joe Tillett, vice-president, Ronnie Morgan, secre- tary, and Stan Mark, treasurer, took the leading roles as class officers. The junior girls have swelled the class treasury with candy sales at the basketball games. Joan Wilson and Lois Cavinee have been outstanding in magazine sales for the subscription con- tests. The charaoters of the play have contributed much to school activities. All ath- letic, social, and educational groups are well represented by members of the junior class. Although the third act is not complete, we foresee a successful completion of the spring activities. As we leave the theatre, we realize that progress has been and will continue to be the keynote of the success of our class and of the world today and tomorrow, With Emerson we say: Progress is -the activity of today and the assurance of to- morrowf' BETTY ROBINSON.
