1935 CHEVRON CIIOOL E The Junior Activities The ,Iunior Class hegan their activities this year with a llalloweien party. This was held in the lligh School gymnasium which was artistically decor- ated. The costumes made it look more picturesque, as it was a masquerade party. The inn commenced with the Clrand March, after which prizes were awarded to those who were the hest and the most cleverly dressed. Games and refreshments took up a larger part of the evening. l.ater the juniors enjoyed dancing to the tunes of .Xrnold llolliday's orchestra. President Ralph Tiffany and the committees were successful in making this party one ofthe great events of the year. Besides all this the ,Iunior Class provided entertainment for all the stndentt in high school in the form of several plays held during the year under the supervision of Miss XYilliams. Doris Nesbitt Freshman Class The clnh activities of the 1035 ireslnnan class are connected with the first year Iinglish cluh whore theme was the history of Orleans County. First the work of the cluh concerned the early history of Orleans County as a tract of land. From this study the students gained several interesting and educational henelits. Next they studied the history of many of the im- portant churches in Orleans County. ln this way several of the students became familiar with the first churches in Orleans County and their contrihu- tors. Also the cluh investigated the history of some of the early settlers of Orleans County. .Xn interesting result of this study was the discovery that several of the memlmers of the cluh had ancestors who had helped settle Orleans County and had experienced a great deal of adventure in so doing. This was a fine theme for a clnh to have and perhaps these active young students will have even a hetter theme next year. Burt lXlcNall Page Twenty- two

1935 CHEVRON S.S.S. This club under the supervision of Miss VVright, has had quite an eventful year. lts a'm is to elevate the standards of social service among the Senior Girls and it has succeeded quile well in this purpose. At the first meeting in September the following officers were elected: President, Charlotte Dono- vang Vice-President, jean Browng Secretary, Marge Graves, and Treasurer, VVinifred Pilon. Our first social adventurer was a banquet of Laube's' Old Spain, Rochester, and a movie afterwards. This was for the initiation of new members and the highlight of the evening came when Frederica Smith was cal'ed on unexpectedly to make a speech. Before Christmas vacation we got up a party and invited the Hi-Y Boys. A very pleasant evening was spent having games, refreshments, speeches and dancing in the'music room ,of the High School. March 16, the Hi-Y Boys returned the compliment by inviting us to their convention with dancing in the afternoon and a banquet at night at the Methodist Church, where we enjoyed a speech by Paul Harris. VVe have spon- sored several dances on Friday afternoons which were enjoyed by the whole high school. At our meetings every month we had speeches given by Miss XVrigh'5, Miss Fisher and several S. S. S. girls on topics that interest girls. During the week of May l2, forty junior girls were initiated in this club to carry on the work for next year. Perhaps you noticed them with their gay ribbons on their hair and shoes and a pillow case over their shoulders. Before our year is up we plan to have a banquet at Fairview Manor, june fifth at six-thirty o'clock. and Saturday, june eighth we plan to go to Nine- Mile Point, Miss VVright's home, to spend the day. The pledges will also go and they can expect further initiation. In case you don't know who the S. S. S. Girls are, look for girls wearing pins with the letters S. S. S. on them and guard with the date 1935. Jean Brown, Vice-President The F orty-ninth Annual Signor Prize Speaking Contest On Friday evening, May 24, 1935, there assembled in the Albion High School Auditorium perhaps the best group of student speakers that the audience had heard in several years. Each person had his or her own inimit- able style of delivering a speech and the whole program was highly com- mended by the judges.
