ELGIN ETIQUETTE CLUBS Presidents MARGUERITE MILAN, THURMAN BAKER Vice-Presidents LAVINIA WAYLAND, EDWARD KAISER Secretary -Treasurers ERANCES DAVIS, THELMA SEYMOUR, HELEN ShifLET Hello, Everybody. This is station EEC broadcasting. Can’t you imagine that some “bold knave’’ must have dropped a gentle hint? Don’t repeat it! They thought we needed Emily Post for an adviser, so an Etiquette organization was formed. Are we polite? Well, just take a peep in at our Alma Mater. Our first “booming success’’ was an informal party staged under the auspices of the Misses Baker and Milan who acted as hostesses. Oh, such fun and refresh- ments! Never fear, we used our manners. Can you not picture us dear little messengers of politeness, diligently dis- cussing the tactics of the right thing to do on the appointed day of meeting? Please, dear pupils, if you have any problems that you are troubled about, in the way of etiquette, visit our station. Our aim is helpfulness. We’re signing off, but remember if you’re in doubt as to our ability, write us in care of Alexandria High School. Good-night all !

ETIQUETTE CLUB The “Knife-and-Fork-How-Do-You-Do Club” is quite the proper thing at the High School this year. This particular club, under the sponsorship of Miss Kiracofe, was divided into four groups, each of which gathered itself together for a meeting once a month; and though its activities were short-lived, due to a change in schedule the second semester, there’s no question but what there’s absolutely nothing wrong with this picture now. We eat our asparagus with our fingers, we never order chicken salad for the fourth time, and we have a perfect flair for introductions. If you see us gentlemen walking down the street between our girl friends these days, you’ll know it’s simply because they insisted upon sharing us equally.

PEP CLUB President ANGELA BELL Vice-President FRANCES GAINES Secretary MARGUERITE PENN Treasurer BONELLE THOMAS The Pep Club began another successful year sponsored by Miss Eddie Dickert. A meeting was called and all classes were well represented. After the election of officers, the next thing on our minds was the initiation of the Freshmen. A very successful stunt night was given by representatives of the various classes with the kind assistance of the teachers. There were high school badges sold which also added to our funds. Our next aim was to give to the football team their annual supper which was voted the best yet, and that means something.
