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.

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 !

GLEE CLUB President MARGUERITE MONCURE Vice-President MARGARET LEE Secretary-Treasurer SARAH CARTER Faculty Adviser MISS YATES Pianist MARGARET LEE You’ve heard Glee Clubs, no doubt, but have you ever heard A. H. S.’s? If you haven’t, you should, and if you have — well, you may be the judge. If you saw “South Is South,’’ presented by the Barrymore Dramatic Club, you heard us and saw us, too! We are locally known as the “Mocking Birds,’’ a title that needs no explanation. In preparing for an appearance we first study the words of a song so that we may feel the song and put expression into our melody. We specialize in two-part group singing. Of course, we do solo work, too. We take great delight in staying after school to learn new songs. That’s unusual, isn’t it?
