Girl Reserves Started Year With A Big party What's your name 'ZH f'You're my little sister. Where is my big sister? Have you seen her? Boy, are these lollipops good! Thus the Girl Reserves started the new school year with the Big and Little Sister Party, to acquaint new and old members. Following the big and little sister party was the recognition service which inducted all new members into the Girl Reserve Club. In November was Prayer Week, given by the Girl Reserves and Hi-Y together. Thanksgiving the service committee made and delivered small pumpkin pies to shut-ins. A little children's party was given by the social committee in December for poor children, and barrels of food, placed in the halls at school, were given to the Salvation Army. The Dad- daughter Feed, and Vesper Tea given with junior high and junior college were in February. The carnival with the Hi-Y and election of new officers came in March. Girl Reserves entertained their Mothers with the Mother- Daughter banquet in April. Also in April was Service Day at which time all the G. R.'s worked in the stores uptown to make money for the club. The year closed with the senior farewell, play day for junior high girls, camp election, and Sitting Up Conference when the new cabinet made plans for the next school year. The Girl Reserve cabinet created a new plan this year for holding its meetings. Formerly they had them Wednesday after school alternating with committtee meetings. However, this proved sometimes to be rather inconvient as it made the girls late getting home. Therefore, they decided to have their meetings at noon, and to have members of the cabinet bring their lunch. This plan worked very well, except for one time when the president, having been excited about her grade card, forgot about the meeting. However, it turned out all right, for she re- membered it in time to rush back and take charge of the last half of the meeting. Officers of the club this year were Madeline Miller, presi- dentg Marjorie Hadley, vice-president, Dorothy Heathman, sec- retary, Twilah Seefeld, treasurerg Jeanne Belt, Student Council representative. Chairmen of the various committees were Grace Newman, programg Kathryn Curfman, socialg Esther Sissom, finance: .Ruby Beebe, service, Alice Lewis, music, Vivian Logan, publi- cityg Virginia Amos, athleticg Marjorie Hadley, membership. Sponsors were Miss Helen Silverwood, head sponsor, Miss Edna Wheatley, Miss Lillie Nemecheck, Miss Olive Ramagc, Miss Alice Carrow, Mrs. Daisy Hamit, and Miss Esther Denton. Two women, Mr. Belt and Mrs. Harry Oldroyrl, were chosen honorary members of the club by the cabinet this year. Mrs. Belt wrote the following poem which was repeated by the pres- ident before each general meeting. There are many keys to- the doors of life, There are many keys both great and small. But love alone is the master key, God gives it free to all. PAGE 12 ALlSl'.7R'I' CANNON Imlustrial Coin-sc. ICUNICIEI CHANl'JLI?lt C0l'l1l'YlCl'C:fll Course.

Lambert presides Qver l-li-V, Christian Clubs Give Carnival Every club that endures has a worthy purpose. So it is with Hi-Y, the high school boys club whose purpose is to create and maintain throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. In the pursuit of this purpose the club has educated many boys annually along spiritual and cultural lines. The governing body of the club is a cabinet which is headed by Albert Lambert, president. The other officers, who are also on the cabinet, are Edwin Maier, Vice-president, Keith Curfman, secretary, Howard Engleman, treasurer: and Willis Payton, Student Council representative. The rest of the cabinet made up of chairmen of the various committees. Every two weeks the club meets in the Y-Scout building where during the noon hour, they are served a luncheon. The cabinet arranges for the preachers of the various churches and leading business men to address the boys on special occasions they engage speakers from out of town. After lunch is se1'ved the the boys generally break up into groups and spread out into the game rooms, where they play ping pong or into the anti room where they carry on informal discussions of timely events and topics. Occasionally they have the more talented members entertain them with a musical number, but most ol' the time is used in learning to know the other members better and mastering the principals of good fellowship. Since the founding of the club they have always sponsored a prayer week. The Girl Reserves, which is a club for girls built on about the same principles as the Hi-Y, has always helped them in promoting their big projects. Madeline Miller, president of G. R., presided over the meetings which were called for 15 minutes every morning of the week of November 4-8. An added activity of the Hi-Y club, working with the G. R., was a play which they presented in the Thanksgiving Day assembly program. It was a one act play interpreting the true Thanksgiving spirit in a modern setting. The cast made up oil' Hi-Y and G. R. members, included Nina Mae Brill, Betty Ham- ilton, Claire Edwards, lVIarjorie Hadley, Emily Jane Yount, Margaret Lowery, Grace Newman, Victor Bryant, Howard Entr- leman, Edwin Mair, Martin Myers, Russel Leach, and Jay Ruckcl. One of the high spots of the year came when the District Hi- Y convention met in Pitttsburg. Twelve delegates from the local chapter who attended were Albert Lambert, Keith Curfman, Howard Engleman, Duane Crill, Duane Walker, Russel Leach. -lay Ruckel, Robert Clough, Jack Maze, John Shea, and Bruce Edwards. The delegation stayed three days, leaving here Dec- ember 13 and returning December 15. Mr. Hoyt Piper, head sponsor of Hi-Y and Homer J. Clark, secretary of the character building organizations acted as chaperons on the trip. It has always been the custom of the club to work with the G. R. in putting on a show once every two years. Until two years ago the show was a circus featuring the members of the physical education classes, with elephants, clowns, and all the trimmings. This year a carnival was held March 27 on the lower floor of the school building and had as its main attraction, the crowning of Queen Patricia and King Pat frickl. 'MGE 14 LENA DAVIS College Prep.
