LANGUAGE To widen student understanding and interest in foreign coun- tries, and to aid our soldiers in conversing with our Allies and recognizing enemy writing or signals, the study of language is pursued. Spanish classes learned South America's place in world affairs by writing weekly 100-word Spanish themes based on newspaper articles. Spanish Club activities were highlighted by the presenta- tion of the Sombrero Swing with Marilyn Granville as chairman, and the Pan-American Day Fiesta with Mary Kay Joseph in charge. In this fiesta, Spanish students participated to better ac- quaint us with our neighbors by showing the customs and clothing of our South American friends. During Pan-American Day the school halls were decorated with the Hags of the Latin Republics. Club ofiicers were Ben Damberg, president, Jessie-May Ahrens, vice-president, Mary Kay Joseph, secretary, and Dorothy Kerr, treasurer. Y i 1 i ' Due to the direct use of the French language in war theaters of Africa and Europe, French students are practicing commands and directions of the French army. Outstanding French Club meetings were a Christmas party at the home of Pat Brock, and a popcorn ball party with Marilyn Nielson, hostess. President of the club was Rlene Howell, vice-president, Carol Heinemang secre- tary, Janice Ward, and treasurer, Donna Scheidler. JUNE, 1943 .ul Along with translating German from their text books, the German students vary their work with projects and the singing of folk songs. In this way, they learn the language and nature of the German people. Holding ofiice in the German Club were Betty Kratz, president, Burney Voelker, vice-president, Cora George, secretary, and Margaret Schmierer, treasurer. The activities of the Latin Club were the Roman style show, the Saturnalis, the Roman Christmas, celebrated by the presentation of a skit and the singing of Christmas carols, and the Ides of March party. The officers of the club were consul, Agnes McIntyre, scriba, Mary Michel, quaestor, Irma Eichorn. SOCIAL SCIENCE Although the reading of current periodicals held the lime-light in Social Science classes, projects and note books played an im- portant part. Outstanding were Pat Jackson's posters on post Civil War days, Barbara Grey's project on Lincoln, Bill Sten- glein's cartoon strip on Der Fuerher's Face, and Marie Rochtcher's scrap book on World War II, Mr. James H. Shackleton of the Michigan National Bank spoke to the economics classes on InHa- tion and Dr. B. H. Crewe, rector of the Calvary Memorial church, discussed personality with the psychology classes. Sixteen Hill seniors filled positions in the local government on Student Rule day, March 17. The event which is sponsored by the American Legion gave students from both the Lumberjack and Trojan camps an opportunity to work efficiently and coopera- tively together. Following the Saginaw City Charter procedure in forming the government, each of the thirteen Hill government classes elected one student to serve as likely members of the City Council. Due to the fact that nine members compose the council, Priscilla John- son. Zoe Mason, Don Sperling, and Jack Winters were eliminated when straws were drawn. Bernadine Acker, Edwin Boehm, Jean Bremer, Sallie George, Bob Hanes, Don MacMillan, Esther Schie- fer, Kenneth Sypker, and Sally Trombley compose the council. The first move of parliamentary action was taken when council mem- bers elected Bob Hanes as Mayor and Jack Winters as City Mana- ger. Of these two, only Jack served on government day with the Trojan mayor-elect. Appointment of a three-member advisory board by Mayor Hanes and City Manager Winters resulted in a committee composed of Agnes McIntyre, Don Nuechterlein, and James Stenglein. After studying the flow of applications which poured into the head gov- ernment room 173 on February 24, the committee composed an eligibility list which was directly delivered to the city manager and approved. High-lighting the year in government classes was ruling the city for a day by Jack Winters as City Manager, Russell Red- fern, Fire Chief, Gordon Bowman, Fire Inspector, Dave Graeb- ner, Superintendent of Patrol Division, Mary Chism, Supervisor of Records, Jessie-May Ahrens, Superintendent of Sanitation, Janice Ward, Superintendent of Public Health Nurses, Robert E. Braun, City Engineer, Harland Mark, Superintendent of Filtra- tion, Mary Ellen Ringleburg, City Assessor, Priscilla Johnson, Purchasing Agent, Mary Lown, Personnel Officer, Pat Brock, City Attorney, and Dorothea Mountz, Director of Welfare. The student ofiicials were escorted to their respective ofiices at 9 a. m., where they took over for the day. Lunch was served at the American Legion Home at 12:15 p. m. Mrs. Sallie Brown, government head, was in charge of Hill arrangements. Miss Irma Boelter, secretary to City Manager Pe- terson, assisted both high schools in plans. 17
