Babylon High School - Trawler Yearbook (Babylon, NY)

Page 34 text:

PRESS CLUB X941-42 was a banner year for the Press Club. After an absence of several years, a printed school paper reappeared in Babylon High. The new offering, Ptmlhw' Tales, a monthly newspaper, was remarkably successful. Publication wasn't always easy. for the venture was a large financial undertaking: but thanks to an able business stall and lots ol' hard work by the whole club, nine issues were published. Much credit goes to Marion Lott, the editor-in-chief, and to Miss Fredendall, the consultant. Besides the paper, the club sponsored two dances-a Defy-Bad-Luck Dance on a Friday. the thirteenth. and a Double-Dozen Dance. both of which were highly successful. LIBRARY CLUB Our Library Club is really a useful school instrument. At the meetings. held once a week. methods of procedure in the library, location and arrangement of books, the check- ing of books. the location of types of material are studied. Because much time is spent in working under Miss Dixson's direction. no club officers are needed. Each member is in full charge of the desk for at least two periods a week. About twice a year activities are planned. This year the group saw Best Foot Forward. and had a spring party.

DGMECON CLUB With Red Cross sewing, the May style show. teas. Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets. this club managed to keep busy throughout the year. Miss Foote was the Taculty adviser, and the ofhcers were as fol- lows: Pres.. E. VVagnerg V.l7., Ruby XVells: Sec.. I. Tichansky: Treas.. lean Broglie. COMMERCIAL CLUB The girls of the Commercial Club, tliq rected by Miss Henze, did a line job ol' at- tending to all secretarial work around school. Not overlooking the All work and no playi' theory, they ttirned the work into enjoyable tasks. We agree with their motto. There's nothing like a pleasant. elli- cient secretary. Tl-TE WATCH VVhether it was cold or hot, stormy or clear. these boys kept watch for aerial aetivf ity over Babylon ever since Pearl llarbor. During free periods they took turns climb- ing the ladder into the tower and out onto the roof. VVe hope their purpose will soon be fulfilled.
