But as the progress of this yearls club is recorded there is one realistic effort that will stand out. This is the waste paper campaign waged by members of the club in the interest of National De- fense. Many tons of old newspapers and magazines were collected and sold to factories which remade them into defense products. The proceeds were donated to the Red Cross. Although handicapped by the loss of our sponsor, J. Boyd Finney, who accepted a civil service position in the army air corps at the close of the first semester, Mr. Hines and Mr. Chestnut stepped into his position and finished the term. The Hi-Y cooperated with the Girl Reserve club by sponsoring a sweetheart party during the Valentine season and in operating the concession stand at the football stadium. During the membership drive aspir- ants were treated to a watermelon feedtand later in the season club members and their fathers enjoyed an in- formal chili supper in the gymnasium. 21-

With the membership roll call topping all previous records since way back, the Girl Reserve Club began the '-11-'42 year in earnest. As in former years the school book exchange was managed by the G. R. This, as well as sponsoring the refreshment stand at athletic events, served as a means of financing the club 's yearly activities. A Trojan Etta-Kett book, explaining the do 's and don ft 's of high school life was begun alld partially finished, but with the change of World events more time was given to community and Red Cross work. Proving that girls can forget lipstick, angora sweaters, frilly hats and men, they went all out for relief work by knitting, piecing quilts, sewing layettes and making bandages. The fall conference at Minneapolis was attended by ten girls who brought back a certificate honor award for outstanding organization wo1'k. At the end of the first semester Miss Brien, G. R. sponsor accepted at teaching position in Wyoming and left Miss Turner to assume her duties as advisor. 20 an of hr X A 6 , an 0 e'.a- ,fijifjh N x v if ,.
