TALENT SCOUTS Through their efforts to uncover the latent abilities of the club members, the one hundred nineteen boys in Hi-Y have earned the title, “Talent Scouts”. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Chestnut and Mr. Hines, and with the leadership of its fine cabinet, the group sponsored many worth while projects. Not least among these were the contributions made to the United War Fund, Community Hospital Drive, Red Cross, and to the Camp Wood Improvement Project. Another profitable project was the operation of the concession stand at basketball games with the proceeds going to the student council. Social activities of the year included a father-son mixer. A delegation from Beloit was sent to the district conference at Salina on March 5. Hi-Y Cabinet R. Biiney ...........President M. Jamison .....Vice-president R. Pickier ..........Secretary M.

MAKE-UP ARTISTS As a m ke-up artist prepares a pT at star for the final shots of a scene, so the Girl Reserve organization prepares a girl for wholesome living in the future. Influencing and building a better spiritual life is the final touch to a girl’s make-up for life. With approximately one hundred thirty-two members, the G.R. organization held an active part in school life. The book exchange at the opening of school was sponsored by the G.R. During football season the girls worked at the concession stand. Committee projects included scrapbooks for children in the hospitals, scrapbooks for service men, Valentine heartsisters, the maintaining of a book of news clippings about the G.R. and the planning of programs and printing program booklets. Varied programs and social events completed a year of activities. This year, because of the great number of new girls attending Beloit high school, a new “big and little sister” method, proved helpful in aiding the new girls to become acquainted. Margaret Barrett, Lois Houghton and sponsors, Miss Dryden and Miss Bell were delegates at Camp Wood last summer. At the fall and winter conference held at Mankato, nineteen girls and two sponsors attended. Having achieved the highest requirements attainable, they were presented the gold seal. Thus by the moulding strokes of the make-up artists, the Girl Reserves are made better companions—better citizens. Oo OO V V G.R.

They sold enough tickets for two nights’ presentation of their play, “New Fires,” under the direction of Miss Alma Morrison. Stephan Santry, an author, inherits a farm in the Missouri Ozarks. Trying to make his family realize a purpose in life, he sends for them to join him. Upon their arrival, Anne and Olive definitely make up their minds that they do not like rural life and plan to go back to Chicago. Humor is added by Phyllis and Billy, typical teen-age “brats,” who want to stay on the farm. Romantic interest is portrayed by Dick and Eve, also by Lynn and Olive. The climax occurs when Mary Marshall, a neighbor girl, gets scarlet fever while in the Santry homestead, and the house is quarantined by Doctor Lynn Gray. During this period, the family realize and find their purpose in life. Billy, his son, a “regulation youngster”..
