The Ink Spot The Ink Spot, Byron’s school news- paper, was master minded this year by Editor Jerry Piper. At one of the first meetings of the year Jerry and his crew of workmen decided that if the paper had been issued once every two weeks in the past, now would be a good time to make it a weekly. As a result, the Ink Spot has this year given the news while it was still hot. Mr. Sunderman acted as advisor for the group. Miss Schutte super- vised the stencil cutting, mimeo- graphing, art work, etc. Jerry had as his assistant, Jo Love. Pat Kanode was Literary Editor: Helen Fleming, Humor Editor: Evelyn Cain. News Editor; and Joan Morrison, Art Editor. Typists and sten- cilists were Frannie Noyes. Nylia Bontjes, Helen Fleming, Donna Burkitt, Lois Palmer, and Ruby Noren. The By Hi Responsibility for the publication of this year's BY-HI was placed on the shoulders of Chuck McNames at a class meeting early in the school year. After having elected Chuck editor-in-chief, it was also decided that he should be given the right of choosing whatever assistants he deemed necessary. As a result Nylia Bontjes was appointed as- sistant editor: Pat Kanode, business manager; Donna Burkitt assistant business man- ager; Joan Morrison, art editor: Frannie Noyes, sports editor; and Evelyn Cain, fea- ture editor. The class decided to engrave and print this year's annual and chose The Dixon Evening Telegraph to do their work. Morrison Studio of Milwaukee was responsible for individual senior pictures and the group pictures. Most of the activity pictures were taken by Jerry Piper. Mr. Sunderman acted as advisor to the staff and was greatly instrumental in see- ing that copy was completed in order to meet the dead lines set up by the printers and engravers.

Student Council President ........ Frannie Noyes Vice-Pres...... Marguerite Johnston Secretary-Treasurer Dick Swanson Advisor ................... Mr. Haire First Row: Swanson, Johnston, Noyes, Fleming, Mr. Haire. Second Row: Dillow, Kennedy, Harmon, Jones. The Student Council is composed of eight members, two from each class. These eight members, elected by their classmates, meet with Mr. Haire once a month to dis- cuss student problems. This year’s council was instrumental in starting a dancing class which was held during noon hours for those people who were interested in learning to dance. The council also worked out a plan to purchase new records to be used at school parties. Most of the work of the council, however, was the establishment of school policies that would lead to a smooth working school unit without placing undue restric- tions on students, faculty, or administration. Spanish Club This year, with the coming of a new teacher, Miss Stiles, and a new subject, a new club was organized—the Spanish Club. It is a small club composed of the members of the class, but it is an active organization. Meetings are held once a month at which time the members report on life in old Spain. In addition the students carry on corre- spondence with the students in Spain. On February 15 the group presented a Spanish Fiesta and it proved to be one of the most enjoyable social events of the year. Following the program and refreshments, there was music and dancing for everyone. President ........ Betty McCormick Vice-President Marleen Harris Secretary .........

Future Homemakers Early in June of 1945 the Byron Chapter of the Future Homemakers of America was founded. From that day forward the Byron branch of the F. H. A. has taken great strides in preparing the girls for the future in actual homemaking practices as well as impressing upon them the importance of co-operation and wholesome living for the betterment of the community in which they live. Miss Holmes has led the thirty-eight girls in many fine activities throughout the year. The highlight of the season was the F. H. A. Rally Day held in Byron. Many schools from the surrounding area joined in a Saturday’s program consisting of dis- cussions, a style show, refreshments, and entertainment presented by groups from vari- ous schools represented. In order to meet the club’s needs and supplement the treasury, many methods of raising funds were employed by the club members. Working in close conjunction with the oranization’s advisor was a group of student officers, elected early in the year. These officers were Evelyn Cain, president; Ramona Nelson, secretary; Jo Love, treasurer: Lois Palmer, point chairman; Joan Morrison, parliamentarian; Kav Love, reporter; and Helen Fleming, song leader.
