THE TOOT 28 K. E. SOCIETY At the first meeting of the year we proposed names for new members, and at the next meeting we discussed and voted on these names, accepting eleven. Solemn Initiation took place at Mary Stafford’s. As a means of earning money, we have held candy sales at various times tmuout the year. We also sold pop- corn at the Battle of Music. During the week of Thanksgiving vacation the annual K. E. Convention was held in Schenectady. Representing our chapter were Aurel Sattler, our president, and Jean Davis as a prize speaker. They both returned with sou- venir gifts of keys with the K. E emblem on them; Jean received hon- orable mention among the prize speak- ers. At Christmas time we donated a basket of food to a needy family, each member contributing some article of food. Our annual K. E. ball was held De- cember 30th at the dancing academy and was a huge success both financial- ly and socially. The hall was trimmed with holiday decorations and our K. E. banner of blue and gold hung over the doorway. At the first meeting in January we elected new officers which are as fol- lows: President. Hesper Hoyt Vice President... Mary Jane Albanesc Treasurer...............Lorna Weimer Chaplain...................Mary Tibbits Corresponding Sec.,Molly Bonaventura Recording Sec..............June Wood Names for new members were pro- posed at the following meeting and the discussion and voting resulted in the acceptance of six. We held our annual banquet at Hotel Oneida, our main speaker being Mrs. Robert Proctor. Aurel Sattler pre sided as toastmistress, Jean Davis spoke in behalf of the old members and Mary Frances Stahler in behalf of the new ones. We have had a very successful year and we sincerely hope that next year will be just as successful. —DORIS CAMP PRESS CLUB Most of the members of the old Press Club graduated last year, but the few of us who were leit wished to continue the organization. We ask- ed Mr. McLean for permission to do so, and It was granted willingly. Misj Callaghan, the Home Economics in- structor, kindly consented to serve as Faculty Advisor for the club, and we wish to take this opportunity to thank her for the cheerful help and ever ready consultation that she has given us. We also wish to thank the Bee- Journal for its donation of space, ana close cooperation with the Ciub. It was unfortunate that the space demands of local news and advertisements limited our space allottment and made the paper appear “skimpy at times, but we do not wish to appear ungrateful, as we really are greatly indebted to the Bee-Journal. For a time there was considerable agitation for printing a paper of our own, but the plan died down due to the fact that the mimeograph machine of the school is not in satisfactory working order, and the initial cost tor material for the duplicating machine, was prohibitive. Many of the students have objected to the fact that the gos- sip is read by the entire Madison County tand the parents), but as yet there has been no remedy for this problem. To those who didn’t think the paper was so good at times, may we remind them that most of the Rress Club, in fact almost all of the members, were new members this year, and haven’t had the experience which is essential in publishing a successful paper. To those that scoff at the above state- ment, may we remind them, that wo have always welcomed contributions to the paper, and those who wanted to better the paper were welcome to do so at any time. —HERBERT LENEKEK
