To accommodate the increasing need for educational films, an advisory composed of mostly sophomores and guided by a few juniors and seniors, handles the projection of movies. Besides educational films such as: “The Molecular Theory of Matter and “Making Electricity, ’ movies of a lighter vein such as: “Drums Along the Mohawk and “Tale of Two Cities” are shown. The 16 mm. sound projector is most often used, while the 16 mm. art projector is used l y the English department. Besides the 16 mm., the art department uses the opaque projector.

C..............Carol Mathews In spite of the many and varied Showboat activities, Triettes is the only official social organization open solely to girls. The success of the membership drive started the year off with a bang. The Recognition sen-ice officially welcomed the new members. Miss Marshall, director of the Y.. gave u thought-provoking talk on the meaning of Y. W. C. A. membership. Thus the year began. As a member club of the Minneapolis Y-Teens, the teen department of the Young Women’s Christian Association strove to carry out its purpose, service, fellowship, and fun. These ideals were expressed in the programs for the year, under the theme, “If I can grow as a Y-Teen” Self-improvement proved to be a major topic during the year, including a hair stylist, make-up advice, and accessory planning. These subjects prepared the members for the Spring Style Show, which was presented to the school the second week in May. Service projects included caroling at old people’s homes during Christmas and ushering for the Ice Follies. “Camps for Korea was the slogan for the World Fellowship Drive. The total contribution from the city far exceeded the primary goal of $300. Central raised funds for our contribution by sponsoring the “Cupids Cut-up. a Valentine's Day dance. On a city wide basis, the International Festival also raised money for Korea. Row One: Mathew . Gohde, Bjerke, Bauer. Frail. Row Two: Rowing. Hankins. Berg-strand. Clement . Row Three: Mnrri-on.
