Grease Paint Club Makes-up Actors THE GREASE PAINT Club was founded by Mr. Thomas Davey in the fall of 1938, and definitely became a necessary part of the extra-curricular activities of Central. During 1939-40 the club assumed the com- plete responsibility for all stage make-up for Central dramatic presentations. At the meetings the members learned the essential parts of the art of make-up and received practical exper- ience in the Kaleidoscope, the Attic Players production of The Charm School, the Junior and Senior Class plays and the all-school opera The Firefly. In addition, in 1940, the club took over the make-up for the Flint Civic operas. The officers of the Grease Paint Club were: president, Ilah Smith; vice-president, Marge Greer; and secretary-treasurer, Ruth Erity. Thomas Davey BE. Sponsor GREASE PAINT CLUB —Front Row: I.

Sponsor Philatelists Exchange Specimens THE STAMP Club met in room 238 every two weeks with Miss Edna Stewart as sponsor. At the regular meetings the members exchanged stamps with each other, which enabled them to make their individual collections more com- plete. The Club subscribed to a Stamp magazine to help them to determine the value of certain stamps. The money received from dues was used to buy stamps to be given as prizes for the educational games played at the meetings. A committee sent for first day issues of stamps. The Club maintained exhibits in room 238 and in the lobby showcases. An exhibit was also displayed at the Hobby Show at the I. M. A. Auditorium. Two dinner parties were en- joyed by the members. 28

School Service Aim of Hi-Y THE MOHAWK HI-Y was sponsored by Mr. Ralph Misner. Meetings were held every Tues- day evening at which time movies, speakers, and athletics were enjoyed. The Mohawks ushered and took tickets for all school activities held in the auditorium. With the aid of the Y- Girls a game room was conducted during the winter months. Other activities were selling football pins, giving Christmas baskets; helping the State Older Boys' Conference, which was held in Flint in December; and attending the Youth Hour at the First Baptist Church. Several parties were held. Among them were a roller skating party and a gym party to which all Junior Hi-Y members of the city were invited. Leon DeCaire held the office of president; Morrie Bikoff was vice-president; Ronald Rus- sell, secretary, and Donald Shaw and Bernard were Y. M. C. A. representatives. THE HI-Y CHIEFS were under the sponsorship of Mr. Jerry Udell during 1940, their first year of existence. Twenty-three boys formed this group which was chartered by the Young Men's Christian Association. As the year's project, the Chiefs worked with the Mohawks and the Book- er T. Washington Club to help reduce noise and confusion in the halls during the noon hours. The Chiefs entered a team in the Hi-Y Bas- ketball League of the city and reached the finals. They took part in the Youth Hour held at the First Baptist Church in March. The group also sent a delegation to the district convention at Flushing. The officers for the year were: president, Dan- ny Sullivan; vice-president, Jack Stallings; sec- retary, Bob Napper; treasurer, J. C. Nolen. KI-Y CHIEFS—Front Row: lack Stallings, Jerry Udell.

Plans were made for a weiner roast which was held at MacDonald's cottage at Lobdell Lake on Thursday, October 5, 1939. At that meeting it was decided that the F Club girls would take care of the candy stands at all the ball games and school parties. The best meeting of the year was a joint party with the boys who were letter winners. They danced, played ping pong, badminton, and had refreshments. The club this year consists of 40 members.
