 Central Y-Girls Alpha Rho Tau The Y-Girls have enjoyed a most success- ful year under the leadership of Miss Anne Goss and Miss Ruth Avery. Many interest- ing trips were planned, including a visit to the Art Institute and a sight-seeing tour through the Taystee Bread Company as the guests of the Hi-Y boys. The club was kept busy during February with the duties of hostess at the Mid-Winter Girl Reserve Con- ference, held in Flint this year. Among their many invaluable services to the student body, the Y-Girls have organ- ized what they call a “Big Sister” group. It is their purpose to aid every girl who be- comes a member of the student body in the middle of a semester to get acquainted and to find friends. The officers were president, Mary Alice Currie; vice president, Fay Glasco; secre- tary, Adelaide Lovelace; treasurer, Betty Augustine; programs, Carolyn Kraycar; social, Phoebe Dinsmore. The Alpha Rho Tau, under the sponsor- ship of Miss Margaret Hutchinson, was formed this year at the request of those art students who wished 1o become better ac- quainted with the work of their fellow artists and to make a detailed study of the works of the famous old masters. Among the varied activities of the 1940- 41 club, we find a trip to the Detroit Insti- tute of Arts by the charter members, a trip to Ann Arbor, a spring-time venture into the country to sketch nature’s beauties first hand, and a meeting held at the Flint Insti- tute of Arts. There are few organizations in Central who are not deeply indebted to the club for gay and colorful posters advertis- ing their productions or publications to the student body. The officers for the year were president, Catherine Mallott; vice president, Bob He - dershott; secretary, Jeanne Williams. Y GIRLS—Fir !

Radio Club After two years of inactivity the Radio Club was reorganized under the direction of Mr. Kenneth Wright. Ever a popular organization, this year it was even more so as students flocked to room 230 in order to further educate themselves in the realm of radio theory. The activities of the club were centered around learning the construction of radio transmitters and the International Morse Code used in radio work. To aid in the code practice, several audio occillators were con- structed and the boys later spent long hours sending and receiving. A small transmitter was built, and a kilowatt rig, under con- struction for nearly two years, neared com- pletion. The call letters of Central’s station are WSVAX, and this station often con- tacted a similar one at Northern High School. Credit for planning and carrying out the meetings is largely due to the efficient offi- cers who were president, Floyd Wain- scott; vice president, Lewis Shobe; secre- tary, Walter Wierzbicki. Khem Club Interest ran high in the chemistry depart- ment during 1940-41, as Central’s chemists congregated fortnightly to carry out more advanced chemical experiments than they were able to perform in their regular class work. The members were selected on an honorary basis, it being necessary for them to have maintained a “B” average or better in their chemistry class work. Most of the meetings were centered around interesting experiments demonstrat- ed by members, but sometimes a field trip through a factory, laboratory or water plant provided a theme. Of the more diffi- cult experiments performed this year was one on vacuum distillation by Winston Wil- liams in which he proved that l’quids boil at lower temperatures under reduced nres- sure. Another demonstration, by Betty . Mathews was on “Making your own cos- metics.’’ All demonstrations were com Dieted under the careful supervision of Mr. Chester Henry who sponsored the group. The officers were: president, Ronald Rus- sell; secretary-treasurer, Betty Mathews. f i v j

Nancy Stoger, Ethel Collins Belle Masque Society The Attic Players The Belle Masque society was organized in 1926 by Mrs. Helen Hardy Brown to affil- iate those interested in dramatics and for the promotion of good dramatics in the school and community. The club’s motto, “To promote better drama in the home and community,’’ has been well carried out dur- ing the past school year. Included in a maze of activities were four prominent speakers, a banquet, a Christmas party, and a tea-dance for the junior play cast. The club presented a skit in the Kal- eidoscope, and had two exchange programs with Northern. A Junior College drama group presented a one-act play at one of their meetings. For the last meeting of the year, the group held a picnic at which time the “Belle Masque Pin of Merit” was presented to the most outstanding non-senior member. The officers: Reid Torrey, president; Mary Huskey, vice president; Ted Creque and Polly Stone, secretaries. Under the sponsorship of Mrs. Maude Stewart Beagle, the Attic Players again came through the year with the largest membership of any organization in Central, and the enviable reputation of being one of the most active. Among the many enjoyable events participated in by the members were a fall “rushing nite,” a Christmas party, and a spring roller skating party. Much credit was due the following of- ficers who guided the club throughout the year: president, Lawrence Johns; vice pres- ident, Angeline Vojdik; secretary, Mary Ellen Malin; treasurer, Robert Woody; pledge mistress, Harriet Simons. The annual play “You Can’t Take It With You” was given March 20 and 21. It was a huge success and the profits went to the Student Union Fund. Also several one act plays were given for many Flint organiza- tions including “A Question of Figures” and “Make Room for Rodney,” which were two of the most outstanding of these.
