At that time Selma Bogle, Gwendolyn Burke, Alda Cox, Eleanor Crabtree, Ruth Groseclose, Helen Hanshew, Gladys Harden, Vivian Harner, Doneld Groseclose, Eula Mae Neel, Trula Ne- el, Anna Wayne Tibbs, Erma Tibbs, Naomi Un- barger, Pauline Umbarger, Thelma Williams, Alvin Crabtree, and Billy Hubble composed our fair sized roll. We regret, hewever, that at the end of our freshman year we lost a few members, namely: Anna Wayne T bbs, Pauline Umbarger, Thelma Williams,and Trula Neele To repay us for loss, we gained in our Sophomore year another step toward our cher- ished goal and a new membrer, Ida Groseclose. Almost before we realized it we were Juniors welcoming another class member} Yorke Hubble. Senior year is just ahead of us now and during it and the years coming after may we still be under the American flag and Govern- hent,always striving for what is right and faire ZZ SS SSS.

Through the magazine drive, the members secured eighteen magazines for the library ang bought a flag; play pole and song books for the school. it improved the library by putting up cur- tains, adding flowers,keeping the bulletin board, ect.
