We, the class of '44, have planned this hook bearing in mind those young men and women over there and here at home, serving our country. To them we most respectfully dedicate this CENIAD. 4 Out of sight never means out of mind to East Lansing High School studentsg so war or no war and realizing how much past CENIADS have meant to us, we went to work on our year book. We've had a year of work and fun getting out this CENIAD for you undergrads and for you alumni who are doing a- big, big job. Dear Member of the Armed Forces: This is going to be just a short note because it surely would take absolute ages and pages to tell you all about the work the CENIAD Staff has been doing. I-Iere's a list of those on the staff: Fay Ola Foltz .... Iack Ferris .,,... George Bullen .... lean Chandler Virginia Gilhooley Cynthia Cotes Virginia Anderson Craig Britton ..r., Margie Moone Robert Martin A lack Hicks Henry Darlington Robin Ellis Mar lean Kettunen Richard Iohnson ..,,..................,.

The first great accomplishment was the winning of a dues drive by a 932, average. Their able leaders were lack Otto, Craig Britton, Ioann Dodge, and Richard Iohnson. The CENIAD of '39 mentioned the great pep and cooperation of this class. The eighth grade year continued the headlines with the party, Winter, as the big event. Six members of our class took part in the All Hi Review. Under the direction of Merritt Hill, Burt Edelson, Mary Taylor, and Bill Atchison, we prepared for the freshman year. For our freshman year we selected Bill Iones, Tom O'Rourke, Ioann Dodge, and Ioan Barrow to be our guides. This year we placed third with a dues drive and first in the annual paper sale. Although we were classed in the junior high, we outranked all the senior high. The annual Frosh Frolic terminated another successful and enjoyable year. As our first year in senior high progressed we placed second in the dues drive, had representatives on the varsity teams and many members in clubs. Fay Ola Foltz placed first in the regional declama- tion contests. The soph party, Bankrupt Ball, was put on with a limited number of funds, as the name implied, but was a great success. Head man for this year was Dick Howell, assistants were Bill Dunn, Cynthia Cotes, and Merritt Hill. With the coming year the class looked forward to a junior play and a I-Hop. Under the leader- ship of Iohn Hunt, Eugenia Libby, Barbara Curtiss, and Dick Iohnson, the juniors took the prize for the dues drive and launched into the junior play. Iune Mad had many fine actors and actresses, and netted the largest receipts in the history of the school. The I-Hop under the able leadership of lack Otto chose April Fantasy for its theme. It proved itself worthy of the class of '44 by its novel decorations. The junior class proceeded to be the largest in the history of East Lansing with one hundred twenty members. The class also had Craig Britton and Pat Reid, winners of the citizenship cups, to top off a successful year. The last event, the annual Iunior-Senior Banquet, was held under difficult conditions, but proved to be the impressive event it was in years before. The final year rolled around with Richard Iohnson at the hub and DeVere Ruhl, Sue Coleman, and Bill Atchison as helpers. The annual Senior Mixer opened the year's festivities and was followed by other similar affairs. The year's play, You and I, was another success to be chalked up for the class of '44. The next big evenf was the Senior Prom, The Tropics. With DeVere Ruhl as general chairman, the gym was decorated like a night club. It was staged on February 19 to beat the fatal day of March 1, I X , I when many of our classmen left for the armed services. The ' . I Senior Skip Day, Iunior-Senior Banquet, and the arrival of CK the CENIAD passed in quick succession as we entered the last C gy days of our high school career. Bacculaureate and finally, xv on Iune 14, Commencement arrived. ii' ' Thus ended the high school career of one of the finest X classes in the history of E. L. H.

Waldo, a 14 lb. turkey, was given as a prize. At the same time, the juniors were considering their class jewelry. Approximately half of the class ordered the Trojan head jewelry. Because of wartime difficulty, their jewelry was not delivered until late spring. In cooperation with the seniors, the juniors staged a successful fall paper drive, netting 5100.75 for themselves. Their other fall activities included football, of course, in which three juniors-Red DeGolia, George Foster, and Gene Irwin-participated actively. The New Year was started off with a bang. On Ianuary 15, George Batson's light comedy, Every Family Has One, was presented. As the annual junior play, it was a great success. Basketball was highlighted by Tom Thomson. He was the only junior on the starting line-up, and became high-point man. Bette Whisler and Sally Cuthbert car- ried through the sports as our sensational cheer-leaders. On May sixth the annual I-Hop was given. With Art Nolen as the general chairman, and Nautical But Nice as its theme, it was an outstanding event. The chairmen of committees were as follows: tickets, George Foster, publicity, Sally Cuthbert, decorations, Dick Collingeg programs, Marilyn Adams, band Bette Whisler, refreshments, Nan Ceeleyg patrons, Pat Huntg clean-up Charles DeGolia. The class advisers were Mr. Smith, Miss Wulkow, Miss Cuff, and Mrs. South- worth. Much of the success of the charming juniors is due to these worthy faculty members. The end of a happy year drew near, and, to commemorate it, the annual Iunior- Senior Banquet was given. I SU 0 - 9 - sms, K R mon ouc 3 ary Carry, j ' i .X r ar yn u .

Early in the fall they showed the juniors and seniors what they could do by winning the annual dues drive. Each year the classes compete to see which can get the largest percentage of the class to pay the dues. Much to the sorrow of the upper classmen, the sophs walked off with the senior high prize of five dollars. Another event of the fall was the election of the Student Council representatives. The class chose Nancy Hope, Anita Wellman, Albert Applegate, and Iim Muncie to help lead 'the school this year. Very. competent officers were chosen for the class when Iim Muncie was elected presidentg Rolf Amundson, vice president, Ernie Bueschlen, secretaryg and Bill Cameron, treasurer. Mr. Fuller, Mrs. Shull, and Mrs. Bruegel stood by to help the class through any difficulties. April 1 was the date chosen for the Soph Prom this year. Dick Otto was the general chairman and he was assisted by the following committee chairmen: Mary Ellen Wyngarden, decorations, Barbara McCullagh, refreshmentsg Kenneth Edelson, ticketsg Helen Hubbard, programs and favors: Eloise Mitchell, publicity, Delores Rimboch, musicg and Barbara Finney, invitations. A great deal of work by the class made the party a success and it was enjoyed by the whole high school. There were many outstanding individuals in the sophomore class this year. lack Dingman earned his major letter in football and joined Varsity Club. Ted Swift was on the reserve basketball team and played some mighty good games. Rolf Amundson and Iim Muncie, in addition to being class officers, were on the second football team, and Iim was captain of the team. All-in-all, the class made a very good record for itself this year, and next year will find them really going strong. Row I-Robert Stanley, M Ellen Wynznrden.

How could a class go wrong with the good list of advisers and class ofiicers that the eighth grade had this year? Mr. Graper was chairman of the advisers for the class, and Miss Newhouse, Miss Hoffman, Miss Reading, Mrs. Brodhead, and Miss Wulkow assisted him. Iim Thomson was elected president, Frances I-Ianslovsky, vice president, Wiladine Garrigan, secretaryg and Marilyn Smith, treasurer. When it came time for election of members to the Iunior Student Council, the class chose Stanford Stoddard, Ianet Schweizer, Ronnie Penner, lack Reddy, Ann Foster, Tom Campbell, Bob Horwood, and Mary Anne Languis. The big party of the year was held on Ianuary 14, 1944. To make the party a grand affair the following committee chairmen were selected: general chairman, lim Thomson, invitations, Kitty Daweg entertainment, Frances Hanslovskyg decorations, Marilyn Smith, refreshments, Stanford Stoddard, and clean-up, Wiladine Garrigan. A program was planned, games were played, dancing was enjoyed, and refreshments were served. The party had a big crowd, and it was enjoyed by everyone. Miss Wulkow's home room was very outstanding this year. They made three clever displays for the display case across the hall from their room. They also prepared a Thanksgiving basket for a needy family, and gave a Christmas party. L Row 3-Howard Weaver. Leona Wolf, Edward Thaden, Georgia Steers, Charles Weber, Charlotte Wellman.

The seventh grade made a good start on its career in the school this year with Miss Hannagan, Miss Sontag, Miss Iohnson, and Mrs. Rogers as class advisers. The class chose capable officers when they elected Carol Grams, president, Chuck Hubbard, vice preidentg Helen Parsons, secretary, and Holly Hay, treasurer. The social events of the year began in October with a party which was held in the gymnasium from three-thirty to five o'clock. Games were enjoyed, a grand march was conducted, and refresh- ments.were served. Then all enjoyed some dancing. The winter party was held in March, and the students danced, played table games, and had refreshments. XVhen the weather became nice toward the end of the school year, a picnic was held with the whole class turning out to make the party very enjoyable. Clarice Hoffer, Connie Atwood, Iohn Bogue, Chuck Hubbard, William Waddell, Irene Whitte- more, Lucy Lyman, and Arthur Rice were elected to the Iunior Student Council. These members proved to be a big addition to the Council. This year the seventh grade edited the Trumpet Iunior, a miniature Trojan Trumpet. The editors of the paper were William Williams, William Waddell, and Elwood Ruhl. Another project of the class was the making of hospital bags for the Red Cross by Miss lohnson's home room.

No kidding, it really sounds grand. It's made up of the fifty-five best voices from the Girls' Chorus and the Boys' Glee Club. They were chosen on the basis of voice quality, dependability, and balance. They are doing wonderfully well in blending voices and the choir sounds marvelous. Their songs are both accompanied and unaccompanied numbers and the group is the only one in our school to have blue robes with white collars. All the songs are from the best literary works and the group really does them justice. There is no regular time for rehearsals, but they get together two or three times a week and practice. The choir sings for many occasions, and in the past fall they sang for the Woman's Club, and at various community places. You'll be hearing more about this group as I am a great admirer of the choir. I hope you'll be able to hear them yourself. , Much love, SALLY 5. .L'. .-.-ll. 8. Kane! Hello Bob, You certainly missed out on a lot of fun this year in not being around to hear our band. I guess that isn't your fault though because it seems that Uncle Sam has priorities. The whole school was thrilled at the opening pep meeting when a band of forty members appeared before our expectant eyes. After they had played a few selections the students applauded loud and long, and it was easy to see that the group was pleased. The interest in the band grew quickly in spite of the fact that many of the students could not work it into their schedules. Quite a few times there were night rehearsals, and at the end of the first semester we had a band of fifty-four people. It was really astounding how they progressed by literal leaps and bounds. At every basketball game we were sure to see our staunch supporters there in the band. As an added attraction a smaller pep band was organized for many of the special pep meetings and pro- grams. In December they presented a half hour program to the Mother and Dad's Club. Quite a few new and rebuilt instruments were bought so that the instrumentation and various renditions would be better. Since numerous members of the band will be graduated more talent is desired so that we can build a bigger and better band for next year that our school will be very proud of. A dehnite program of personal advancement was followed this year and the improvement was extremely obvious. Instruction was given in student directing, every member, during the course of the year, having to direct the band at least once. In the spring, the band was given training in marching, and this coming fall, during the football season, they should certainly make a fine appearance in their blue uniforms. Also in the same spring season, the concert band presented, to the students and to the towns- people, a concert which proved to be a grand success. Iguess that just about covers the band activities, but if you can, when you get home on a furlough, try to hear it. I'm sure you'll enjoy the playing. 'Til I hear from you. Sincerely, IOHNNY TROIAN. gm' glee ew Dear Chuck, We surely have been doing things this year in the Girls' Glee Club. We meet only three times a week, but do we get things done. We are almost as rushed as you busy fellows are. You know how much fun it is to sing, but we also accomplish a lot of work. People around here are pretty much aware of us, singing hither and thither. NVE! sang at the Mothers and Dads' Club several times, put on an assembly or two-collaborated with the Speech class for a very effective Christmas program-and sang at the Peoples Church for the Good Friday and the Baccalaureate Services. Of course there was our annual operetta. This operetta was quite different from anything that we have previously put on. It was in the form of a variety show. One part was serious, while the other half was humorous. We had some really scrumptious warblers this year. You should hear some of the special trios and quartets-really super. The chorus couldn't go too far wrong with the material they had. Some of these trios and quartets gave programs over the radio station WKAR. Miss Weissinger, our sponsor, selected some really good music for us. Some of these are songs by Gershwin and Cole Porter: Sunbeam Out of Heaven, Your Land and My Land, The Lord Bless You and Keep You, Tea for Two, and Stardust. You can see that we had quite a good variety. Those who accompanied with their nimble fingers were Fay Ola Foltz, Willa Mitchell, and Dorothy Barnum. Fay Ola also accompanied the Boys' Glee Club. From the entire Glee Club, boys and girls, were chosen the most outstanding voices for A Capella Choir. Well, I must leave you now. Have loads of studying to do. Love, IEANNE EQ Mio JVN 'QR .

We, the Class of 1944, regretfully QFD leaving East Lansing High School, after much solemn thought make the following bequests: I, Roderick Alderton, leave my ability of telling wild information to the next propagandist that comes along.

I, Robert Clay, regretfully leave Sue. 9. Wake 8641 Dear WAVE, The Senior play, You and I, was presented to an appreciative audience on the evening of November 13. It was the story of the White family and their troubles. It was really wonderful. I wish you could have been here to see it. George Bullen played Maitland White, the head of the family, who loved to paint. Nancy White, his charming wife, was portrayed by Mariam Alexanian. The maid, Etta, who tried to be a lady, was Eugenia Libby. Roderick White, their son, was Dan jackson and his sweetheart, Veronica Doane, was Mary Taylor. Cyril Skidmore was grand as the blustering G. T. Warren, Maitland's'boss, and Bob Kobs was the bachelor friend of the Whites, Geoffrey Nichols. Arla Parsons and Cynthia Cotes were waiting just behind the curtains just in case. In the hrst part of the play Maitland decided to quit his business and paint with Etta as a model. Rickey became engaged to Ronny Doane and decided not to study architecture abroad as he had planned, but to get married and work for G. T. Warren. Ronny could not bear to see Rickey give up the work he loved, so she broke the engagement only to find the family finances very low. Then G. T. came to the rescue when he saw the portrait of Etta and decided to buy it. Maitland returned to business and Ronny and Rickey were reunited. The play was a sparkling comedy and, of course, no seniors were ever better. All the committees worked very hard, and without that grand stage set, the property, publicity, program, ticket and make-up committees, the play wouldn't have been the success it was. The real success of the play was due to the excellent direction of Mrs. Bruegal. Sincerely, THE Siamon Ci.Ass V1 W . W X . J..

It was a delightful comedy and Miss Wulkow really showed what she could do in directing this fine play. The cast was well chosen and the curtain' went up on Ianuary 12 on a cast of well rehearsed performers. Marilyn Pierson was the youngest daughter of the Reardon family, Penny, who constantly played the piano. Betty Teel played Nana Reardon, the grandmother who was full of life in spite of her years. Nan Morgan and Bill Cruise took the parts of Laura and Reginald Reardon, who were eager for their eldest daughter, Marcia, played by Sally Cuthbert, to make a good marriage. Warry Reardon, their son who loved to write, was played by Dick Collingeg the maid, Essie, was Louise Huddleson. Marcia's fiance, Sherwin Parker, was played by Chuck DeGolia and his parents were Ioanna Astley and Kay Iefferson. Lily Reardon, the surprise guest, was Bette Whistler and Tod Callaway was ably portrayed by Iack Dykstra. When the play opened, Marcia was getting ready for her marriage to Sherwin Parker, and the Parkers were paying the Reardons a visit. Nana Reardon was very much against all the Parkers, and especially against the proposed union of their business and hers. When Laura Reardon sent an invi- tation to the wedding to the black sheep of the family, Lily Reardon, she didn't dream the invitation would be accepted. Therefore, when a Lily did arrive, everyone was very surprised, as no one knew that the girl who came wasn't the Lily to whom the invitation had been sent, but another one. Nana soon found out the truth about Lily, and the two agreed that Lily would act crazy to scare away the Parkers. Lily did just that. Penny's never-ending piano playing, 'Warry's writing of books, and Essie's queer ways helped, too. The exit of the Parkers made the whole family rejoice, especially Marcia, for she had always been in love with Tod Gallaway-. Grandma made the young couple happy by giving Tod a job, and peace once again was in the Reardon household. Of course the play could not have been the success it was without the many efficient committees and the two promptors, Marcia Boyd and Corky Lewis. If you get a chance, please write to me and tell me how you like it way out there in Texas.

With the loss of thirteen seniors, Coach Shaver had to find and polish up new men to fill their positions for the.1943 Football Season. A promising team began to form regardless of no outstanding individual. Because of the war East Lansing could not participate in the Twin Valley League, but managed to acquire a fine schedule. The opening game was slated against Lansing Sexton with our team out for revenge. With nice tackling and hard blocking East Lansing downed Sexton 6-0. During the practice the following week it was evident that the team had let down. The team traveled to Alma where they were walked over by a big Alma team 14-0. Back in the spirit again East Lansing .rolled over an outclassed Eaton Rapids eleven 55-0 on the home gridiron. Failing to score in the first half at Adrian a determined East Lansing eleven came back in the second half to win 20-0. The homecoming game was against Albion, a team which East Lansing had never defeated. East Lansing made history by beating Albion 40-0. Brilliant line play and hard running were the cause of the victory. At Lakeview, Battle Creek, a reoccurrence of the Alma game seemed in sight, but late in the fourth quarter a blocked punt set up the touchdown. The extra point was good and East Lansing eased out a 7-6 victory over Lakeview. The last game of the season was scheduled against Everett High School. Everett had been unde- feated and had won their Capitol Circuit League. East Lansing's offense began to roll and the final score was 35-0 over Everett. A A Reserve Football Team was organized this year for the first time.

Of Wx ,W K p .1 M 'QT1' 3 r ft ghly successful football season the T e'men started from scratch to all around team, because of the loss of the first five players on last year's team due to tion. The Trojans opened their season with a victory over Eaton Rapids 33-22. Iust before Christmas ey lost a hard-fought game to a Class A rival-Lansing Sexton-by a score of 33-25. After the holidays East Lansing came back to whip Eaton Rapids in a 64-17 tilt. Alma, the foot- ball rivals, was victorious over East Lansing in a thrilling 31-30 decision. The cage men from Troy then turned on the smoke and defeated Mt. Pleasant 27-26. East Lansing then smothered Lansing Tech 51-18. Midland was the next foe and the Trojans passed them with a 33-24 score. Still keep- ing in mind the defeat Alma handed them, the Trojans took Alma in an overtime 35-34. Then the men of Troy downed Lansing Sexton with an impressive 25-22 decision. East Lansing next traveled to meet a highly improved Mt. Pleasant five and came back on the short end of 35-30. After downing Williamston, 33-15, and Lansing Tech, 38-22, the Trojans looked forward to the tournaments. East Lansing started off fine with a victory over Howell, 42-34, and another victory over Grand Ledge, 35-33, to become district champs. They met Battle Creek Lakeview at Albion in the 'regionals and downed them 35-23. The Trojan's next game was with Marshall, who had twice eliminated East Lansing from the tournaments in recent years. The Trojans were defeated 44-28 but it was by the team that went. on to be State Champs. All in all the men of Troy had a very successful season with twelve wins and four losses. Like- wise the reserves did a good job with ten victories and two defeats. Trojan men who have played their last basketball game for East Lansing are Richard Iohnson, Merritt Hill, Bill Dunn, Ed Dickinson, jerry Borum, Iack Otto, Bill Atchison, and Rod Alderton. .L .jf , Banda!! Baseball practice started early in the spring and it' wasn't long before the team began to get in shape for the first game against Grand Ledge. The team traveled to Grand Ledge and it looked certain that East Lansing had the game in the bag, but a persistent Grand Ledge team staged a rally and won 6-5 over East Lansing. The next game was scheduled for Lansing Sexton. It was their game, and although Merritt Hill pitched a bang-up game, the Big Reds were too much! Sexton 3, E. L. 0. At Okemos the following week, East Lansing led the way to a 84 victory over Okemos. Going to Howell, the team really began to hit the ball and they came home with a 234 victory over an out-classed Howell team. The new baseball field was initiated the next week when Okemos came here to play. The team was determined to start right the career of the new part and they did by winning 6-0. Eastern had a good squad with a strong pitching staff and although East Lansing put up a bold light, they couldn't overcome the Lansing team. East Lansing 0, Eastern 6. Out at the new park the following week,Eastern repeated herself by beating E. L. 7-0. After the drubbing Howell received on their own Held, they were ready to avenge their defeat. Fate was against them, for the East Lansing team caught them again by defeating them 11-2. The team had its good and bad times, but it managed to break even with four wins and four defeats. 4 '- I -.

Dear Ensign Iane, Remember when you and I were on the Senior Girls Athletic Association Board? It was fun, wasn't it? The girls had just as good a time this year. I want to tell you about their activities, as I know you are interested. The Iunior G. A. A. Board, serving the seventh and eighth grades, met on the first Tuesday of each month, and the Senior Board, composed of members from grades nine through twelve, met on the first Thursday of the month. Each home room elected one member to its board. Of course, the first and foremost duty of each G. A. A. Board is to decide what games are to be played in the girls' intramural sports. The Senior Board chose badminton, table tennis, and basket- ball. In badminton Mary Ellen Wyngarden came out the winner with Nan Ceeley the runner-up. In table tennis Marilyn Pierson won over Sally Pearson. The girls had lots of fun playing the tourna- ments. The Iunior Board decided upon kickbaseball, baseball, and line socker for its games. You know how popular those Hag 'n Stag parties were when you were here? They are still going strong, and one of the best this year was the dance sponsored by the Senior Board. It was held in April for senior high students, and there was a grand turn out of dance enthusiasts. The big event of the year was the Intramural Night on February 29th. It was a sports program in which members of grades nine through twelve participated. There was an exciting basketball game by the girls. We don't get much chance to see what the girls can do in sports, so the game was really a success. There was also an intramural basketball game played by the boys. As there were many exciting events and this was an unusual type of program, it was immensely popular with the students. The end of the school year brought the rewards to the girls who had participated in the intra- mural games. By taking part in these games and other forms of sport outside of school, the girls earned points. Those who had earned 600 points were given a small E. L. letter. Those with 1200 points received a silver pin, and 1800 points earned a gold pin. This ended the activities of the two G. A. A. Boards this year. Please write to me soon and tell me how you are enjoying the navy. Always, One of the G. A. A. Gals r r ,, P, '70 1 QL .

Eaaacfoffbhecfau Dear Sally, This year has really been a busy one for everyone in the school as there are many organizations in which the students participate. One of the most important is the Board of Directors. It is a group of students and faculty members which meets to manage and direct the activities finances of the school. If a club or organization wishes to raise money, it must submit its plans to the board for approval. Each month the status of the school funds is examined and necessary adjust- ments are then made. The Board of Directors works with the Student Council and School Board in the matters of finance and acts as a connecting'link between the two. Each year the Board plans a budget for the next year, appropriating money for the sports program and other activities. The budget is then submitted to the Board of Education for its consideration and approval. In the fall of .each year Activities Tickets are sold, which help to defray the expenses of the school activities. The balance of the needed money is appropriated by the School Board. You remember the Activities Tickets are those tickets which can be bought by the students and which admit them to various activities in the school. The amount paid for the tickets is less than the amount which would be spent by paying for each item separately. The chairman of the board was Mr. Cooke and the secretary was Bette Whistler. Mr. Graper and Mr. Fuller were the other faculty members. The board met once a month on Thursday. Yours truly, ANN P. S. I'll be looking for a letter from you telling about your WASP training. Hi ya Iackson! I certainly am glad to hear from you. I thought I would write you during my study period today. I hope you are nailing plenty of those laps. You might kill a couple for me if you have some spare time. Our school is hitting on all four cylinders, especially the Student Council which is really cooking with gas. The Student Council has sponsored many highflass ideas and pep assemblies. The pep assemblies and swell cheer leaders have helped school morale an awfully lot, especially in the snake dance and bonhre before the Sexton football game. After many games we held school victory dances, including the Homecoming Dance, that were really zoot. I know you will be glad to hear that the Student Council sponsored a bond and stamp drive that scraped us clean of thirty thousand dollars. This was over ten thousand more than the quota set for us. A slick paper drive netted three hundred and seventy dollars. This splendid council has also provided a phone booth for the students, awarded citizenship cups to Ioann Dodge and Craig Britton, and has taken a vote on the time change. The students were really on the beam when they elected Burt Edelson president, Betty Whistler vice-president, Pat Hunt secretary, and Eugenia Libby vice-secretary to the Student Council for this year. As usual the council has two sponsors. This year they are Mr. Fuller and the principal, Mr. Cooke. No doubt, fella, you remember the impressive Mr. Fuller when you took physics and algebra. Well, it's time to wind up this little letter except to say that we're behind you one-hundred per- Cent and to wish you all the good luck in the world. Yours for vicory and peace, TROIAN WINTON W .fidaafuf Siajj Dear Toby, ' Here I am still trying to figure out how the Library Staff keeps tract of all the books that are literally thrown down on the desk in front of them. It's really remarkable. Miss Dooley supervises the group and Ilene Briggs is the president with Sally Pierson acting as vice-president. Nan Ceeley takes a pencil and jots down all the work of the organization and does a fine job as secretary. As a rather traditional thing, all of the staff went through the Wagenvoord Book-binding Company. The tour proved to be very interesting for everyone concerned. ' The meetings of the staff were held on Thursdays, and everyone discussed the new books and various matters of importance that came up. When the time came for cataloging all the new books, I don't see how they did it. There were so many of them, but in just a few days all were filed and placed in their right places on the shelves. Honestly, I just have to stand in awe at the students that handle that library. By the way, when do you suppose you'll be going to Pre-Hight?

We made lots of them as part of our service project. We also finished our quilt that we started last year for a needy family. It looks grand, and I'm sure it will come in handy for whoever receives it. We contributed to the Needlework Guild of America last fall when it had its annual drive. The members of the club brought new clothes and we had many boxes full to take to the Guild. When Christmas came the members had a -good time painting toy cars, guns, and elephants for the Red Stocking Club. This was one of the best meetings and something really worthwhile was accomplished. After the painting was completed, refreshments were served to top off the meeting. I wish you could have seen the girls all sitting around laughing over the cartoons they brought to school. These cartoons which were clipped out of magazines were pasted in snap-scrapbooks for soldiers in hospitals. I hope the men get as much enjoyment out of them as we did. You probably think that all we did was work, but we had some good times, too. The first social event of the year was the annual bohemian given by the old members for the new members. After the delicious meal we sang songs and welcomed the new girls. Three highlights of the year were the talks given by a WAC, a WAVE, and a registered nurse who spoke on the U. S. Cadet Nurse Corps. They told the girls about the branches of service and answered the many questions everyone had about women in the service of their country. I do hope you can come and talk to us when you come to Lansing. The club did something this year that it has not done before. When the local drive was on for clothing for Russian Relief, the girls pitched in and gathered all the good warm clothes they could find. You would have been amazed if you could have seen what was gathered. It took three cars to carry it all to the center of the drive. One of the outstanding events of every year has been the Mother-Daughter Tea and this year was no exception. The committees worked very hard and the result was perfect. The tea was enjoyed by mothers and daughters alike. The annual eagerly awaited formal dance was held near graduation this year instead of in the spring because the Senior Prom was changed to the time when the Girl Reserve formal is usually held. In spite of this change the dance went over with a bang and was enjoyed by all. It put the final touches on the social doings for the year. The club was very capably led to higher goals this year by Miss Dorothy Stophlet and Miss Helen Campbell, our advisers, and the following oHicers: ICANN Donors, president NAN Ceunv, vice president JANET MITCHELL, secretary IUDY LONGNECKER, treasurer Dono'rHY Horn and MARILYN ADAMS, Interclub Council members IOAN BAiutow, service chairman BARBARA Cuimss, music chairman ANN VAN Sxcxua, program chairman MARGIE MOONE, publicity chairman ARLA PARSONS, worship chairman Sincerely, E. L. H. S. So-w-i'YJe Uk- O Q omegcdnanuc' 61446 xx , 'Q-I N? Dear Peggy, ' This school year certainly has been an accomplishing one for our Home Economics Club. Barbara Rowley, the president, called a meeting of the old members the week after school started and began making plans for the way they could torture the new members during the initiation. You might have known that you would see many oddities at school on one day the next week and we certainly did. Many girls walked around the halls completely mute with large twelve inch ribbons in their hair, a bag of candy in one hand, and a paper and pencil for signatures in the other. The finale was kicking the football over the goal-post and scrubbing the stairway with tooth brushes, then, at last, the girls were Senior members of the Home Economics Club. These new people raised the membership to seventy-five, the largest it has ever been. When the dues drive started, an agreement was made that two teams should be formed and the losing team would have to have a bohemian for the winners. This proved to be very prohtable to many people who paid their dues early. The first big event for the Club was the formal, Dreamer's Delight, with music furnished by Red Drennan's orchestra and was under the guidance of Ioan Barrow who was the general-chairman. The formal turned out to be a huge success and had the largest attendance ever before attained. The work of the Club was all enjoyable for everyone, and they had a grand time when they took up the Red Cross work. They made slippers for the wounded soldiers who are in hopitals here in America, and all hoped that the boys got as much pleasure in wearing them as the girls did in making them. Some of the Saturday night dances, which were so much fun for everyone, would not have been possible had it not been for the Home Ec. Club. They sponsored them, found chaperons, furnished records for the play-back, and decorated the gymnasium so that all of us would have a good time. In March they sponsored the Bond Ball which had a great turnout and helped the war effort along greatly because all the proceeds went toward War Savings. Last, but not least in the year's program was the choosing of the new officers for the coming year. We all realized that Barbara Rowley, president, Mary Reniger, vice-president, Rosemary Trager, treasurerg and Marilyn Pierson, secretary, did a grand job this year. We sincerely hope that all the coming years for the Home Economics Club will be as grand and glorious as this year has been. As always, JUDY Tnopm P. S.

The 1943-44 war problems-were pretty hard on the high school debate teams. Many schools were forced to drop debate entirely, the reason being a lack of transportation facilities. Here in East Lansing debating was changed from a class to a club. The club met three times a week after school. Mr. Olsen, debate club instructor, was well pleased with the squad he had, however. There were four veterans from previous years of debate, already to start their senior year. George Bullen, Fay Ola Foltz, Mar Iean Kettenun, and Lou Somers composed the two starting teams. Some prom- ising newcomers were Iean Fagan, Ellen Goldstick, Fred Fabian, and Bill Wise. The topic to be debated on for the year was finally composed by the national committee. The subject dealt with the same vital topic that the debaters had discussed the year before, post war peace problems. The ques- tion read, Resolved: That the United States should join in reconstituting the League of Nations. The club members were glad to have the opportunity to work on another post war problem. They had begun to see from their studies how important the correct steps in the making of the peace are to the world. A short time later troubles began popping up. War times had slowed to a standstill information usually received by mail. With so many activities pressing them, many debaters found it impossible to attend debate three times a week after school. The real blow to the debate team came, when the father draft took Mr. Olsen, debate instructor, and good friend, away. Miss MacDonald, English and history teacher, graciously took on the extra duty of debate coach. Two practice debates were held at Lansing Eastern, both of which East Lansing attended. East Lansing also debated before Mr. Geisenhoff of the Michigan State College Speech Departmentg he gave valuable criticisms. The first regular tournament debate of the year was held in Iackson at the Iackson High School, December 2. Fay Ola Foltz and George Bullen debating for East Lansing on the negative won two debates. The first was from Ann Arbor, the second, from Iackson. The affirmative team from East Lansing composed of Mar Iean Kettunen and Lou Somers lost two debates, one to Lansing Eastern and one to Iackson. The affirmative side of the case proved to be the naturally harder side of the question to debate, however. After this debate, East Lansing withdrew from the tournament debates. War time curtailments and too many other activities decided this move. The rest of the year was spent in occasional meetings, in which the debaters worked on their speaking effectiveness.

Here are some of the activities that the club paricipated in this year. In the past years the Mother and Dad's Club has sponsored the Annual Football Banquet. This year the Varsity Club gave it. It was a huge success and everybody had a swell time. We had a fine meal with a program afterwards. We had many bohemians during the year with all the members of the club being assigned various dishes to bring. Boy, did we eatl Every year we have our annual party. This year we had a delicious dinner at the high school and then went over to lack Otto's house to dance. Naturally there were girls. Coach actually let up and danced with some of them. Hard to believe, isn't it? During the basketball season the members of the Varsity Club 2lCt as ushers. The idea is to keep things in order. Our initiations are rather stiff but each boy always manages to get through it all in one piece. By the way, the oflicers for this year are Craig Britton, president, lack Otto, vice president, Iohn Hunt, secretary and treasurer. I hope news of the old club will somehow help you in your far off place behind the big guns. Sincerely, IOHN TROJAN 505311 my va fi We lf? wr Q an qw Aw, , We szm name, i . Dear Cadet Nurse Adams: Remember how we talked of what an asset a Iunior Girl Reserve club for girls of the ninth and tenth grades would be to the school? One has been organized since you left and this year it was really going strong. I know you'll be interested in the doings of the club as it is one of the newest and best organizations in the school. The first big event of the year was the initiation of the new members and a bohemian given by the old members for them. Everyone got acquainted at the bohemian and the new girls were made welcome. After the club was organized for business this year, the girls began to work in earnest. The club did many worthwhile things. The activity that was really lots of fun was making stuffed animals for the children's ward of St. Lawrence Hospital. The toys were just darling when they were finished, and the girls were very proud of them. The club also packed boxes at Christmas time for the sol- diers at Fort Custer. Into the boxes went such things as socks, shaving cream, ties, candy, and cookies. T During the year entertaining programs were mixed in with the working meetings. One of the best was a talk on boy and girl relations given by Elizabeth Lowry. The interesting talk was en- joyed by all the club members and they hope she can come back again soon. One of the busiest times this year for the Ir. Girl Reserves was at Christmas. The girls made wreaths for the impressive ceremony, The Hanging of the Greens, at the Young Woman's Christian Association building. At that time the Y.W.C.A. was decorated for the holiday season with all shapes and descriptions of greens. February 25 and 26 were the dates this year for the Girl Reserve Conference in Grand Rapids. This is the time when Girl Reserves from the cities in this part of the state meet and get acquainted. It is always lots of fun and the lucky girls to go were Iane Hootman, Ioan Allen, Barbara McCullagh, and Mary Ellen Wyngarden. The first party of the year was a dance held after school for the girls of the club. Everyone had a grand time. On March 15th the Ir. Reserves sponsored a dance for the whole high school. It was a Hag, Stag, 'n Drag affair and it was a real success. The club had two fine advisers this year, Miss Iohnson and Miss Findley. They chose an excel- lent president, Iane Hootman, and the following oHicers: MARY MUssI:LMAN, vice president BARBARA MCCULLAGH, secretary Ewlsn MITCHELL, treasurer JOAN ALLEN and MARILYN MUSSELMAN, Interclub Council members ANITA WELLMAN, program chairman MARY ELLEN WYNGARDEN, social chairman CAROLYN ROBBINS, service chairman NANCY HOPE, symbols chairman NANCY DECKER and HONEY VANDERVOORT, music chairmen VIRGINIA BAUER, finance chairman JOAN Vorcr, publicity chairman BARBARA FINNEY, door tender I, I, .

They did work on the citizenship awards and'questions pertaining to the junior high. They also worked under a parliamentary procedure with Mrs. Rogers and Miss MacDonald supervising. Bill Rosecrans was the president of the group and Virginia Stoddard was chosen as vice president. The one who did all the writing and collected the pecunia, in other words acting as secretary and treasurer, was Ann Lundin. It worked out line for everyone and you could really see an im- provement around school as a result of the organization.

We saw the preview Of The Easy Way, written by that . . . playwrilc. Cyril Skid- more, starring that whistling hunk of a man, George William Thomas Bullen. lt lacked a unified plot, but the strutting and crooning satisfied one-half the crowd and the women the other. One of them was also an E. L. H. S. grad. Ginny Prall. very slinky in a black iobg reminded me of the one she had in '44, only a bit more so. The music was grand and introduced a start- ling'number, 'Bloody Blues, which is sure to make the Hit Parade. The entire musical score was composed by lack Ferris.

The sets and drops are the original designs of that famous stage designer, Bob Martin. Ioann Dodge. famous since she stood in for Lily Pons, has a fine part. That plus the exceptional ballet work done by that famed danseuse Genia Libbie makes this outstanding . . . plus the startling addition to the stage and dancing profession, Dan Iackson. The Libbie-Iackson modern-primitive number was hailed by the dance critic, Karl Aven, of the New York Times, as being revolu- tionary in the art of dance. Karl, by the way, spends half the years reporting the Detroit Tigers' progress in all syndicate col- umns. This includes Roger Courtney's Ballmerfr Newsheet which he is publishing with his co-partner, Margo Greene. I will never get over Margo playing Scarlet, in the revival of Gone with the Wind. 1 , I was interested in hearing that, Big Bill Atchison is going to play tackle for the Bears.

Another advertising on the radio is Frannie Webb. Frances' Success Course guarantees to grow you up three inches a year. Suing her for breach of promise is Barbara Penfield, housewife, who insists she grew only ZZ inches. Speaking of short ones, Dorothy Reddy is still corresponding with M. Baggot Hill.

She raised them in a solution of Alkaseltzer and red Carter Little Liver Pills. Dick Howell is the Charles Boyer of the day, starring in the recent road show, Dull, Drab, and Strictly from Hunger or Marry Me, Mary, Before I Starve.

And as for Shilson, she's wearing out more shoe leather dancing to the Dirty Boogie, at The Tropics.

If you remember, there was a stiff race between Crosby, Sinatra, and Kobs, but our man Bob came through on top. Ralph Winton is the ranking Hollywood stylist.
