67' I Re erve Introducing El Dorado High Schoolls largest organization, the Girl Reserves, which was composed this year of 175 girls. G. R. has contributed much to the spiritual and soc- ial life of the school and community during the past nine months. The year started off with a grand get-acquainted party for all members. At Thanksgiving time the G. R. joined with the Hi-Y in sponsoring the bringing of food and the delivery of baskets to twenty-one needy families. The next activity was the annual Christmas party at which a group of underprivileged children were entertained. In February every one joined in the exchange of Valentine lovenotes with friends and classmates. The climax of the social year arrived March tenth when the Mother and Daughter banquet was held and pronounced a great success. In January eight girls attended the Conference at Augus- ta and came home brimming over with new ideas. Throughout the year the G. R. with the Hi-Y sold candy or refreshments at school and at athletic events. The G. R. enjoyed many fine weekly meetings, readings, instrumental and vocal solosg panel discussions, guest speakers, and sing-togethers both alone and with the Hi-Y. This sum- mer as in the past the G. R. will help pay the expenses of a small group of its mem- bers who will enjoy a week at Camp Wood. CABINET MEMBERS President .............. Peggy Rae Fite Vice President ............

HH' ' During this year sixty boys pledged themselves to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character by join- ing the Hi-Y. This group of boys have met weekly for programs. Various speakers have told things Worth while on numerous subjects. In several meetings, the boys dis- cussed such timely subjects as community betterment, Christian attitude toward aliens, Pan-American relations, and manners. Other programs were made up of music and light entertainment. VVe have enjoyed several social activities, such as a chili feed with a party and group attendance at a show. But the oustanding social activity of the year was the sweet- heart's banquet on February 14. Together with the G. R. the Hi-Y as a service pro- ject distributed baskets to needy families at Thanksgiving time. Each year during summer vacation the El Dorado H-Y sends representatives to Camp Wood near Elmdale, Kansas. There the boys learn how to assume leadership in their club and community. They have good times participating in varied outdoor sports, including boating, swimming, tennis and horseback riding. The club was represented at several conferences during the school year. The pur- pose of these conferences is to train officers and to aid the boys in character develop- ment. Every organization must have funds to operate. The Hi-Y and G. R. cooperated in sales of candy, sandwiches, coffee, etc., at games, parties and in corridors. The officers for the year were the following: President Charles Fullinwiderg vice-president and program chairman, Ross Laybourng secretary, James Coffmang treasurer, John Oliverg devotions chairman, Bob Reigleg social service chairman, Bob Dickg world brotherhood chairman, Ross Walkerg and publicity chairman, Charles McCa1ter. Mr. E. G. Dick and Mr. Allen Shaffcr were our faithful sponsors.
