THE BOOSTER 19 MASOMA CLUB HIT AND MISS The Masoma Club is an honorary club for girls who have an average of B, and who are in English V or above, It is one of the most active clubs in the school. The members of this club are known to the freshman girls as their Masoma Sisters. They do everything they can to enable the new girls to become better acquainted among themselves and with the school. The Masoma Club not only does this but it also acts as messen- gers for the office and furnishes quite a bit of the service in the lunch room. However, it isn ' t all work and no play, for the Masoma girls have diversions through parties, hikes and picnics. Each semester, a series of parties are given for the freshman girls. THE ROINES CLUB The Roines Club, sponsored by Miss Knox, considers its business to consist of helping fellow students in a brotherly attitude, backing all kinds of school activities and doing all possible good for the school. About the work of helping fellow students, very little is known for that is done individually by each member of the club. Last fall at the foot- ball games, members of the club car- ried small megaphones and assisted the yell leaders in leading the yells. Although in that way the yelling was improved, it was felt that this did not hit the mark, so the Booster Club was organized through the ef- forts of the Roines Club to install pep, in the rooters behind all of Manual ' s activities. On the night of the Alumni dinner and dance, given in the new building, the Roines Club with the help of their sponsor, gave free plates to the football and basket- ball teams. The club also holds a Freshman Track Meet every year and awards medals for all firsts. This costs a large sum of money, but the club is reimbursed by the members selling pictures of the athletic teams, reporting school notes to the papers, and by the club dues.
