S. fContinued from page 23j subject were invited to attend occasionally. One of the most interesting of these pro- grams was given by Frances Gonzoles, a student at Phillips University, who is from Old Mexico, who sang Mexican songs and talked about native costume dress, young people's customs, and education in that coun- ffy. Bravettes This year the Bravettes were as active an organization as usual. In spite of losing both their sponsors, Miss Margaret Kruse who went into the WAVES, and Mrs. Abercrom- bie who joined her husband who is in the Armed Forcesg the Bravettes carried on a program of great activity, highlighted by their ever-successful annual football assembly. This year, besides the usual burlesque on a football game, the club gave an inside story on what happens in the boys' dressing room before a game, with girls taking the parts of all the Senior football squadmen, the coaches, and the Senior managers. Also, along with the usual pep leading and enthusiasm they lend to every football and basketball game, they participated at the half-time with the band in stunts. Luther Burbank Flower and Garden The predominating idea of the Luther Burbank Flower and Garden Club this year was to teach the love of flowers, good land- scaping methods, and how to grow food in victory gardens. Regular meetings were held every other Monday during class, and the fifteen members, under the sponsorship of Mr. Merle Boyer, also made field trips, studied landscaping, growing plants in green- houses, and victory gardensg and each mem- ber is now growing his own victory garden. The club won third place in the State Meet of the Oklahoma Iunior Academy of Science, held at Stillwater, with exhibits which were based on botanical specimens. Biology-Taxidermy Every Monday afternoon right after school until five o'clock, the thirty-five members of the Biology-Taxidermy Club met and work- ed. The outstanding event of the year was winning the Sweepstakes Award at the State Meet of the Oklahoma Iunior Academy of Science. The winning display was an animal exhibit in patriotic colors. The prize money was used to buy a zoological chart for the biology classes. Iohn Kumli, a state officer, presided at this meeting. The classes this year have built up the museum part of the department and also collected numerous new specimens. lone Phelps won honorary membership in the American Association for the Advance- ment of Science, and was selected as the outstanding girl scientist from Oklahoma. Trade and lndustrial Meeting in B-7 at nine thirty on the first Monday of every month, the Trade and Industrial Club, more widely known as the T. and I. Club, in its fourth year in Enid THE QUILL MAGAZINE High School, boasted a membership of forty- five students who spent three hours or more a day working in some downtown store or shop, and in addition, took a two-hour course in directly informative and indirectly in- formative classes at school. Twenty-five of these students were enrolled in a Retail Sell- ing Class under the sponsorship of Mr. Perry McCoy and the remainder in a class of Diversified Occupations under Mr. T. A. Kennedy. Their annual Employer-Employee Banquet was held February 10, for the thirty firms and the students working with the T. and I. Altogether, this club has proved to be one of the most instructive in the school. Hi-Y. W. One of the most popular girls' organiza- tions and one holding a high place in Enid High SchQol's tradition of service and fun is the Hi-Y. W. Meeting every other Mon- day under the leadership of Miss Marie Ward, the club had a great number of activ- ities, among which was the making of com- forts for the Christmas baskets. Also an afghan was made for the Red Cross. On the invitation of the Y.W.C.A., the club visited there and were given a talk by Mrs. Iva Light on the History of the Y.W.C.A. On another visit, they heard an interesting talk by an international Y.W.C.A. worker from China. Besides these various activities several parties were held at their meetings during the year. Student Council By Lois TURNER The Student Council of 1942-43 was kept in a continuous whirl by the numerous activ- ities which it sponsored. President Robert Miller, '43, ably presided over all meetings during the year, appointing committees, and keeping things in order in general. As has been the custom throughout the history of the Council, all meetings are held in order by parliamentary rule. The office of Vice-President was held by Leon Simmons, Allison Benge was Treasurer, and Lois Turner, Secretary. Miss Margaret Edwards, Sponsor, advised the Council on many items as they came up. Her previous experience with this organization was help- ful in efficiently carrying on the government of the school. Members consisted of representatives elect- ed by the Home Rooms who were placed on various committees which carried on the main part of the work. Reports were given at each meeting by the chairmen. At the first of the year in September a Know-Your-Home-Room Contest was spon- sored. Eree tickets to the All-School Play, Lease On Liberty' were given to all winners. In November the Council conducted a scrap-metal drive. With the students' hearty co-operation, one hundred dollars worth of metal was sold to the Government which boosted the balance in the treasury con- siderably. In accordance with the suggestion of the fContinued on page 63j

Since that time, her students have handed themselves into a veritable 'iarniyn of defense and have helped defeat the enemy by heaping up fifteen tons of scrap material---fold hair curlers, inner-tubes, flat irons, hot water tanks, model 'Ts and what have youj as well as purchasing 551,125 in defense stamps during the period from lvlareh 15-lvlarch 25. Stamps have been on sale in the office throughout the year, and students have done nobly in buying them. Nine hundred dollars of this 551,125 went toward buying a jc-ep . ln an assembly on April lf, the first three tickets to the Senior play were sold at auction for a total of 55249, defense stamps being given to the buyer according to the amount of his purchase. This phase of the school's defense program is perhaps one of the most outstanding in that it shows the studentis willingness to put much of his material wealth into the elfort. In addition to material contributions, Enid High offered new, vital classes such as Phy- sicial Fitness for all boys, Pre-Flight, Electric- ity, and several outside classes. Among these were Civilian Air Patrol, First Air, a class promoted by the National Youth Adminis- tration to which twenty-five Seniors availed themselves on evenings and Saturdays, and she has given fifty students to the armed forces during the '42-'43 term. Due to a shortage of labor in all types of industry and business in the city, hundreds of high school students found themselves answering calls to work in stores, businesses, industries far in excess of any previous demands for stu- dent part-time workers. The office was show- ered with calls for girls to work in homes and to assist with the evening care of chil- dren. Fifteen Senior girls began a training course for Southwestern Bell Telephone Company late in February, '43, and will work full time starting Iune il. Elsewhere in the book is found the story of the eliective Trade and lntlustrial working force now in this school and communitv for the fourth vear. ln addition to these manv things linid High School has lent her rooms and instruc- tors to a program of adult vocational educa- tion under the supervision of Nlr. DeVVitt VValler and T. A. Kennedy which has in- cluded: 1 l. Classes in Blueprint Reading, taught bv lvlyrl Kirk, The students of these classes have found much worth in the course, in that 50 ,, of them are now employed in war work. lncirlentally, the Wloodwork classes under hflr. Kirk have built over four hundred tuodel planes for army aircraft identification classes. These all have passed government inspection. 2. Two classes in Radio and one in hlath for electricians taught hy XYalter Hunter, l.ester Youngman. and Cilarence liarlver, re- spectively. 3. A class in lioremanship taught by Nlr. Cf. K. Lovelace from Oklahoma Gas and lilectrie Company. 4. Two classes in Safetv lfducation with lirank Thomas from Oklahoma Natural Cias Company as instructor. 5. A class in lndustrial Accounting under V. O. hlarshall. 6. A class in Cost and Industrial Ac- counting with Lyall Young as instructor. 7. Engineering Drawing, an advanced course, taught by Ray Brown.
