French Club OFFICERS Jeanne Bills ------ President Edward Bouck - - - Vice President Maude Alice Graham ---- Secretary Alex Funtukis ----- Treasurer Le Cercle Francais, under the able leadership of our new teacher, Miss Gass, and president, Jeanne Bills, has had an outstanding year in 1940-1941. The Initiation Banquet led the parade of events for the season. The new French students who wished to become members of the club were first required to learn certain important things about French history and also a few songs and dances. When this was accomplished, a scavenger hunt was held, followed by the banquet. The Mardi Gras, sponsored by the club with the cooperation of the other organizations, was perhaps the most distinctive project of the year. It was the second annual celebration of its kind ever to be held in Grand Ledge High School and proved to be even more successful than the preceding one. The year's activities were terminated by the an- nual Farewell Banquet for the Seniors. Social Improvement Club The Social Improvement Club was organized in order to help the students to make a better school along social lines. We had planned to teach those who wished to learn to dance. We also meant to teach good sportsmanship and etiquette. We elected as our officers: Jo Ann Flint ----- President Eleanor Shepard - - Vice President Mary Lou Nott - - Secretary-Treasurer We also chose a board of four members so as to get a wider viewpoint on the topics we brought up to discuss. Our board members were as follows: Lorraine Morris, Maude Alice Graham, Nancy Wilkinson, Shirley Marzean Twenty-seven

Grand Ledge Band Has A n Outstanding Y e a r This year the band, under the capable lead- ership of its new director, Mr. Charles Yates, has been perhaps the most active organization in the school system. Starting the year off with a bang, they played and marched at all of the home football games, making many formations which showed a great deal of work and effort. Among the formations were the Hello , the block G , the Comet , the Horseshoe , an H honoring Hastings and Hillsdale, and a C honoring Charlotte. They added much needed pep to the team and the rooters. . Besides the football games, they added greatly to a number of Booster Day gatherings, and the Free Fall Festival. They also played a concert at Eagle. After the very active marching season was completed, a campaign for new uniforms was started. lt was decided that a series of con- Twenty-eight. Third Row-R.

The concerts proved to be a great success, featuring such guest artists as Mr. Albin John- son, Miss Betty Correll, Mr. Carlton Eldridge, and Miss Elizabeth Bush. The crowning event of the series, however, was the appearance of the band in their new uniforms at the third concert, February I9, l94l. The band has played at many outside con- certs, including the Olivet Band Festival, the Benton Harbor Blossom Festival and one at the School for the Blind, Lansing. The success of the band is due not only to the players but to the parents and townspeople who have cooperated and stood behind it as well.
