CUMMERCIAL CLUB All members of the commercial department, a large and active unit, are included in the Commercial Clubg consequent- ly, it is a large organization. It is assumed that students in this department are the potential business leaders of the near future and the activities of the group are planned in such a way that the student will become a more thorough and efficient worker in the business world. W'hile the ultimate goal of these individuals is business proficiency, it cannot be said that their endeavor is all drudgery. Each year they offer an evening of wholesome fun at their carnival. Their Christmas party is an occasion for festive en-- tertainment and the exchange of gifts. Their dances are always joyous affairs. The corps of ofhcers consists of George Renehan, presidentg Robert Ritter, vice presidentg and Emil Hospodar, secretary and treasurer. THE CLUB Since its inception among the club organizations, the G Club has been one of the most active and influential of the high school clubs. Its membership is drawn from the ranks of varsity letter men. These boys through various social functions have raised funds for the purchase of new basketball suits for the current season. Each year their activity has been centered upon the addition of new equipment for the department of athletics. The organization has done much to instill within its mem- bers ideals of fellowship and cooperative activity. The successful management of the club during the present year has been due to the efforts of an efiicient corps of officers, consisting of Eugene Koch, presidentg Bill Zeigler, vice-presi- dent, and Billy Walk, secretary-treasurer.

RA.A The major purpose of the G. A. A. is to stimulate interest in girls' ath- letics and to promote higher ideals of health and sportsmanship. These girls besides winning awards, learn to work with their teammates, follow directions and rules, and develop alertness. Experience in cooperation and fellowship is also provided. To become a member of the organization, a girl must earn 100 points by becoming a playing member of a team. The captainship of a team entails extra credit points. When a girl has earned 400 points, she is awarded her numerals. After earning 600 points, she receives her letter. A medal is the reward for earning 1000 points. Baseball, tennis, hockey, and basketball are the sports in which the girls may participate. Swimming parties and social events are provided for entertainment, and meetings are held regularly throughout the year. The local club, consisting of forty members, is affiliated with the State or- ganization. Alberta Kanthack is the club president, and Irene DeLaby is secre- tary-treasurer. Miss Ruth Anselm is faculty adviser. HUME ECUNUMICS The Home Economics Club, an all-girl organization, is one of our largest club groups. All girls who are regularly enrolled in sewing or cooking classes are eli- gible for membership. One of the high lights on our social celendar is the annual Mother-Daughter Banquet, which is managed and financed entirely by the girls of this department. The display of interesting proiects and the style show given each year as a part of the open house program are the results of the cooperative efforts of these girls. With Miss Zachary as adviser, Alberta Kanthack as president, Eunice Molidor as vice-president, and Marjorie Kirk as secretary, the club thrives under able management. IUURNALISM CLUB In its second year, the Journalism Club has advanced in both membership and ability. With Jane George, editor-in-chief, Kathleen Pearson, city editor, LaVerne Lipka, club editor, and Signe Olsen, society editor, the club has made a place for itself in Grantis busy activity life. The club has contributed a page to the Waukegan News-Sun each Week. Leaders in community life have been interviewed and publicized, and all school news has been printed on that page. In Mr. Orr of the faculty and Mr. McNearny of the News-Sun staff, the club has had excellent counsel.
