PEI CI.UB The Pe Club, com osed of irls who are interested in the . P. . .P 3 . . . sports activities in which the school participates, is a newly- formed or anization. It was or anized last fall b scveral senior . 3 . . g V girls, and it is now recognized as one of the more popular groups, since it has done much to instill school spirit among students. Not only does the Pep Club arouse school spirit among students and aid the G Club in its undertakings, but it has become an important part of our social life. On December 16 the club held a very successful program dance at which more than one hundred guests were in attendance. It is expected that this dance, since it proved so popular, will become an annual dance. The girls, each displaying the badge, a red ribbon, inspire school loyalty by their group attendance at the various sports events and their genuine enthusiasm for all things athletic. GIRLS' FIELD HUCKEY Girls in mere wisps of blue shorts and white shoes run back and forth on a field between two white goal posts. To the un- observing watcher it would seem that this game is merely a hodge-podge of motion with little or no point. However, closer observation will reveal a basic form beneath each move- ment, a form which is retained throughout the game. Consisting of two teams of eleven players each, three full- backs, two wings, three half-backs, three forwards, and a goalie, the game is played with the point of knocking the ball inside the goal territory. The goalie is the most important player on the field, for it is her duty to allow no ball to pass the goal line. An enervating, enthusiastic game, field hockey is probably one of our permanent activities. STUDENT CUUNCII As a school increases in size, student participation in ad- ministrative matters is often desirable. For this purpose the student council was organized in the early fall of the current year. The body consists of twenty-one members, students whose scholastic record is above average. Regular meetings are held on the first and third Monday of each month. These meetings are given over to the discussion and oftentimes the solution of student problems. Two students from each class are selected as members, the class officers automatically become membersg and one member is selected from the entire student body by the principal. The members of this group are made to realize that the student couneiI's success depends entirely upon the courage and open-mindedness with which student problems are conducted by its personnel.

SEPTEMBER: Dear Diary: Sept. I-The freshmen enrolled today. What a curious looking spectacle. Sept. 4. I stepped in on the first faculty meeting today. Vaca- tion was a grand thing for those teachers. How cheerful they were. Sept. 6. That cheerfulness has begun a fade-out in the face of long assignments. It looks as if this might be our busy year. Sept. 8. There was relaxation today, Diary, in the form of a social hour. I hadn't realized the great number of jitter-bugs among us. Sept. 15-Oh, so hot today! just as I was utterly wilted, Mr. Moore announced, No more school today. Sept. 18-A treat today, Diary. The freshmen were initiated. Ozzie's nerve was better than his voice. Sept. 2l'P1'll'- don the frog in my throat, Diary. Our first pep meeting was held today. Sept. 22-Diary, dear, nothing stimulates school spirit like a rip-roaring football game such as we had today with Warren-a 6 to 6 finish. Sept. 26-I joined the Pep Club which was organized this morning. Now watch for an improvement in school spirit. Sept. 29-Diary, I'm blue. We should have beaten McHenry to- day. Instead they took us to the tune of 13 to 0. Now ain't that disgustin'? Be seeing you next month! OC TOBER: Dear Diary: Oct. 6-Another football game today-a 13 to 7 defeat at the hands of St. Mary's. Maybe I'll get used to it. Oct. 11-This afternoon I at- tended the Ray Binder dramatic program. Very impressive and unusual. Oct. 12-The senior weiner roast was a most enjoyable affair-a romantic campfire and all that goes with it. Oct. 14-No one can say we didn't do the five towns today in the home-coming parade. Then a doughnut and cider reception! Oct. 19- This is a trifle late for a Fire Prevention Week program, but Mr. Ryan's safety speech was interesting. Oct. 20-We had a good time in clothing class today. Miss Zachary, Eunice, and Marge attended the Home Ee. Convention in Chicago. Diary, I'm for bigger and better conventions about once a week. Oct. 24-At- tended the hard-times Halloween party tonight. More cider and doughnuts! I believe Bob and Dubby really have a case. Oct. 25-Attended Northbrook's home-coming today and saw the Bulldogs take it on the chin again, 7 to 6. Oct. 26-Hay! Hay! Bales of it! The WLS show kept me up till all hours. just give me a guitar and a sombrerol
