V. S. Grant MEMOIRS Page 29 vice-president; Helen Binford, secretary, and Lorene Christenson, treasurer. We had an interesting meeting and discussed our plans for the party held February 27 in the orchestra room of the gym. February 27, the Girl Reserve Frolic was held. To this party were invited all the girls in the school who might be interested in becoming members. Our program consisted of remarks by the president; a skit to show what it means to be a Girl Reserve, reading and musical numbers. We adjourned early to go to the Newberg basketball game. Our new club wishes to extend, through “Memoirs,” an invitation to any girl in Grant High School who wishes to join this branch of our world-wide organization. —Helen Binford, Secretary. The Room Representatives cm HEN tickets are to be sold, who sells them? When money is to V ll be collected, who collects it? When announcements are to be made, who makes them? And when subscriptions for “Memoirs” are to be secured who secures them? The Room Representatives! The office of Room Representative is a responsible one. There are many duties one has, and many things which must be done on time. The Room Representatives have been very helpful in all things at Grant. The football team relied upon them to sell tickets and encourage students to come to games. The student body, in order to sell their tickets of membership and establish an organization, called on the Representatives to help them. And when we wanted subscriptions for the magazine, this same group of active students helped us. In fact, this issue would not have been a financial success had it not been for their enthusiastic support. Then, too, the boy or girl who represents his room is greatly honored. He is elected from a large group of pupils as the one his classmates think most worthy to represent them. Just as carefully as the ancient Romans chose capable leaders to solve their weighty problems do these registration members select their leader. What a great honor to daily represent thirty or forty hopeful, earnest, wide-awake Grant students! The staff of “Memoirs” feels greatly indebted to these students and wishes to thank them. The Room Representatives for this term are: Clifford Payne Bennie Johnson Malcolm Mitchell Bert McCoy Eugene Tarbell Elizabeth Bunch Jerry McDonald Marguerite Tarbell John Goss H. D. Andrews Ben Walling Roberta Denny Alladine Hollister Edmond, George Brocker Bernard Moore Kenneth Curry Kenneth Moore Sarah Hallam Edward Wells Alice Morrow Alva Horsfeldt Donald Welch Mignon Morgan Bob Templeton Chester Pierce —Janet Young.

Grant MEMOIRS Page 31 Stblftifg Football Letters ARANT HIGH SCHOOL Issued the first group of athletic letters in its history to seventeen players of the football squad at a special recognition assembly upon the closing of the first term of school. Service on the squad during the past season has been rewarded by a letter to any player engaging in one-fourth of the quarters and maintaining his scholarship to a passing mark. The following boys have secured letters for service : Capt. Walker Anstey Gleason Backstrom Ivison Boone Lillie Caldwell McCall Charlton Rummell Clough Saxon Daugherty Tarbell Dunham Schmitt A Token of Esteem Mr. Wharfield, our successful coach in football, was presented in assembly with a token of appreciation for his faithful work.

Mr. Wharfield accomplished wonderful results with the inexperienced team that he had. Captain-elect Backstrom made the presentation, and also thanked Assistant Coaches Eilertsen and Runquist for their work and interest in the team.
