In April the Girl Reserves, Hi-Y, and H-Club had a Bull Session , and Pot-Luck supper , The speaker of the evening was Mr. Aina Haack of Washington University . He gave an inspiring talk on some of the problems which young people have to face during the war and after. Considering all the demands upon the tiae of the teachers and pupils we have had a successful year, and hope that the Girl Reserves Club shall grow in the years to come.

n NCE CLUB T ' a2 dance club was organized before Xmas of 1942. AT ttijT - -iipe officers were elected and quite a number came out to tnu neetings. Vacations, rationing andotlijr rnterrup- tio.iS delayed progress and man3 ' ' of the old members, including the officers, dropped out. At the beginning of the second s-enester quite a number of new freshmen girls joined and help- ed to boost the membership again. At this time the group voiced the opinion that they preferred not to elect new offi- cers but to continue meeting as an informal group. IT .e girls have worked on ballet , tap, and modern dancing. Representa- tives from the club presented a tap routine at the Senior nlay and all the members had dance parts in the spring program. Although this was not a large nujaber of performances for the club to take part in, the girls enjoyed participating in this- activity a great deal. THE KNITTING CLTJB Because of scarcity of materials the activities of the icnitting Club were limited this year. Mufflers and Beanies were the only articles for which yarn could be obtained. Four Beanies and twelve mufflers were made. Mrs. Winn and Miss Besel were sponsors of the club.. ORCHESTRA In September, 1943 the Hancock High School Orchestra was again organized under the able direction of Miss Baumgartner. Sone of the main events for which we played were Senior play, JuiJ or High Graduation, and The Herald of Time which was given by the music, speech and physical ed.. organizations on April 17, 1943. Everyone is anxiously awaititit to play for the queen ' s Procession at the Prom. Weshallalso take part in tne Junior Higl aid Senior High Graduation Exercis-ea. BAND The Hancock High School band has grown rapidly since it was orgeiiised in 1938. V hen the band was first organized it had only five mem- bers. Ttoday it has 19 members. The band loaes a few members eecn year but there -ire others to t akc their places. Therj are nov; nine new members since last yf-ar.
