A BOUQUET To the Gustav Berg Post, No. 81 of the American Legion and to their comrades who died in action in the World War I., we offer these sincere lines of rememberance and appreciation. We have read the history of their victory and in the spirit of 1942,—in the spirit of Captain C. Kelly and the new, rising legion of the World War II,—we will help to write the sadly delayed but necessarily happy ending to this chapter of modern times. In our small economies, contributions, patriotic fitness, and—if necessary—in active duty, we will strive to insure forever that peaceful way of democratic life that Americans hold dear.

Elliott. • 20 • On September 15, 1942, a group of enthusiastic girls assembled to begin another year of activity for the Conroy Girls’ Club, an organization that is affiliated with the Women’s Club of America. The girls meet on the first and third Mondays of each month either at the home of one of the members or at the school house. The main objectives of the Club are to buy new books for the library and to encourage more reading. Other annual activities are the preparing of Christmas baskets and the serving of a tea for the Club mothers. The girls find the Club delightfully entertaining as well as educationally helpful. Each member must help serve once a year and she must contribute at least one number to one of the programs. During these evening sessions games are played, songs are sung, and most anything else will enter into the activities of chattering girls. This year, the girls attended the Girls’ Club Convention at Albert Lea. A fine time was had by all during this meeting. Trips such as this one are financed by money earned in Club activities. A food sale, monthly dues, and donations are means of securing the needed money. It has been a nice year of club activity and Miss Truwe, the new Advisor, has helped make this year pleasarft and successful. It is interesting to note that the Club motto is the “Vision of yesterday is the goal for today and the starting point for tomorrow”. How different this world might be if only yesterday we had realized the course of world events and had in a constructive way endeavored to meet them. Officers and Advisor INITIATION This year five new members were accepted by the Club. At the initiation different contests were held such as balloon blowing, cracker eating, and gum chewing. The winners were Karen Elliott and Miss Truwe. Some of the girls sang, danced, and others gave imitations. All new members had to give written and oral book reports as part of their initiation assignment. Get set, Karen.
