Pep From All Kinds of Shakers G. A. A. Have you ever noticed the energy with which the G.A.A. girls go about their various duties? These thirty-eight girls spent an active year, and nineteen received awards in the spring. Among the qualifications that made a girl eligible to earn her first year numeral, second year letter, or third year bronze pin, she had to partici- pate at all meetings. When forty light-hours or four individual sports were added to the list, it’s no wonder that the club members enjoyed such a busy schedule. CLUBS VARSITY Did you hear music floating from Room 301 during club hours? Wipe the frown from your brow, as it was merely the Varsity Club enjoying themselves tremendously. The members, all letter winners, spent a leisurely hour each month, resting up from their exhausting football, basket- ball, baseball, or what-have-you games. Coach Hanson fitted into the atmosphere perfectly as adviser. Among their projects they sponsored a concert by the baritone, Piero Pierotic, thus providing their activities hadn’t completely worn them out. Identification — First row — N. Clark, P. Wcdel, P.

PEP CLUB JUDO “Is this the way, Mr. Turkal?” was shouted many times by many of the members of the Judo Club. These forty-odd fellows learned at least four tricks that holds in hopes of defending them- selves more efficiently. The many tricks were practiced between meetings and were well learned. The club members felt that they spent their time to advantage and will undoubtedly profit by their experience. Identification — First row—E. Anderson, C. Busrance, C. Keeler, E. Brady, M.

The Pep Club netted enough profit from their selling of hot dogs at football games and candy sales at school to buy new skirts for the cheer leaders. Their other activities included the ticket sales for the Donkey Basketball game and ticket sales for a musical pro- gram. To finish their successful year with a flourish, the Pep Club sponsored the “April Showers” dance, which won the approval of all. Identification — First row—D. Gury, J. Hart, A. Voisard, reporter, B.

SQUARE DANCE Did you notice the rare frown on the face of Mr. Vanderbrook at the first of the year.7 There seemed to have been a male shortage signing up for his Square Dance Club. However, with the elimina- tion of all underclassmen girls a fair balance was created. At noon during the winter months Square Dance members danced to records purchased by the club — and aroused lively interest for the club. Frequently the members danced in the gym to the calling of Mr. Leon Tack, and these proved to be gay events. Sometimes the club invited other clubs to participate in the dances and to share their fun. Thus, the first year of the Square Dance Club has proved more successful than the most optimistic expected!

HI-Y Y-TEENS “Who took my hot dog.7” was heard amid the clamoring of the picnic festivities at Camp Ah gonquin last fall. This healthy get-together was to mark the first of the fun that the Y- Teens en- countered during the year. Under the able supervision of Miss Dontje and Miss Julia Smith the club undertook the cleaning of the dressing rooms in the Central Building. Their next accomplishment was preparing and serving snacks to the teams after the basketball games. The annual Mother’s Tea proved that the girls made fine ladies as well as good students. With this well-rounded program the girls enjoyed an active year. “Ah, come on — buy a pencil.” Many times the Hi-Y boys issued such entreaties while selling football and basketball schedule pencils for raising money for the Memorial Fund. They had many other activities such as sponsoring Y dances with the help of the Y.M.C.A., which sponsors the Hi-Y and Y-Teens Clubs. In addition to its numerous programs, the club found time to welcome on two occasions this year its new members with both formal and informal initiations. Generous, eh.7 Under the able direction of Mr. King, the Hi-Y Club really enjoyed a busy and successful year! Identification — First rou — Miss Dontje, advisor, M. Reinhardt, president, E. Stadel, E.
