(Dj-j-LCE Had Composed oi volunteers, the Office Squad is one of the busiest groups in MHS. The girls work one period a day for one semes- ter answering the intra-phone and taking all incoming telephone calls. The girls file, deliver the permit list and bulletin third per- iod, and bring persons wanted by the office to the office. One girl also works before and after school each semester posting atten- dance. This group is perhaps one of the most valuable on the ranch. . . . whom are you calling? cjuac Practice makes perfect must be the motto of the library squad as they are getting practical library experience under the capa- ble direction of Miss Kathryn Geiger. The library is open every period and after school until 4:15, with two students at the desk and one girl managing the Girls' Club section. Their duties are to check books out and in, return books to their correct places on the shelves, make out overdue slips, and help other students to find the information they need. The Library Squad should be com- mended for giving its time and energy to help others. M 7 mat

With the return of their sponsor, Mr. Sugg, the Debate Club was reorganized this year and has rapidly increased in numbers and activities. On the question Resolved: thal the legal voting age should be lowered to 18 years. they held several interesting de- bates with out of town schools. The climax of this year's work was the state tournament during May. MHS was represented by several teams who held their own very well against opposing schools. Their emblems, with the symbolic gavel, were designed by Brice Schuller, freshman. Two members, Jack Murray and Barbara Haines, hold member- ship in the National Forensic League, with other members soon to have enough points to join. Officers are Barbara Haines, Bill LaCombe, and Valerie Yule. Being revived this year is the Radio Club, one of the oldest clubs in MHS. Club mem- bers have been studying radio through the means of reports given on subjects assigned every two weeks. Learning Morse code through the practice of sending imaginary messages is one of the more exciting fea- tures of the club. The club also sponsors the radio magazine found in the library for school use. . . . chief dial twisters

tfjixL C £1£T(7£1 High on the active list of girls' clubs, the Girl Reserves have gone all out in the drive to help the war effort both this year and last. The Girl Reserves have registered women for war work and have salvaged fat. Their big project this year is to help sponsor a camp not too far from town where grade school children who can't go to the regular camp can spend some time. Though they had to cancel their formal, they gave us a grand Sadie Hawkins dance on April 21. Topping their year's activities was their Mother and Daughter banquet in May. . . . eight to the bar . . . Although not under the direction of the high school, the student recreation center, or Rec, as we fondly call it, is nevertheless an important part of student life.
