The membership of this organization consists of twenty boys—ten from the junior and ten from the senior class—who have the highest number of service points. Two honorary members arc also chosen from the senior class. During the first semester a joint meeting was held with the Girls’ Service Club. Mr. James Beasom of the Glendale Junior College addressed the group. Mr. Buchanan, noted bee raiser, discussed his interesting work at one of the regular noonday sessions. The work of patrolling the halls and grounds was taken over as usual by the club with Chairman of Campus and Corridors, A1 Moody, in charge. Bill Conn assumed these duties in the latter half of the year. Mr. Richard B. Stith of the Grand Central Air Terminal gave informa- tion at one gathering concerning the aviation industry. He illustrated his talk with moving pictures and sound apparatus. Two men of the English Department, Mr. Tony Brewster and Mr. E. G. Hillegas spoke to the boys during the second semester. A picnic with the Girls’ Service Club climaxed the organization’s social activities. The meeting with the Kiwanis Club was the big event of the year. The Service Club entertained the men for forty minutes with music, singing, and three speeches on boys’ activities in the school. 21 T h i S c r o 11 , t it 3 o

Miss Frances .F vckson COMPOSED as it is of ten girls with the highest number of service points from each of the junior and senior classes, the Girls’ Club plays an important part in school activities. Each semester the members of this group elect from three to five honorary members which they think have given commendable service to the school. Lurabelle Walker, Patti Green, and Virginia Bartley were chosen for the first semester: while Mercy Robertson, Maxine Gulley, and Betty Clarke were honored the second. Luncheons alternate with business meetings throughout the year, the first session of each semester being featured by the initiation of neophvtes. This affords great amusement for the old members. The last meeting of each semester is a combined luncheon with the Boys’ Service Club, a similar organization for the fellows. Although no definite plans had been made at the time the Sroll” went to press for the annual picnic with the Boys’ Service Club, the date had been set for May 22. Because of the many activities in which it participates, this club is invaluable to the school. Each morning the flag is raised by four service club members, and it is lowered in the afternoon by four others. Also, order is maintained at the Girls’ League meetings by this organization. It is hoped that in the future many more girls will turn in service points and try to become eligible for membership in this club. 20 T he Scroll, I 9 .V :

During the first semester the precedent of having the secretary of for- ensics automatically become president of the club was followed. At the beginning of the second term, however, the constitution of the club was revised to read that the secretary of forensics should not, upon being installed in that office, necessarily become president of the organization. A further change occurred at the beginning of the second semester when the chib, although retaining its status as a Class A organization, moved its time of meeting to after school. Among those who achieved prominence in forensic activities during the past year were Bill Irvin, Ed Rea, Donna Whiting, and Herbert Holley. Others were Maxine Miller, Virginia Cooney, and Elise Bondy. The individ- ual achievements of these people are mentioned elsewhere in this book. Interesting initiations for the new members were held at the beginning of each new semester. Programs pertaining to forensic activities were usually planned for the monthly meetings. This club contiually increases its membership, and under the direction of Miss Marie Ruhlman, adviser, it is playing a more important part in school activities as time goes on. 22 T l • S c r o 11, H V
