'J .,. Bl UF il Razzer Club The Razzer Club of H. H. S. was a Club organized September 20, 1927, for the purpose of creating spirit and pep and promoting enthusiasm at athletic contests. Five of the best all around girls, chosen by the faculty, from each class, comprise the Club. Miss Helen Preston, with the help of Miss Helen Johnson, acted as Sponsor, and Caroline Schmidt was elected 1-'resident of the Club. The established costume is white trousers and shirts with blue sashes and ties. An example of the stunts performed by the girls was the drill put on between halves at the football game between Marshall and Higginsville at Higginsville. Dressed in their white costumes, half with blue sashes and ties. and half with purple, representing Marshall, the girls marched out on the field from the south end. At the head of each line two girls carried a banner on which was the name of the town which they represented. The Marshall line carried purple balloons while the Higginsville girls carried blue ones. Just behind the banner in the Higginsville line rode little Bobby Uavis on a pony representing VICTORY , and behind the Marshall ban- ner came Marie Pevestorff dressed as a nurse, carrying an immense bottle 1or Eddie Schmidt who was dressed as a small baby, representing DE- FEATH. Marie pulled him in a little red wagon and as he was constantly crying, finally gave him the bottle. When the two lines reached at the center of the field, they formed two semi-circles, facing the bleachers, with Bobby on the pony in the center of Higginsville's circle and Eddie with his bottle crying in the center of Marshall's circle. The Higginsville circle gave a strong yell for Higginsville's team. Then came a weak one, drowned out by Eddie's crying, by the Marshall circle for Marshall's team. After the yells all the Marshall balloons burst while the blue ones sailed up into the air. Both lines left the field, Marshall with drooping heads, and Higginsville proud and full of pep for the supposed victory. RUTH GLADISH PAGE 67 -Z 'Qi-XJ

BLUE Q 151110, gg ff? HE-HA-LO Group Of Camp Fire Girls The second group of camp fire girls was organized at council fire meeting, October 19, 1927. Four girls of Che-Wi-Wo Camp Fire con- ducted the council fire meeting. It was a very impressive' service. Each girl took the camp fire oath and pledged herself to obey the laws of the camp fire, which are: Seek beauty, give service, pursue knowledge, be trustworthy, hold on to health, glorify work, be happy. When a girl has proven her right to membership, she may wear the membership pin or ring. The first rank that a camp fire girl may attain is that of Wood Gather- er. It marks a stage in her progress, it proves that she is sincere in her ideals and is trying to live up to the camp fire law. And it establishes and completes her membership in the organization. The ceremonial gown is the insignia of Wood Gatherer. The second rank is that of Fire Maker. The Fire Maker has had longer experience in camp fire than the Wood Gathererg she has passed another stage in her progress and can assume some responsibilities. A girl may well look at her Fire Maker's bracelet with pride, for she has had to fulrill many requirements that test her in various ways before she may wear it. The third and highest rank for a camp fire girl to obtain is that of 'iorch Bearer. Just as soon as a girl becomes a Fire Maker, she should look forward to and begin work for the rank of Torch Bearer. Before a girl can become a Torch Bearer she must have shown the powers of steady leadership or of realcraftsmanship and her appointment must be approved by the guar- dian and girls. She must have learned how to get along amicably with others both in work and in play and be a good team worker. He-Ha-Lo Camp Fire Girls gave a Japanese Bazaar the week of Decem- ber 21. They had many interesting novelties to sell and the sale was quite a success. Thus far the camp fire organization has been successful among our scnool girls, and we hope it may continue to be in the future. The girls have had many interesting social events and good time-s such as parties, Wiener roasts, and hikes, as well as learning many useful things in work and play. PAFF' 60
