Even now, the girls are preparing for the day when these fellows will be home again by doing their small part to end the war and by keeping everyone at home happy. During the year they pushed the sale of Memorial Field tickets, joined the Red Cross, and aided the many patriotic drives which are essential to warftime economy. This year, under the steadying hand of Miss Rosamund Ross and with' Marlice Latimer wielding the gavel, the Girls' Club, besides sponsoring many worthfwhilc enterprises, kept up school morale with fun for all. A 'klocal yokel tolo dance in the gym was the outstanding autumn feature. L'Levis and plaid shirts were strictly the word for the boys, while the girls appeared in plaid shirts and dark skirts. Instead of the usual carnation or gardcnias for the girls, the custom was reversed and the boys were bedecked with carrots and radishes in the form of vegetable boutonnieres. Tolo day introduced spring festivities. MPlease don't pile any more books on!! If you give me one thing more, you'll have to carry me up the stairs, too. These were a few of the exclamations heard that eventful day. A noon movie livened up the day, while a tolo dance was held at night. May was ushered in by White Clothes Day. The gals and guys came dressed either in white clothes or spring ensembles. Something new was started when the Boys' and Girls' Club cabinets selected a king and queen to reign over the entire day. Climaxing the year was the annual MotherfDaughtcr Tea, at which time the new officers and cabinet members were formally installed. Following the program, tea and cake were served in the cafeteria, where a red and white motif was carried out in a very becoming manner. Each mother was presented with a corsage. Girls' Club officers of this year were: Dorothy Day, vice president, Vera Johnson, secretary, and Joann Johnson, treasurer. The cabinet, made up of senior girls, who were selected by Marlice Latimer with the aid of Mis Ross, were: Betty Rud, cafeteria, Pat Eirich, historian, Elizabeth Rissmann, publicity, Naomi Plourd, Girls' Room, Mary Ann McKellar, standards, Sigrid Karlson, friendship, and Frances Gonscr, MotherfDaughter Tea. With officers and committees like these how could the Girls' Club help but have the successful year they had?

Another integral part of the ofiice staff was the student hody husiness manager, Sally Teller, and her assistants, Naomi Plourd and Catherine Davidson. These three handled the sale of contracts, which were hought hy ninetyflive per cent of the students, and the sale of tickets for all games, plays, and student hody assemhlics.

Bernharclt Citner, Nelson, Drimmel Guttebo -f- BOYS' CLUB CABINET. Boys' Club in Action Thrilling to the tunes of Highline's grand old master of swing, ye old juke box, the Boys' Club smashed all records at this year's noonf time jive sessions. But on the serious side, despite the number of men missing, a surprising list of activities was successfully undertaken. One of the most interesting and inspiring of their programs was with Gil Dobbs, champion miler of the world, at which the Flying Parson presented a timely message directed to youth as a whole. Of course the year could not be expected to come to a close without the omnipresent person of Uncle Sam summoning new recruits from their already depleted midst. This year the call included Vice President Ken Nave and Knights of the Cutlass Representative Pete lVIcDougal1 therefore, Larry O'Neal was elected to join President Fred Woldstad, Secretary Bob Gitner, and Treasurer Scott Drimmel as the new vice prexy. Rudy Guttebo was soon included in the Boys' Club Cabinet with the Senior Class Representative, Don Mirkg Bill Nelson from the junior Class, and the Sophomords jim Bernhardt. In these times of need and turmoil, no American organization would be worthy of the name did it not render a certain amount of service to those who are now giving their all in the field of strife, and the Boys' Club was definitely American in its mailing of the High Lines to the alumni serving in the armed forces, for the many appreciative notes received throughout the year from the boys proved its value. Neither did the organization neglect the home front, for the Boys' Club began a Medical Aid Fund to assist those who were injured while participating in school athletics. During the year nearly five hundred dollars was collected for this fund. Then, too, recognizing that the students were handicapped by the lack of proper announcing facilities for basketball games, dances, noon programs and the like, the club purchased a portable Public Address System. This has since justified the expense of dollars, if only by affording a complete coverage of the basketball games for those who were forced to remain in the study hall. lviaintaining tradition, the Boys' Club held its annual outdoor assembly in the spring of the year at which all bicycle and saddle enthusif asts were given an opportunity to display their skills-and of course the unforgettable juniorfSenior tugfoffwar. Yes, there's no denying the fact - fthe 1945 Boys' Club under its adviser, Mr. Jensen, repeatedly proved its value to its alma mater.
