THE SENIOR GIRLS' CLUB The senior high girls' club was organized this year as usual, and the following of- ficers were elected: . President ...... ......, R uth Swift Vice-President .. ........ Elsie Honkala Secretary ...... , . . .Barbara Frimodig Treasurer ....................,,...,.............. Dorothy Merril The various committees of the club were very active this year. At Thanksgiving the social service committee, with Mary Wleber as a leader, solicited food and made up a very nice basket for the Juvenile Home. ' The entertainment committee, under Mary Banks, has become quite experienced in the art of preparing food for numbers. When the L'Anse boys came here to play our team in basketball, the senior girls fed them. However, the visiting squad was larger than was expected and we ran rather short of sandwiches. U Later in the year, when our music teacher, Mr. Senob, was married, we joined with the teachers in giving a combination shower and tea. This time, however, we were well prepared and fad plenty to eat. The teachers gave a kitchen shower, and later the glee clubs combined in presenting them with a lovely lamp. The sick in the school have kept Carmen Wimmer, the chairman of our Friendship Committee, busy sending notes and flowers. Nony Bourgeois, with the help of her committee and Miss Siewert, presented us with many interesting and original programs during the year. The pep committee is losing a very valuable leader this year' when Emma Curnow graduates. Both Emma and Hattie Stone have been faithful cheerleaders for the last four years, and for the last three years Emma has had chrge of all the pep meetings and of choosing the new leaders. This year three new girls were chosen-Lorraine Tredray, Eleanor Johnson, and Helen McCartney. Under the watchful eye of Lillian Etapa, many things, both valuable and otherwise, were found and brought to the office for safe-keeping until claimed by the owner. As a closeup for an eventful year of the club, we sent fifteen delegates to the Older Girls' conference which was held in Calumet on Saturday, the 17th of April. The following girls were chosen as delegates: Mary Banks, Emma Curnow, Mary Messner, Nony Bourgeois, Lillian Etapa, Rosaline Fiera, Ruth Swift, June Jennings, Serene Simons, Mary McManiman, Mildred Laitanen, Lea Flink, Bernice Gregory, Alyce Gamble, and Kath- erine Ryynanen. Thanks to the faithful guidance of Miss Siewert, the club completed the year with the feeling that it had been a very successful one. JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS' CLUB At the September meeting of the Junior High School Girls' Club, the following of- ficers were elected: , President ........... .... J oAnn Carlson Vice-President ..... ,. .... Barbara Yeip Secretary-Treasurer ............ , ............... .... A nn McCall Interesting and entertaining programs were given in the Auditorium under the di- rection of Jeanne Abramson while the Gymnasium activities in charge of Eleanor Rich- ards were heartily enjoyed. One of the outstanding events of the club was the Dad-Daughter night on March 15. The entertainment opened with a varied program in the Auditorium consisting of plays, dances, readings, and numerous musical selections. Following this the party was contin- ued ln the Gymnasium where stunts and get-acquainted games helped to create a friend- ly atmosphere. The attractively decorated table together with an abundance of food con- tributed to the success of the party. Last but not least was a spirited baseball game be- tween two groups of men which afforded much merriment. Everyone declared the eve- ning a decided success. Much credit for the club's activity should go to the constructive leadership of our President, the faithful committee chairmen, and to our sponsors, Miss Slewert and Miss Kennedy.

It is accomplishing its primary purpose-to help settle the in- dividual and group problems of the student body. The feeling which a job well-done inspires is now pervading the assembly, for the idea. of a. student activity fund has been eagerly grasped by the majority of the students and has thus enabled more activities to take place. The group now consists of twenty-six students representing the six grades of Jun- ior and Senior High School. The officers for the current year are: President ,..,...,........ ...... . .,.,,.......,.. . Vice-President ...... Secretary-Treasurer The representatives are: Jean Abramson Leo Brunette Eleanor Bryus Gerald Caspary Barbara Frimodig Miriam Haarala Lenore Hebner Henry Hobba William Hodge Elsie Honkala June Jennings Arthur Lund John MacFarlane .William Hodge ..Mary Reynolds June Jennings John McCall Charles Peterson Mary Reynolds Robert Robillard Gladys Stoyle June Sutinen Andy Sweet George Swenson Henry Verran Linea Wanhatalo Margaret Wieder Mary Wieber Barbara Yeip THE OPERETTA - HOLLYWOOD BOUND Under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. Senob, the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs accom- panied by the orchestra, presented the operetta, Hollywood Bound, on May 13. As the name indicates, the operetta centers around movie production in Hollywood. Bob Kent, a young inventor, has perfected a new film process which is called Vericolor. After a flat failure, Mr. Norton, who has been backing him, withdraws his support and gives Bob a week to get out of the studios. With the help of Windy Bryan, Bob reiilms the end of his show which has been de- stroyed through the treachery of a few of their so-called friends After disposing of one difficulty after another, the show is finally filmed and the success of Vericolor is dem- onstrated to the entire satisfaction of every one, including Mr. Norton. The Chinese detectives, Wun Hop and Hi De Ho, discover the identity of the male- factors who have been working against Bob, and the show ends with the prospect of a wedding in the near future.
