 imion Q. A. C. (Rauiauy HIS fall we eighth grade and freshman girls organized a Junior G. A. C. Our chief aim is to encourage the members to participate in active sports and thus have a knowledge of these games before en- tering senior G. A. C. We are given points for each hour we sj end in the various sports. We chose a point system identical to that of the senior G. A. C. system and the points we earn for Junior G. A. C. will be transferable to the senior organization. At our first meeting we elected Betty Lou Lohman president; Darlene Sherburn. vice president; Jane Olson, secretary; Mar- garet Weatherhead, treasurer; and Jane Williamson, student council representative. As soon as we had organized, we began our social activities with a steak fry at the Lake Front Park. This was such fun that we soon planned another picnic. Although we were not invited to the football banquet, we assisted our “big sis- ters” by waiting on tables and we were in- vited to the entertainment which followed the dinner. We also served at the G. A. C. playday and, although we didn’t appreciate our du- ties, we realized that next year we would, in turn, depend upon those junior G. A. C. members for help with our playday. At T loon. Although most of us from the farms and North Hudson had to spend the noon hours at school, we were never at a loss for something to do. The Fifth Street playground and ten- nis court were always available when the weather permitted, for any of us athletes wishing to use them. During the winter months, Miss Kidd gave us equipment for such sports as bad- minton, bowling, dart throwing, and volley- ball. We could play basketball down in the gym or ping-pong up on the balcony. Once a week she provided music for danc- ing in the auditorium. In the spring we often played softball. During this period an average of 40 students was accommodated every day.

Oun M1-°! DEAR DIARY, You just wouldn’t be complete, if you didn’t have an account of our Hi-Y club, and we would certainly feel slighted if our great organization was left unmentioned. Each year we choose a main topic upon which all our activities are based. We selected “Education for Democracy’’ as our theme this year. Our club doesn’t just sit around all year; they get busy and really accomplish some- thing. Besides our regular business meetings, which are held every second and fourth Thurs- day of each month, we accomplished these things: Initiation ................................. October 14 Football Banquet .......................... November 24 O der Boys’ Conference..................November 28-29 Annual Hi-Y Varieties.......................February 27 Hi-Y Supper................................... March 26 Annual Activity Banquet ........................ May 4 Election of Officers...........................April 23 Annual Picnic................................... May 7 The initiation of fifteen new members on October 14 was divided into two parts. In the first section we attempted to show the new' members the serious side of our club, and in the other part we displayed the fun and hilarity which we have. When Jerry Cowles and Dick Lamkins sang a duet, they had the whole club roaring with laughter. Three fellows were sent to the Older Boys’ Conference at Mankato, Minnesota. One was sent from each class. Jack St. Ores represent- ed the sophomores; Robert Lyksett, the jun- iors; and William Pfeiffer, the seniors. This year, for the first time, our club, to- gether with the G. A. C. and the faculty, sponsored a banquet in honor of our football champions. We contributed money with which to buy the meat as our share. Every year all of us work together to give a public entertainment of some sort. We try to have as many members as possible take part in this program. This year we presented a one-act comedy, a short quiz between the faculty and students, and several musical numbers. The setting for the comedy, “Gentlemen of Honor’’, was in a college dormitory room. where preparations were being made for exams. One of the boys was suspected of cheating, when found with a “supposed” test copy, but everything was cleared up and a much cherished scholarship was duly award- ed. The cast included: Dennis Scott, Kenneth Luebke; Chuck Kavanough, Douglas Myers; Neil Fleming, Ben Montbriand; Howard Meu- ret, Patrick Richie; Jules O’Gara. Louis Al- men; Dr. Lynn, William Pfeiffer; V. H. Hen- lein, John Hoyer. Miss Rehmer directed the play. The Hi-Y German band played; Jerry Cowles and Dick Lamkins sang “Clementine”; the Hi-Y octet sang two songs. Messrs. Weath- erhead, Fladager, Heiting, and Nelson repre- sented the faculty in the quiz while Charles Thompson. Raymond St. Ores, Peter Richie, and Ben Montbriand represented the students. Our club also sponsors the All-School Ac- tivity banquet, at which time letters and awards are presented. We take full responsi- bility for the dinner and entertainment; the public is always invited. To close our season, we had a picnic. We had loads of fun, and above everything else there was plenty of food.
