18 The Modulus Radiant Rays ■« HIS present year for the Sunshine Society bids fair to be a big year and a busy one under the strong leadership of Marjorie Barnhart, President; Louise Herman, Vice-Presi- dent; Marianna McCrum, Recording Secretary; Helen Cull, Corresponding Secretary; Annamae Oatis, Treasurer; and Miss Hazel Cage, Advisor. Strange as it may seem, the years have a peculiar habit of rolling around. With each seas- onal change certain things invariably happen. Every fall semester as well as any spring sem- ester brings to the fore those verdant creatures known to scholastic parlance as Freshmen. It is to make their miserable state more endurable that the Sunshine girls step in and live up to their code of spreading sunshine by being help- ful to the Freshman girls in every way possible. The formal initiation for the new members was held in September with about one hundred initiates. The auditorium was dimly lighted with candles and decorated with flowers and ferns. After the impressive service, a Freshman tea was held on the high school lawn. The tea was arranged by the Social Committee. The sixth annual hillside appreciation ser- vice was held at Memorial Park with the Rev. Harry Allburt, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, as the speaker. After the service the girls gathered around the fire to cook their sup- pers and story telling, games and stunts, were enjoyed by the moonlight. An entirely new feature in the way of parties this year was the pajama party. Red pa- jamas, green pajamas, long pajamas, short pa- jamas, and, in fact pajamas of every color and style were there. The affair was quite novel and pleasing. Leaving the ridiculous for the serious, we come upon the Thanksgiving appr e c i a t i o n hour, given by the Religious Committee at the Presbyterian Church. The Girls Glee Club and Martha Beaver, a former Sunshine girl, furnished the music for the service, and Mrs. Paul Moser gave a very inspir- ing talk. Short talks were given by Ethel Chalmers, June Knight, Caroline Riggers, Ruth Hartman, and Mary Scheerer. Thirty-two Sunshine girls volunteered to aid the Salva- M tion Army in serving meals to the poor on Thanksgiving. The meal was served from 1 1 to 1 : 30 at the Salvation Army headquarters. The project for the year was a beautiful rock garden given to the High School. The gar- den is located on the north-east corner of the school lawn. The garden and pool cover an ap- priximate space of 50 feet. The f lagstone path connects the garden with the existing walk. A pool 10 by 12 feet and of irregular shape is placed in the foreground. The rocks for the garden were donated by the Erie Stone Quarry, and the plumbing and cementing was done by Mr. Mahoney ' s classes, with the help of Mr. Brown, Mr. Michael, and Mr. Bucher. The shrubs, flowers, and small trees were donated by the various committees of the Sunshine Society. The ten committees, their chairmen and ad- visors are: Religious, Miss Moore, Mrs. Temple- ton, and Miss Thrailkill as sponsors with Louise Herman as chairman; Social, Miss Emma Kline, Miss Alwood, and Miss Luther, sponsors and Margery Grayston, chairman; Scrapbook, Miss Rupert sponsor and Mary Catherine Stoffel, chairman; Big and Little Sister, Miss McMullan and Miss Boyd, sponsors with Catherine Rowe as chairman; Health, Mrs. Sayle, sponsor, Maxine Lutz, chairman; Dramatic, Miss Brown as spon sor and Margaret Felton, chairman; Music, Mrs. Branyan, sponsor, Jean Adams, chairman; Costume, Miss Langley and Miss Boyd sponsors, with Marjorie Abel, chairman; Needlework Guild, Miss Alice Kline with Dorothy Steele as chairman; Art, Miss Gray sponsor and Ellen Risely as chairman.

The Hi-Y members also maintain a cheer- ing section at the basketball games. Here they stand for clean sports, clean speech, clean schol- arship, and clean habits. The section aims to uphold the team and officials. Some of the special meetings which were held during the year were the first meeting which was held on September 7, at which time the plans for the year were made and the initia- tion meeting which was held on October 8 at which time two forms of initiation took place. On November 5 some of the members went to Wabash where they had charge of initiating members into the Wabash Hi-Y Club. This was on Sunday, and the initiation took place in the Presbyterian church at five o ' clock. To arouse more interest among the mem- bers to attend the meetings, a contest was held under the leadership of Jack Hefner and Louis Nie. Jack Hefner captained the Reds while Louis Nie captained the Blacks. At the end of six weeks the losers were to entertain the winners During the winter, the program will follow four lines of work: vocational, religious, world re- lationship, and health and hygiene.
