COMMERCIAL CLUB alias HOTI’S HAREM Betty Topham and Patricia Patterson Ellen Louise Sackett...................President Patricia Patterson................Vice-President Betty Topiiam................Secretary-Treasurer Mildred Rains ) k Lois Ann Clary .............Campaign Managers J. F. Williams...........................Sponsor OHE COMMERCIAL CLUB, otherwise known as Hoti’s Harem, was originally organized to further the interest in. and ability for. getting jobs after graduation. On this subject the Commercial Club has had the following speakers: Fred I .ebbart. court reporter: W. W. Tipton, lawyer: Mary Tibbits. journalist. But with the war on. I loti’s Harem, or- ganized and became the only victory corps in the high school, and commenced selling stamps and bonds. When the Third War I-oan Drive was held. Hoti’s Harem sponsored a contest between com- bined classes. At the end of the Drive they held a Victory Party honoring the winning classes, jun- iors and eighth graders, and also crowning Keith Topham and Bonnie Davidson, king and queen, for selling the most bonds in the Third War Loan Drive. Along about this time the club was honored at an assembly held at the University Auditorium by two movie stars and several war heroes. The offi- cers of the club were greeted publicly by the movie stars. At this assembly, the president, Ellen Sackett, was presented with a sjyccial award, in lyclial f of Laramie High School, for selling the most bonds and stamps in the state during the Third War Loan Drive. Then when a jeep drive was held among the schools of Wyoming. Hoti’s Harem sold enough bonds and stamps to purchase thirty-three jeeps. The whole state quota was only thirty-five iccps. Hoti’s Harem also participated in the Fourth War I-oan Drive. The F. F. A., representing the boys of Laramie High, challenged Hoti’s Harem, meaning girls, and of course Hoti’s 1 larcm, accept- ing the cliallcnge, came through with flying colors, winning by around $5.000. Hoti’s Harem together with the F. F. A. pur- chased a placquc for the Honor Roll of Laramie High School. Each person buying or selling $561 worth of bonds chose a name of a former student of I ramie High at the time of Pearl Harbor and now serving in the Armed Forces to put on the Honor Roll. The girls and Mr. W’illiams believe the old say- ing. “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.’’ So they have been Ixnvling every Monday night and completely forgetting their business.

Illustrating the man shortage to the fullest, was the fact that Laramie High had, in 1944, four girl cheerleaders for the first time in its history. Nevertheless, these four—Bernice Irene, Mildred Rains, Bonnie Davidson, and Barbara Fluty—car- ried on, with ability that many men would have to work for, the numerous duties of a cheerleader. Never a game or a j cj rally was held without these four maroon and white clad gals there giving their liest to bring out the stored enthusiasm from the crowd, which spurs a team on to win a glorious victory, or accept a gallant defeat. Being a part of the Pep Club, the cheerleaders s| onsored several dances after games, and during Tournament did all they could to make the visit of other teams and their fans a pleasant one. They also took part in all other Pep Club activities dur- ing the year. Three of the girls, Bonnie, Mildred, and Irene, leave this year with many untorgetable memories of their cheerleader days, while Barbara stays to carry on next year with new “fella leaders, the kind of enthusiasm for victory through fair team play, that only a cheerleader can know and have. !
