... , -- . . --v LETTERMENS CLUB In recent years those students inter- ested in the various seasonal sports would earn enough points to merit a schqol letter and then make application for membership in the Lettermen's Club. This was done with a great deal of fear in their hearts as the initiation meant a definite threat to their Well-being. But this year, because of the rationing of gasoline and tires, and because of the increasing lack of manpower, sports have been greatly limited.

SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY VVar! War! VVarl The poor war is blamed for everything. 'l'herefore the Scholarship Society can add one more burden for the war to bear and blame it for inactivity of the past year. Our famous Peanut Brittle sales went out with sugar rationing. VV e tried to have a progressive dinner, but the O. P. A. was more progressiye than we were. They rationed meat, butter, and coffee. XVe couldn't even eat out of cans. Attending conventions was out of the question. XVe decided that O. P. A. l u l Q 4 V in. X Apple-polisher stood out for Opposition to People's Associatingxu Seriously, the Scholarship Society has one factor to be proud of. Its mem- bership has been greatly increased over that of the past year, which indicates that the students are not lying down on the job, but are going ahead realizing they must plan for the future. Miss Bowen who had been the advisor for a great many years retired from active duty. Miss Green was drafted to take her place: OFFICERS President ................................

A. was held after school only about twenty members at- tended. The girls participated in base- ball, basketball, volleyball, and badmin- ton. In each different sport new teams were chosen. ln badminton both singles and doubles were played. To win a G. A. A. letter it takes 500 points and to win a sweater it takes G. A. A. lOOO points.
