ACTIVITIES The Girl Reserves Club The G. R.’s this year are divided into five groups: The Ring and Service, Out-door, Handcraft, Music, and the Dramatic group. If a girl wishes to receive her ring, she must belong to the Ring and Service group for one year, otherwise she has her choice We have separate group meetings each week and a general meeting each month, under the supervision of Miss Corlette, our advisor. At Thanksgiving and Christmas we gave baskets to the needy Later we sponsored a school dance, and a bridge and five hundred party to raise money. They were very successful. The club set up a small confectionery business in the lower hall during noon hours and thus increased the club treasury. Every year we have a Mother and Daughter banquet as well a Father and Daughter supper. We always have a part in the stunt night program, and this year we gave a play. It is our aim to create an atmosphere of friendliness in the school and to give a better idea of good, wholesome fun. Margery Loring. The Hi-Y Club This year the Hi-Y club was under the able leadership of Mr. Trescott. The officers elected at the beginning of the year are as follows President, Lewds Cone; Vice President, Frank Green; Secretary, Karl Stegmuller; Treas- urer, Walter Rates. One social event was the Theater Party at Ashtabula Theater; w e also gave the Girl Reserves a Valentine party which was well attended. The night meetings were conducted by Rev. R. G. Ryan w'ho donated his services to the club. These meetings were held every two weeks. After the meetings, refreshments were served by different groups of club members. The project the club decided on was sponsoring the Friday morning assembly programs. This explains Mhow come” the local—shall we sav talent programs. These programs were very interesting and showed that it is not necessary to go outside M. M. H. S. to find interesting material. The club had an ice cream booth stunt night and to prove how generous we were, we gave so much ice cream for a nickle that we lost money. As a rule the club is a much better manager than that—and can they stir up punch? Just ask Miss Adlard how that fifth glass tasted at the Valentine party. This year there are, in the club, twenty-five members, who are striving to live up to its standards: clean scholarship, clean sportsmanship, clean speech, and clean living. Walter Bates.

Freshmen To start the year right, our class decided to have a skating party. We had it in October. There was a grand turnout. It must have had a good effect on us because we have been well supported in all the other activities. A lot of the boys went out for football and two of them were presented with major letters at the end of the season. We certainly are proud of Lynn Miller and Dallas Candy. Then came the basketball season. Five of our boys made up the second team. How we did strut! Down went Kenny Whipple, Candy, Miller, Bil- lington, and Bingham in our “Book of Famous People.” Just think, a whole team of Freshmen! Exams! Report cards! The surprise of our lives! Five of our class made the Scholarship Club. More names for our “book.” Jean Anderson, Rupert Atkins, Dallas Candy, Virginia Maltbie, and Margaret Quirk. But the girls did something too. Eight of them sang a group of old time songs on Stunt Night. Besides that, a largo number joined the Girl Reserves. Here is hoping we’re all back next year, ready to do our best as Sopho- mores.

G| The CALDRONETTE J0' The Scholarship Club The Lake County Scholarship Club was organized in 1925 among the high schools of Lake County. It was created for the purpose of stimulating and encouraging high standards of scholarship, and recognizing those who had attained it. The club adopted the same qualifications as had been adopted by the local Scholarship Club which had been started several years before. To be a member one must have an average of 2 A’s and 2 IPs, but if 10% of the student body does not have this average, the school is allowed to elect the necessary students providing their average is not below B. The Scholarship year is the last semester of the previous year and the first semester of the present year. The members are presented pins: bronze for the first year members, silver for the second, and gold for the third year members. Three years grant life membership. Each year the annual Scholarship banquet is held at one of the County high schools. This year the banquet was at Wickliffe. The schools alternate in electing officers. The President for 1932-33 was Mary Alice Hall of Kirtland. The li fe members from Madison Memorial High School are: Marv Louise Adlard, Elton Behm, Katherine Teller, Donald Gardner, Mary Chubb, Helen Stearns, Ruth Adlard, Olive Dunlap, Richard Kimball, Mary Warner, Fay Pasco, Mildred Peterson, Margaret Wetzel, Elizabeth Quirk, Robert McKech- nie, Katherine Adlard, Jean McKeith, Alzora Waterman, and Elinor Johnson. Bronze pins were presented this year to: Jean Anderson, Virginia Maltbie, Margaret Quirk, Marjory Loring, Rupert Atkins, Dallas Candy, Adam Febel, Joseph Grgat, Theodore Heinrich, Louis Kellogg, Keith Newman. Silver pins were presented to Muriel Goddard, Caroline Hennings, Amelia Newby, Betty Mitchell. Gold pins were presented to Katherine Adlard, Jean McKeith, Al- zora Waterman, Elinor Johnson. Elizabeth Quirk has been a member for all four years in high school. Betty Mitchell. The Court The court consists of five members: two seniors, a junior, a sophomore, and a freshman, and meets the first day of each week for the hearing of cases which the traffic board submits. Although the judicial power of the school, so to speak, is vested in this court, the same shows no partiality, and is usually unanimous in its decisions. The procedure of every case is as follows: The violator is brought before the court where the acting judge, before pronouncing the sentence, reminds the defendant of his offense and allows him to speak a few words on his own behalf. If the offense is considered by the judges as major, a heavier sentence is given than if it is considered minor. Then too, the sentence is relative to its offense. For instance: a student, who continually throw's paper, is asked to keep a certain room clean of such waste; and a person who creates a disturbance is usually deprived of his noon hour w ith his presence required in a study hall for a given length of time. All in all, the court has fairly well accomplished that which was attempted — to reduce the number of violations. Robert Schack. Page Sixteen
