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

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.

--— q| The CALDRONETTE j0 - Future Farmers of America c t------- President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Reporter OFFICERS .............. Russel Whipple ................ Robert Beall ................ Lovell Green .............. Lawrence Seidel Charles Garrett Sure we’re farmers, but not in the way every one seems to think of the word farmer. We like to get out and do things as well as a person in any other occupation. We don’t work all day and smoke a corn coh pipe the rest of the time. The chapter started the year with a night meeting, discussing things for our future, and bringing new members into the club. Refreshments were served afterwards, and we called it a night. Our Ag. banquet came in the first part of January. The banquet usu- ally is attended bv parents and sons, but so few mothers showed up in the previous years, that we made it a father and son banquet and invited the Kiwanis Club. Some of our boys took part, (Lovell Green and Gorden Hejduk) by giving reports of work and activities of the club. The club had an average net income per bov for the year of $50.00. Robert Zeman made the highest amount, $125.94 on acre of muskmellons. Lawrence Seidel came close for second with $124.57 from 200 leghorn pullets. The pest hunt was under way by this time. We divided the class into two groups and elected captains for each, (Gorden Hejduk and Robert Zeman). Points were given for every pest killed during the contest. The contest closed February first, but sorry to say, one side was behind. That meant that we, the losing side, would have to furnish a night’s entertainment and refreshments for the winning side. You know a fellow’s ambition is to see if he can cat a pie and keep it down. Well, the losing side decided to let the boys fulfill their ambition March third. Ask any of the fellows how it feels to put a pie under his belt. Yes, we’re Ag. students, but not farmers of the “Dark Ages” any more than our lawyer friends. Russell Whipple Page Seventeen
