=t»J— fe= ACTIVITIES The Girl Reserves Club Dear Luella, As you asked me about our Girl Reserve Club, I will try to explain it to you. The Friendship Club of the Girl Reserves is a junior branch of the Y. W. C. A. We began our year with a hike for all girls in the high school. By 'the end of the first month of school about sixty girls had joined. We have five groups in the Club this year. They are: Ring and Service, Handicraft, Music, First-Aid and Dramatic. Every month we have two general meetings and two group meetings. At the general meetings our president, Elinor Johnson, leads us in the discussion of Charm. At Thanksgiving we filled baskets for the needy. At Christmas we gave a party for some of the children of the township. But it is not all work. We have had several parties, some of them being Father and Daughter, G. R.-Hi-Y, a supper meeting with the Perry G. R.’s and the annual Mother and Daughter Supper. Through all our work and play we try to keep in mind our purpose which is to create an atmosphere of friendliness in the school, to encourage the spirit of good sportsmanship and wholesome fun, and to seek to help the girls of Madison to a better understanding of the Christ way of life. I know' you w'ould enjoy a club in your school. Betty Mitchell ’35 — —0------- The Hi-Y Club We were glad to have Mr. Trescott for faculty advisor again this year. The officers elected were: President, Walter Bates; Vice President, Louis Kellogg; Secretary, Michael Roddy; Treasurer, Edwin Waterman. The club decided to alter their procedure a bit and elect the officers for the coming year at their last meeting, instead of the election at the start of the school year. It was thought that this method would help speed up the activities for the next year. There are twenty-two members, ten of whom were just initiated this year. The club has enjoyed several social functions among which was the theater party at Painesville. We were a little tardy in the matter of having night meetings but after we did get started, the committee arranged a schedule of programs to be held every two weeks. Friday morning programs were again taken as the project to be sponsored bv the club and we thank all who assisted in these. The Paines- ville Y reserved the swimming pool for us once a month and the first trip up there we had a “knock out” time. Ask Lynn Miller if we didn’t. Michael Roddy ’34 fifteen

Freshmen May I now present to you the largest, most promising class that, has ever haunted the premises of dear old M. M. H. S.P With all due modesty, we must admit that we’ve contributed our bit to school life, and, though scorned bv many, we have vet to find an upper classman who can truthfully say that we haven’t made our mark in all school activities. To prove the seemingly bold statement let’s review the year. Who are those brave, stalwart youths dashing into view? You’ve guessed right! It’s the football squad. And look! Here are some lettermen in all their glory. Time marches on! Basketball replaces football, and again we’re well represented by several husky athletes. And don’t forget the dance we gave on November twenty-fourth. Yes, and was it a success! Well, think it over, and consider the crowd that turned out. We are now rapidly approaching the musical part. Hark! Do you hear the discordant warbling of some frantic soul as he strives to drown out a fellow-vocalist? Well, then — it’s probably one of our determined freshmen (Continued on Page Twenty-seven) fourteen

 The Caldronette 1934 The Scholarship Club Nine years ago the Lake County Scholarship Club was organized to en- courage high school students to raise their standards of scholarship. The plan seems from all appearances to have been an immense success. At least our Madison Club seems to be increasing its membership each year. A student, to obtain membership in this club, must have an average of 2 A’s and 2 B’s for the last half of the previous school year and the first half of the present School year. If the school does not have enough pupils with this average to make up the necessary 10%, the remainder may be elected by the student body, from pupils having an average of not below' 11-. Madison has twenty five members in the Club this year, and the enrollment of the school is about two hundred and thirty. This is more than ten per cent of the stu- dent body ! A first year member in the Scholarship Club receives a bronze pin, a sec- ond year member a silver pin, and a third year member a gold pin. Any person who receives a gold pin is entitled to life membership in the Lake County Scholarship Club. It is very possible that a person can be a four year member too, but no pin is given in the fourth year. This, however, is no sign that one should not try for four year membership. Those from Madison who are now life members of the Lake County Club are: Marv Louise Adlard, Elton Behm, Katherine Feller, Donald Gardner, Mary Chubb, Helen Stearns, Ruth Ad- lard, Olive Dunlap, Richard Kimball, Mary Warner, Fay Pasco, Mildred Pe- terson, Margaret Wetzel, Elizabeth Quirk, Robert McKechnie, Katherine Ad- lard, Jean McKeith, Alzora Waterman, Elinor Johnson, Caroline Henninge, Betty Mitchell, and Amelia Newby. This year bronze pins were presented to: Ralph Buckles, Charlotte Crum, Barbara Greene, Esther Klasen, Florence Koren, Olga Leopold, Olga Pol- janic, June Strock, Edith Toth, Eleanore Woodworth, Joyce Petsche and Helen Pitschmann. Silver Pins were awarded to: Rupert Atkins, Jean An- derson, Dallas Candy, Adam Febel, Joe Grgat, Theodore Heinrich, Louis Kel- logg, Keith Neuman, and Margaret Quirk. Caroline Henninge, Betty Mit- chell. and Amelia Newby received gold pins this year. Each year it has been the custom to have a banquet for the members of the club and to elect officers. For next year, Betty Mitchell was elected treasurer. The other Lake County officers for next vear are: Junior Silsbv, W ickliffe, President; Elizabeth Hilborn, Perry, Vice President: and Robert Na ville, Willoughby, Secretary. In 1934, Madison asked permission to have the banquet here. The re- quest was granted and everyone thought we did a tine job. Not only were the main items such as entertainment, food, and table-arrangements taken care of, but also the minor details were all thought of. It was really a success and much credit should be given to the officers of Madison’s club and to the home economics classes for co-operating so well. The Madison officers are Caroline Henninge, president; Joe Grgat, vice president; Margaret Quirk, secretary; and Dallas Candy, treasurer. W c hope that the success already met, points tow ard an even greater suc- cess in years to come! Elinor Johnson ’34 sixteen
