THE MIRROR Well, well, what have we here? A staff meeting? Right! A staff meeting of the Memorial Mirror. The meeting will please come to order, echo the voices of the co- editors, Gordon Martin and Bill Diehl and then the fun begins. These little get-togethers have been going on every Friday Special Period in the sew- ing room since the first week of October and the fruit of the harvest has been the Memorial Mirror, which is published every three weeks at five cents a copy. After the second edition, the paper changed hands and Gordon became the sole owner of the editorship. The paper is sponsored by the Junior class, but the staff is not entirely Juniors. Rachel Krause, the gossip columnist, keeps her eyes, ears and mouth open for new dates, bust ups, and eternal triangles. Harold Dunn notifies the students as to what's what on the entertainment list, and Gladys Seifert keeps them posted on Girl Reserve news. Gilbert McLean and Bill Diehl wrote Close ups of all the athletic contests, but now that the season has ended Bill is giving way to his excess energy by editing the the column High Ways, By Ways. A few students are finding fame in the Literary Column edited by Ronnie Hall. There you have the editorial staff not to mention a host of reporters that make the paper interesting with their news that is news. Now for the business staff. Iona Culbertson and Harvey Hejduk, adver- tising and business managers, respectively, have brought the paper through financially with the help of Kenny Whipple, circulation manager, who sees to it that people buy. Miss Houck is our faculty advisor. On the Friday preceding each issue of the paper the Mirror sponsors a program for assembly in which the hidden talent of the school is unearthed and displayed. As the big fete of the year, the Mirror sponsored a dance and the main feature of the evening was a floor show with Harold Dunn acting as master of ceremonies. All this took place on the night of March 8, at 8 o'clock. The Junior class feels that every school should have a paper, and since the students have responded to our motto, Don't see the man who owns one; but buy your own, we know they like it, and to those who are interested in journalism, it offers experience, so we feel that our paper is a success.

GIRL RESERVES T h e Cauldron (.Continued from Page Twenty-seven') At Thanksgiving time the G. R's filled boxes of goodies which the Hi-Y boys delivered to a number of shut-ins in the community. Then at Christmas the Girl Reserves gave a party for forty under-privi- leged children, and each girl brought a toy for one of the children. There are a group of G. R's who are under the leadership of Marie Bagguley and are especially interested in nursing. Through their efforts, they have made it possible for anyone who has received a minor injury to be taken care of by the nurse on duty. Several months ago the Club sent three delegates to the convention which was held in Columbus. They were Carolyn Bates, Helen Keener and Charlotte Crum. Lastly, we come to our final social gathering, the long anticipated yet sad Senior Farewell Party. Virginia Dawson, '35 THE HI-Y CLUB This year the Hi-Y Club was again under the sponsorship of Mr. Trescott. The first important event (at least to the incoming members) was initiation. Whoever had the brilliant idea of having the candidates step into a waste-basket and slide, fall, roll and tumble down the stairs must have been conferring with Harvey Hejduk. He's an expert in that line. If you don't believe me ask Willard Dodge. Harvey demonstrated his ability on Willard at the Junior dance. However, all the candidates survived it and later ordeals and were received with due ceremony into the Club. On October 19, members of the Club attended the theatre in Painesville and saw Saturday's Millions. During the year we had several night meetings during which we were entertained by various speakers. Three of the more interesting talks were by Rev. Grover Diehl, on Choosing Your Life Work, Dr. Parks of Paines- ville whose topic was The Biological Facts of Life, and one by Alex McColl, Geneva member of the Washington Senators' pitching staff who spoke on his ex- periences in big league baseball. We were sorry to hear that Mr. McColl was released this spring to the Chattanooga Lookouts. This year the Hi-Y Club had the privilege of using the Y. M. C. A. pool at Painesville on the first Wednesday of each month. We took advantage of this opportunity on every occasion but one, when there was a lack of trans- portation. The Hi-Y again took over the responsibility of securing the Friday morning assembly programs which we hope were enjoyed by everyone. The crowning glory of the year, however, was the party that the club threw for the Girl Reserves. What a party! In addition to dancing there were games throughout the evening and the most popular one of these was that combination of sports called Ping Pong, or Table Tennis. In fact, the Ping Pong tables seemed to be more attractive than the dance floor. The sport was carried on during noon hours for several weeks until the stock of celluloid balls was depleted. The club helped out the Girl Reserves later in the year by acting as waiters at the Mother-Daughter Banquet. We hope that none of the diners got nervous prostration watching Bob Miller pour coffee. I almost forgot that at Thanksgiving time we delivered baskets of goodies that the G. R's had made up for the shut-ins. Officers for the past year were Dallas Candy, president; Gilbert McLean, vice president,- Lynn Miller, treasurer, and James Roddy, Secretary. James Roddy, '35 Twenty-eight
