The Girl Reserves took off with a flying start this year when they welcomed all the new girls into the club with a hike over to the palisades, but the real initiation came two or three weeks later when we gave a tea for the mothers and members of the Fortnightly Club. With a such a large membership we have been able to give quite a number of parties, which I shall try to describe briefly. The first one was on the ever-exciting Hallowe en when everyone turned the clock back a few years, and skipped up to Mrs. Stanton's. And of course we couldn’t enjoy our Christmas presents unless we gave another party for the tots of the neighborhood. Santa Claus was there, and distributed the gifts which the girls brought and the children went home happy and contented, with their toys and three helpings of ice cream safely tucked away. Our bond of friendship with Perry is strong and its most stable spot is our Y.W.C.A organization. In alternate years, we entertain, and it was our turn this year. We went generous on them, and secured a one-piece orchestra and served ice cream and wafers. Thgn Cdme what we expected to be the crowning event of our part of the school calendar. The G.R’s., in collaboration with the Hi-Y’s, were scheduled to give a dance. When I say the committees worked, I mean they worked, and hours of preparation wrought a vast change in the aspect of the gym. The gala nite rolled around, and the Commodores played dreamy waltzes and hot two-steps, and we took in $12.95. That was a blowto our pride but, as success isn’t always measured in dollars and cents, we counted the work as well worth our while. At least we know that everyone had a good time and besides it’s a lot easier to dance when the floor isn’t crowded. The next Wednesday nite came our annual Mother-Daughter banquet, in the ofrm of a picnic supper this time. This was our 20th anniversary and about one hundred Mothers and daughters responded to our call. We have two more events before we can call the year done,- a G.R.—Hi-Y party, the plans for which I refuse to disclose and the Senior Farewell party, about which I am in the dark myself, being a Senior. This summary wouldn't be quite complete if I didn’t mention the emblem which, one of our Hi-Y boys turned our for us. It has given the Girl Reserves a definite sight of their goal and something to hand down to the future G.R.’s as our gift. We hope they will follow the gleam. —Peggy Quirk, ’36 Twenty

It wds just two years ago that the first school paper in seven years at Madison Memorial high school enjoyed a happy re-birth. Punchy and packed with typical high school dynamite (No reference is made here of Ralph Prouty who left the paper earlier in the year to actually take up the persual of concocting explosive substances), THE MIRROR has struggled through another year in fairly good shape, considering That printing prices went zooming skyward this year. Not one of the six issues this year were found to have been handled at a loss, however. That the staff of the MIRROR as a whole never was able to realize a journalistic background. Some schools offer the subject of Journalism in their classrooms. ck iiddod Several assembly programs were presented during the year under the leadership of MIRROR staff members. Later came the MIRROR Dance which was held in the Homer N. Kimball school gymnasium. A floor show and Mirror Room Restaurant featured the event. Already the Editor of next year's edition, Muriel Bates, is whipping a new staff into shape. It will be hard work for the new staff to set the pace as the one set by old MIRROR staffs and above all, the work of Editor Gordon Martin. Martin who graduates this year helped start the MIRROR and has been at its head ever since. The MIRROR is a project that merits more support than has been shown it. GORDO MARTIN.

The club under the leadership of its President, Gilbert McLean, had a beneficial year' Mr. Trescott was the sponsor,- other officers were: Bill Dfiehl, Vice President,- Lynn Miller. Treasuser,- and Ray Whipple, Secretary. Several night meetings of educational interest were held and once each month the fellows enjoyed a swim at the V Pool” in Painesville. Cooperating with the G.R.’s ,the boys sponsored a religious assemlby program on Good Friday,- the two clubs also gave a dance for the school which in spite of its Financial failure was deemed a success by those attending. In an effort to revive the spirit of fellowship between sons and fathers a banquet was held. This was felt to be an exceedingly worthwhile project and it is hoped that the clubs of the en- suing years will continue it. Twenty One
