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

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

John Hutchi- son. Robert Orcutt, Richard Leslie. E. Gordon Warner, Director By Robert Morlan Months of hard work combined with the experience of the past years and the extraordinary ability of the director, E. Gordon Warner, brought the M. M. H. S. Mixed Chorus to a peak never heretofore reached by any organization in this school. The first program of the year was to be presented in December at Kent State University, but due to the condition of the weather and icy roads the trip was reluctantly called off. However, on May fifth the chorus did go to Kent and presented a half hour assembly program. They were the first High School group of any kind to give a program there on such an occasion. The chorus sang twice during the year in the Central Congregational Church of Madison. The first was a short program presented for the Woman’s Association. On Easster night the chorus gave half a cantata in the church, the remaining half being given by church choirs. The first big program was the annual concert in the M. M. H. S. auditorium. Besides the selections by the chorus, several numbers were sung by the boys glee club. Special features on the program were a baritone solo by Wilford Behm, a piano solo by Rupert Atkins, and a soprano duet by Gladys Rose and Virginia Maltbie. The entire program was excellently presented and was received enthusiastically by a large audience. A few days after the concert the chorus went to Geneva to sing in the First Methodist Church. Somewhat earlier in the year they sang at a peace conference sponsored by the Lake County Federated Women's Clubs which was held in the First Methodist Church in Painesville. Last year the custom of the Perry Orchestra and Madison Chorus exchanging programs was started. Both concerts were presented this year to the great enjoyment of the two student bodies and we certainly hope that it will be continued. On April 17th came the event at which the chorus had been aiming all year,- the district contest at Ashland. The 250 miles to and from Ashland were made in two school busses. Each one carried his lunch and ate in the school busses so that they could go directly to the contest upon arriving. The chorus went on the stage at 12:30, the last of the Mixed Choruses to com- pete. After singing, small groups wandered about the town while awaiting he descision of the judges. Upon returning, they learned that they had taken 1st place with a No. 11 (excellent) Continued on Page 34 Twenty-two
