THE MEMORIAL MIRROR The Memorial Mirror was originated four years ago this past fall. It had been many years since the school had been represented by a school paper. The first staff was comprised of those students who had a direct interest in journal- ism. It was a great adventure on their part, because they had no idea of how the students would take a school paper--that is to say, whether they would support it. The first issue of '34 was only a bit larger than the ordinary textbook—Was it supported?—It surely was, the next issue was a great deal larger. It contained more articles and columns—such was the start of the Mirror. The staffs of the years following were chosen by the editor and assistant editor who were elected. Those Seniors of this year, who had presence of mind to save the issues of the Mirror from their Freshmen year through the other three years not only have a complete history of the Mirror, but also a complete story of their high school days. These, in future years, will afford to them no end of pleasure in reminiscence of the days of youth. If this year's issues of the Mirror have not been all you think they should have been, we wish you to remember that this year's staff has worked in unison to present to you a really fine paper for the school. The motto is, Don't see the man who owns one, be the man who buys one. Ted Aldrich '38

THE CAULDRON 13 THE GIRL RESERVES The Girl Reserve Club is a high school branch of the Y.W.C.A. This or- ganization is international, having its headquarters at Geneva, Switzerland. Our Slogan, Purpose, and Code are symbolical of the life which a true Girl Reserve strives to lead. Membership is open to any girl who will uphold these symbols. At the beginning of the year a Recognition Service is held which, as the tital implies, recognizes the new members. Following this is an Installation service for the officers. The officers for 1937-38 are as follows: President, Margaret Pethtel; Vice President, Evelyn Kless; Secretary, Norma Bond; Treasurer, Lois Jean Mitchell. Each Thanksgiving the Girl Reserves prepare several baskets of food to be given to the needy. Likewise at Christmas time we sponsor a party for the less fortunate children of the community. In the spring comes the annual Mother and Daughter Banquet, followed shortly by the Senior Farewell. This club with its many entertainments and social gatherings binds the girls into a closer friendship and during this year the weekly programs have been in the nature of vocational guidance. Norma Bond 139 HI-Y The Hi-Y Club of M.M.H.S. is a member of the international organization, the Y.M.C.A. It is otherwise known as the high school Young Men s Christian As- sociation. Out club upholds its purpose which is to better ourselves in order to help others. I!To create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character,v is the aim of the forty-five members ol this club in keeping up with their purpose. The club of 37-38 was the largest in the history of our organization in M.M.H.S. The weekly programs this year were spent in helpful and very interesting talks along vocational lines and in addition to our weekly meetings we had two night meetings a month. The first Wednesday of each month we traveled to Paines- ville Y.M.C.A. and the third Wednesday we met at the school to listen to a speak- er and engage in an hour of recreation. Those who served as officers this year were: Mr. Smith, Advisor; Wilford Behm, President; Bradford Henninge, Vice President; William Eland, Secretary; Roy Elliott, Treasurer. Wilford Behm 38

CAULDRON STAFF The first yearbook to be published from M.M.H.S. under the name of The Cauldron was published by the class of 1929. No class since that time has failed to produce an annual. The first issues were larger than those of recent years, but due to a combination of the Depression and increased expenses the Cauldron has slowly shrunk to its present proportions. At the beginning of the year, it seemed impossible for the class of 138 to produce an annual owing to financial difficulties. However, a new process called Lithoprinting was brought to our attention. This process was so much more economical and so apparently satisfactory that the staff decided to try it. We hope the results will prove as successful as they have proved interesting. The staff wishes to thank all those who have helped us both by material and moral support. Martha E. Wheeler Editor
