This year we carried on with the newly formed girl's club of last year. The club's purpose is to encourage school spirit and activities among the students of the high school. The officers for the year were Louise DeRuber- tis, President; Rosemary Gress, Vice-President; Lois Griggs, Secretary; and Betty Gottbehuet, Treasurer. The chairmen of the standing committees were as follows: Social, Margaret Dooley; Program, Carol Hohlfelder; Ways and Means, Jane Ann Kubach. We welcomed Mrs. Prouty as our new adviser, and under her leadership the seventy-five members carried on many useful projects — scrap books for the wounded servicemen in hospitals were made; war bonds and stamps were sold; and a school newspaper was sponsored. We sponsored a Football Banquet for the boys to show them that we really appreciated all their hard work and efforts. Another activity which we backed was the Stunt Nite program in which all classes and organizations took part, and which was open to the public. We also had a very successful Pie Social for the student body. The annual Mother-Daughter Banquet was held in May ond was well attended. The Hi-Y Club of '44-'45 started the year with a new adviser, Mr. Elton Mosher, and four new officers: President, Orton Cowles; Vice-President, Jack Stanton; Secretary, Bill MacBeth; Treasurer, Francis Vandervort. Several new members were accepted into the club after having been given the necessary initiation. Some of these officers and our adviser left for the service. They were replaced by Jack Stanton, President; Merritt Nielsen, Vice-President; Eugene Miller, Secretary; Henry Bobitch, Treasurer; and Mr. Raveling was made adviser of the group. One of the recreations we enjoyed was swimming at the Y.M.C.A. in Painesville. When asked to plan a program for Stunt Nite, we went to work and the style show we presented proved to be one of the most interesting events of the evening. Later we had two booths at the Carnival sponsored by the Athletic Asso- ciation. twenty-seven

They also added to the enjoyment of Stunt Nite by presenting a skit spoken entirely in French. For their name they have chosen Les Etoiles and their song Lili Marlene. twenty-nine
