ASSEMBLY • The assembly is probably the most important room in the building. It is the largest room excepting the gymnasium, and in it independent and supervised study is carried on. The student library consisting of approximately one thousand volumes is found at the back of the room. Nearly all classroom entertainment is presented in this room, and a ping-pong table near the bookshelves furnishes a great deal of recreation for the students and serves as a reading table, as well. The assembly contains one hundred and four students this year. This group was divided into two literary societies and each has given a program alternately every two weeks. STUDENT COUNC II.

Bernyl Sandcn Members—Jack Swanson, Jean Allen Van Ormer, Kenneth Smith, Ruth Butler, Gladys Conley. Faculty Members.....Miss Beyer, Mr. Hake • The student council is in its second year of successful operation. Its main duty is to organize activities within the student body such as the carnival and school parties. This council is composed of two members from each class, and two members of the faculty who act as advisers. One illustration of the helpful work of the council was an assembly program which it conducted consisting of a short dramatization of several discourteous acts followed by a summary of proper conduct.

Associate Editors—Dorothy Palmer, Maxine Faculty Adviser Mr. Hake • To portray in the most fitting and best way the annals of the past year is a task which involves much time, arduous labor, and a spirit of cooperation even to the extent of sacrifice. There are two factors essential to the completion of the task. One is a willingness to work, the other is cooperation. The members of the Mirror Staff have enjoyed working together in the production of this annual. Several underclassmen have been very generous in the giving of their time and effort. To all who have rendered assistance in compiling the Mirror, the editor is very grateful. THE MAROON STAFF Editor.

GIRLS' GLEE CLUB • The girls' chorus of 1936-37 started with a membership of thirty-two. The three conditions under which the girls are to be presented honor awards at the end of the year are: appearance in public performances, perfect attendance, and attention in class. We are looking forward to the day when extra-curricular music may be organized as a co-curricular activity and credit toward graduation be granted for participation in it. The awarding of emblems promises to be a step in the right direction. BOYS' GLEE CLUB • About the beginning of the school year a boys’ glee club was organized under the direction of Miss Nelson. The large membership has functioned fairly well despite the fact that the club is newly organized. It is hoped that the present interest shown will be repeated next year and that the boys' vocal department which has been somewhat neglected in the past may prosper. Awards are to be presented this year to those members who through effort and achievement prove worthy. OCTETTE • The Octette was newly organized this year and great interest has been shown in the practices. Arua Hewitt has replaced Howard Butler since Howard left school. The members and their parts are as follows: First Tenor Kenneth Strole Killy Rudiger Second Tenor Adrian Miller Arley Nelson First Bass Edwin Mullin Paul Butler Second Bass Ben Butler Howard Butler BAND • Our band was not organized until late in the school year. Many students had expressed an interest in the formation of a band or orchestra by signing a petition, for organized instruction. Mr. Peart agreed to help in any way that he could, and was picked as leader. He is an accomplished trombone player but does not play in the band. Very few practices have been held because of lack of time. We have bought band books and some sheet music to give variety to the selections. If the band this year is a success, we hope it will lead the way to a bigger and better band or orchestra under a trained instructor. The members are: Saxophones Clarinet Trumpets Ethel Schmidt Rita Hewitt Charles Jones Maxine White Lawrence Van Meir Jack Swanson Mcllowphone Billy Rudiger Baritone Trombones Bass Edwin Mullin Ralph Jones Harold Andrews Hazel Riggs « 23
