Then Mrs. Booth and Mrs. Weber took over. Miss Winifred Richmond and Miss Ardith Johnson, both high school teachers, are our present counselors. The week of initiation was a week of fun The new members were forced to walk up the steps backwards, wear socks of two different patterns, wear dunce caps and obey the slightest whims of the older members. The formal initiation was held in Ward-Cottrell Gymn sium with our parents and friends present. Refresh- ments were served afterwards. Marin 2 City had the privilege of entertaining the Girl Reserves of the county at a fall conference Hi-Y Boys and Girl Reserves attended the Boy-Girl conference at Croswell. Lois Tripp and Helen McCarron were chosen del- egates to a Girl reserve conference in Battle Creek, from where they brought back much interesting and useiui information. A splash party was held in the Y Pool in Port Huron in February; it wa; a thrill to go swimmir.g in mid-winter. The Hi Y boys entertained the Girl Reserves at a combined party in th high school. The group par g songs, p’ayed games, danced and enjoyed them- selves. A pot luck lunch was served. Another social activity was a taffy-pull.
