THE PACEMAKER 1942 THE MAJORETTES Our growing majorette corps of ten members has easily established itself as the outstanding group of this kind in Western New York. In the Western State Finals Up-school Music Competition at Ham- burg, Shirley Meade and Juline Kinder received a I rating, placing them at the top of all twirlers in this section, while Marilyn Johnson and Beverly Ross were close behind with a 2 rating. We were all familiar with the senior members who had demonstrated their talents before us so many times, but when we found six new members, dressed in their patriotic satin costumes, twirling their batons with all the ease and with nearly as much skill as the senior girls, we were pleasantly surprised. They have made innumerable public appearances at school and public functions, heading the marching band at basketball games and at the first local celebration for draftees going into service. Shirley Meade has been appointed Drum Major, succeeding Arnelia Gould, who left school during the year. THE SEXTETTE This year we are justly proud of our sextette which has contributed much to the musical interests of the school and of Mayville. It was formed by Miss Pierce and the members are: Shirley Meade and Elaine Smathers as first sopranosg Nancy Brumagim and Beverly Haskin, second sopranosg and Gail Parker and Margaret Renner as altos. They have sung at various churches all over the county, for the Tuesday Club, and, of course, at our assemblies. At the festival at Hamburg they competed and scored a rating of two. THE CHORUS Rich, young voices. Perfect harmony. Lovely music. That is what the mixed chorus of fifty-five members represents. Under the direction of Miss Pierce, they have given us many splendid performances. We have all heard their lovely music in assemblies. The public was invited to hear them at the Christmas Candlelight Service, at the Easter religious service, and at the Memorial Day services. This year the chorus sang at Hamburg at the music festival, but they did not compete with the other schools, therefore they received no rating.

THE PACEMAKER 1942 THE LIBRARY CLUB The twenty-one members of the Library Club, under the supervision of Miss Ruth White, elected Autumn Sliter as president and Betty Yuncker as secretary and treasurer. The principal duties of these members are to keep the library in order, to care for the books, to check out books, to keep the files in order, and to furnish exhibitions for the cases. They are put in charge of the library bulletin boards, of telling stories to the smaller grade children and of taking care of other library work. During the year the Library Club had a party to make posters for the book campaign for books for the boys in camp. The following Week the club began the collection of books and put on a short play in assembly to arouse interest. FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA There are twenty-one members, including these officers: President, Allen Smith, vice-president, Richard Paulus, secretary, Norman Holbrook, treasurer, Wesley Weise, advisor, Charles V. Flagg. Regular business meetings are held once a month. Gym meetings are held fortnightly. The annual initiation of freshman members takes place amid the ghosts of the old Hoag House. The annual farm and home trip to Ithaca was taken in February in connection with the homemaking department. Holbrook, Stanford, Peters, Scriven, and Weise were the members of the team. Each one placed in the upper third of the contestants. Approximately three hundred schools competed. This year the chapter has emphasized farm machinery repair work and has purchased old machines to repair and sell. They are particularly proud to be the only school in this State to have a tractor and potato sprayer as part of their equipment. THE HI-Y CLUB This year's program started with the annual initiation of new mem- bers. The officers: President, Donald Carlson, vice-president, Charles Anderson, secretary, William Cross, and treasurer, Emmett Franklin, with the aid of Mr. Pfeiffer, the adviser, devised such a scheme for them that they shall long remember the occasion. Hungered by their long walks, the new members greatly enjoyed the Wiener roast held in the shop after all had returned. H Last December boys from all parts of New York State went to Albany to operate the State Government for a day. Our representatives were Donald Carlson and Charles Anderson, accompanied by Mr. Pfeiffer. Other members of the club are: Emmett Franklin, Richard Mead, William Cross, Norman Morton, Fred Brace, Harrison Galloway, Bruce Galloway, Robert Hodges, George Arnold, Robert Johnson.
