President ROXETTES OFFICERS Melva Wcrlinicli Vice President Sorretnry-Treasurer - Marie Feiertag Madeline Blair ' I HI£ Roxette s Club is a girl s ( lub, organized to make school life a little more interesting. Formerly known as the Girl Reserves, the organization changed its name to Roxettes, this being more appropriate to the location of the school. Girls from all classes, from any course, and in any standing in their class are permitted to join this group. Mrs. Hattman, a member of the Girl Reserves when she attended this High School, is faculty advisor. Because of the increased member- ship this year, she was unable to hold the usual monthly meetings and carry out the plans made. Together with the Hi-Y Club, the Roxettes went to the Observatory last October. The trip to the Observatory included a lecture and still pictures which gave the students a clearer knowledge of the progress of astronomy. The students were permitted to look through one of the telescopes, but owing to a cloudy night, were unable to see some of the stars. At the Junior and Senior Class Plays and at Commencement, the Roxettes acted as usherettes. In the middle of May. the Roxettes held a banquet for their mothers. A picnic at South I- ark culminated the activities for this all girls ' club. CL . ' LITERARY CLUB OFFICERS President Vim President Jean Slalil Josephine Vukcevien ilirnrian - . Secretary Treasurer Natalie W ' erliniili Sam Colliers Alice Reiss i RGANIZED early in 1937 for those students interested in better reading and Nritiiig. ihe Literary Club has become very active. The Freshmen who first started the club are ihis year s Juniors. They have permitted certain underclassmen to join the club. Although it has been difficult to secure enough books for reading as a unit, this group has been able to make several trips to the Carnegie Library in West End. Miss Kessler. an English teacher, as faculty advisor, planned many activities for the club this year. J hey ha e been working on a newspaper which, if it proves successful, will be issued monthly. During National Book Week last November, the Literary Club provided interesting posters. As a social event, the group held a Valentine party and a theater party. We believe that through the endeavors of this i lub some students may be guided to better reading and thinking habits. rnge Fi (y eignf

MIXED CHORUS OFFICERS President an C ( Serrelnrv-Treasurer rancrs nerrly T ESPITE the loss of over lialf the members of previous years, the mixed chorus has once again emerged as a fine musical organization in keeping up with standards of previous years. Through the excellent coaching of Miss Haser, the chorus was represented at the All-Western Pennsylvania Chorus at Dormont by Edwin Headly, William Maglieri. and Gus Mitchell. The ( horus participated in the Christmas Chapel Program. Many memorable songs of Stephen C. Fost er was presented to the chorus by the compliments of the University of F ittsburgh and the Foster Hall Staff. When the mixed chorus visited the Foster Memorial in IQ57. Caretaker Fletcher Hodges promised to send fifty copies of the songs by Will Earhart and Edward Birge. In April of this year, the chorus gratefully received these songs, which will bring them many entertaining moments. The results of the training ol this organization were seen at the Spring Con- cert presented at the High School, on May 5. I he chorus was heard in Come To The Fair , by Martin: l ittle Dance . by Luvass; ' Czecho-Slovakian Dance Song , and Romberg s. Will You Remember . A boy s cjuartette. consisting of Rex Daum. John Fall, Eugene Kurtz, and George Kobulnicky, was featured in Irving Berlin s, God Bless America . CL- COLLEGE CLUB Prpsrdent icp Prrsinnil Ol 1 Kl-.RS Ridiard l.iidrrty Srrrrtriry Barharji NViifjert I rrasurer William Stickel T liiuldeiis Jurkonski ly TAN high school students who wish to enter a higher institution of learning have little knowledge of college or college life. They have a hazy idea of the requirements necessary for entering college, and they know nothing about the demands which the college will make upon them. To inform students about college and its rec|uirements was the purpose Mr. Frazier had in mind when fie organized the College Club this year. Such a club as this has been needed in our school for some time, and Mr. Frazier and his College Club should be com- mended for this worthy enterprise. During the course of the year, the College Club had the opporttuiily to hear two speakers — Dr. Quick. Registrar of the University of Pittsburgh, and Dr. Pierce, head of the Department of Physchology at Duc|uesne Univ ersity. Both men spoke of the credits necessary for entering a university. They stressed the fact that a student should establish good study habits while in high school. It was mentioned that students graduating from high school shoidd have some idea of the type of profession or work they would like to follow before entering a university. The College Club enjoyed these talks and gained some valuable information. Page Fifty-seven
