S, We Are Lucky. One of the biggest differences between our high school and the schools of South America is in our clubs and student associations. We are lucky, because we have the opportunity of making school life more interesting and enjoy- able through our social groups right here at school. In South America the schools are built chief- ly for education and offer few extra curricular activities. The few clubs they have are formed mainly to serve their community with social reforms and are more like labor organizations than recreational groups. The other activities in which South American students participate are of a political nature. These organizations are certainly different from the versatile pro- gram McKinley offers to all students, for our school has six clubs, all different and all formed to give pleasure to their members. They are: The Hi-Y-Ettes, a girls' organization. which holds semi-annual Senior teas, has solicited for both the Junior and Senior Red Cross, has helped sponsor the Boys of the Week, has contributed to Schick Hospital, and has heard interesting speeches during the year. The offi- cers were: President, Marilyn Condon, Vice- President, Joan Hinerwadel, Secretary, Jackie DeMoss, Treasurer, Bertha Hanshaw. The advisers for the Hi-Y-Ettes are Miss Rogers and Mrs. Heath. The Hi-Y's, a boys' organization which has sponsored, with the Hi-Y-Ettes, the Boys of the Week, has given dances, held basketball tournaments and inter-club volleyball games. The fall term officers were: President, David Warren, Vice President, jack Deal, Secretary, Bob Lester, Treasurer, Gaylord DeVaul. The spring term officers were: President, Jim McNamara, Vice President, Jim Schaber, Sec- retary, Roy Sorenson, Treasurer, Bill Seaton. Mr. Anthony served as adviser. The Footlights Club is a, dramatic organiza- tion, which gave several interesting plays and held classes on stage make-up. Their fall offi- cers were: President, Ruth Kohl, Vice Presi- T hirty-six dent, Mary Ann Pechar, Secretary, Helen Wil- son, Treasurer, Betty Lebie. The spring officers were: President, Evangeline Cavros, Vice- President, Leora Zahorik, Secretary, Jackie DeMoss, Treasurer, Shirley Lewellen. The club is under the direction of Mrs. Estby, dra- matics coach. The Girls' Athletic Association participated in playdays, and gave several parties. The fall officers were: President, Dorothea Fry, Vice President, janet Lehman, Secretary, Ruth Kohl, Treasurer, Betty Lebie. The spring offi- cers were: President, Leora Zahorik, Vice Pres- ident, Anne Kacena, Secretary, Vivian Abo- deely, Treasurer, Ellen Tretjnar, The advisor for the club is Miss Nelson. The Spanish Club, uLos Vecinos Buenos, studied Spanish customs, authors, food, etc. Its spring officers were: President, Leora Zahorik, Vice President, Frances Kacerovsky, Secretary, Frances Marshall, Treasurer, Robert Pierce. The fall officers were: President, Bill Minshall, Vice President, Sarah Johnson, Sec- retary, Verlene Vaughan, and Treasurer, Betty Lebie. Miss Leven serves as advisor. The Latin Club, which was formed to study Roman life, had for its fall officens: Council, Maria Besta and Joyce Gearhart, Pro-Council, Wanda Sorenson, Scriba, Bernice Shonka, Quaestor, Ruth Nemecek. The spring officers were: Council, Doris Craven, Pro-Council, Gloria Kilborn, Scriba, Patty Pratt, Quaestor, Doris Tappen. The advisor was Miss Soutter. Also, the McKinley Guidance Program, un- der the supervision of Mr. Kelley, found jobs for several pupils, gave discussions on develop- ments of character, personality, and vocations, and helped the school as a whole to keep, its high principles. You can certainly see our school curriculum is greatly spiced by the presence of such worthy and pleasant clubs. Aren't you glad that you attend an American school, if only for this small reason?
