NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY At the Last Chapel exercises on June 2, 1944, six seniors and three juniors were initiated into the National Honor Society. The initiation was conducted by Patricia Fogarty, who graduated from Mexico High in 1942. Taking part in the pageant Were Edith Smith, George Fogarty, Evelyn Deraspe, last year's junior members, and Catherine Myles, who gave talks on Scholar- ship, Character, Leadership, and Service. The Senior initiates were Janice Murphy, William Mott, and Norbert Waite. The Junior initiates were Marjorie Maycon- nell, Catherine Myles, and William Brown. The Sophomore probationary members were Rosalie Jamison, James Fraser, Lloyd Dickson, and Lee Burns. , ' This year's initiates are Beverly Robertson, Douglas Hutchinson, Clarita Angeles and lhchard Sedgeley. - PHYSICAL TRAINING The Physical Training Group this year con- sisted only of boys. Due to the fact that all classes were filled the girls were unable to take part. The eighth grade up to the senior class par- ticipated in the training schedule outlined by the state. Awards will be given to all students meeting the given requirements. FRESHMAN RECEPTION A large crowd gathered to see the Freshmen go through their initiation. All day the Freshmen were dressed as follows: Boys: Ladies blouse with long sleeves, short pants, cold cream, dark lipstick, women's silk stockings, and ladies' shoes. Girls: A sack as a dress, hair done up in pin curls with no kerchief on, no make-up, men's stockings and shoes. They all wore cow bells around their necks and they carried their books around in a pail. As a special attraction at the evening per- formance, Elwin Swan and Barbara Mawhinney danced for us. The committee consisted of chairman, Evel- ine Arnold, Marjorie Fogarty, Teddy White- house, Evangeline Pingree, Archie Hosie, Wal- ter Oakes, and the class officers. MEXICO HIGH SCHOOL BAND The Mexico High School Band, after over a year of complete inactivity, was once more organized under the leadership of Mr. Edward Stanley. As most of the band personnel were reluctant to attend rehearsals outside of school hours, the daily activity period was lengthened sufficiently to provide atleast one hour of prac- tice a week. Although the attendance was not large, the band improved steadily through the year, and despite the fact that it is doubtful that more than a limited number of appearances can be made, the progress of the year speaks well for a fine band in the future.
