Girl - eserves The Girl Reserve Club, sponsored by Miss Iennings, is a part of the lntemational Y. W. C. A. and is sponsored by the Y. W. C. A. Council of Women, in Miamisburg. They have chosen as their motto, To Serve and to Give the Best. Their belief is, spiritual, physical and mental development. The purpose of the Girl Reserves is, to be a service organization serving the school, and helping each girl with her personal problems. ln doing this, they have sent Christmas boxes to the boys who are overseas and cards to those who, at that time, were still in the United States: furnished the teacher's rest room: made scrap books for the children of the Barney Community Center: given parties for the children of the Auditorium Building and carried on numerous other activities. Even though they've served us in many ways: all work and no play isn't their policy. They have had hikes, dances and scavenger hunts. The outstanding dance was the one which was given for the soldiers of Wright and Patterson Fields. Of course, they have played a large part in the war efiort, even to giving up their annual formal dance in favor of the G. A. A. because two dances were impossible due to the war. The stamp and bond rally, which they helped sponsor was a big event. With the help of the Hi-Y, a prize each week, of 31.00 was given to the individual who bought the largest amount of stamps or bonds. There are thirteen members in the cabinet. Each one is the head of a certain phase ol the work such as, devotions, service and social. This year the meetings have been very ably conducted by Marie Powell, as president: Mary Ann Fry, as vice president: Virginia Rheel as secretary, and Carolyn Clere as treasurer. Congratulations to Class of '43 . . . C. H. ANDREWS .-2 1.-

i- Y The Hi-Y started the year with the installation of the officers that were elected last year. The president was Bill Schmidtp vice president, Milton Good, secretary, Ernest Rockeyp and treasurer, Bob Barlett. The Hi-Y has a very large membership this year. The club is made up of sophomore, junior, and senior boys who are interested in Christian ideals and the betterment of the community. The Hi-Y did its patriotic duty by turning out to gather salvage for the National Scrap drive. The Hi-Y is not only a working club but it also enjoys recreation. The club sponsored some dances this year. It sponsored a formal dance for the members and the school. This is the first formal for a few years. There was a large turnout. The decorations were very gay and the music was fine. The club has a new county advisor this year. Mr. Sewell is his name, and he is a fine adviser and a swell fellow. Milton Good and Bob Lightcap represented Miamisburg at Camp Nelson Dodd, the Hi-Y camp last summer. They enjoyed the camp very much. Miamisburg was represented at the state convention by Bill Schmidt and Ernest Hockey. This convention lasted two days. Social problems were dis- cussed. The convention was held at Columbus this year. The president and vice president also attended the County Meet at Dayton every month. This year the Hi-Y decided to have one night a week of exercises and games. This program was accepted by a majority of the members. The club has been sponsored by Mr. Blowney for the past four years. The boys will miss him very much, for he has left to join the Armed Service of his country. The club participated in the Bond Rally by marching along with the other clubs of the school and city. We are all very proud ot the Hi-Y and we hope it will always be a credit to the school and to the community. Compliments of . . . HILE DRUG STORE -921

Grail Girls The Grail Girls have had Miss Herboltzheimer as leader again this year. The Grail Girls, as the Girl Reserves are a part of the international Y. W. C. A. A few years ago, all four grades of the high school were represented in the Girl Reserves. Then, the membership became so large that one club could not take care of all the members. So, the Grail Girls Club was formed. Freshmen and sophomores were eligible for it While the juniors and seniors were retained. by the Girl Reserves. They started the year out with an initiation which caused much nervousness and anxiety on the part of those who were being initiated. Everyone enjoyed going about town and gathering the various articles required in the scavenger hunt. When it Was over, the winners received prizes. An amateur hour also provided them with a great deal of enjoyment. The Patriotic Prance, given by this club was one of the highlights ol the year. It took the place of the cotton formal which is usually given in the spring of the year. Their club meetings included much activity and many things of interest. At one meeting Miss Iennings spoke on Easter and the Easter Season. Mary Ellen Kaylor read the story of Easter from the Bible. At another, the Hi-Y met with them in a joint session. A dance immediately followed it. There are twelve members on the Cabinet and each one is at the head of a committee. The members, who were chosen as officers this year were: president, Bona Burns: vice president, Nancy Bussardp secretary, Mary Lou Staubus, and treasurer, Mary Lou Rammel. Courtesy of . . .
