Sunshine Society The purpose of the Sunshine Society is the spreading of sunshine and cheer in our own community thus sharing and receiving happiness through service. In 1933 the Sun- shine Societies of Indiana chose as a state charity project The Riley Hospital Fund. The societies send contributions to this annually. At Christmas, our society distributes baskets of food to those in need of cheer, buys and decorates a tree for the use of the high school, and carols one night. We have a formal dance in the spring for high school members. Each year we entertain our mothers at a tea or a banquet. In preceding years, we have entertained the Scircleville and Jackson Societies and have given a banquet for the basketball boys. Judy Bowen, Thelma Maish, and Arlene Record attended the Sunshine Camp at Tecumseh from June Z-10 last summer. Fifteen girls attended the district convention at Westfield on October 7, 1950.

Cooks and Servers The kitchen is a very busy and progressive place at school. We have well planned menus. They try to have what the pupils enjoy to eat. The cooks are Mrs. Ola Altic, and Mrs. Gladys Shimmel. They are residents of Michigantowxm. The cook room was started in 1932 and is still going with better utensils and equipment each year. There are five servers. They are Thelma Maish. Susie Huffer, Sarah Laughner, Joan Hedges, and Jeanette Evans. They each have a room assigned to them which they are to serve. Mrs. Coombs is the head of the kitchen. She plans the menus and sees that every job is carried out. We want to express our appreciation for the fine job they have done and are doing. 44
