manager from the Ball Band, who gave a talk on what an interview consists of, and the type of work done at the Ball Band. Their social meetings included a Halloween party, a Christmas party, and Saint Patrick's Day party, held in the music room. Fun and gaiety, besides refreshments, were always to be had at these lively parties. The Commercial Club held their annual ban- quet, to which all commercial students, Com- mercial Club alumni, and business men of the community are invited, in the late spring. At the banquet, gold, silver, and bronze pins were given as first, second, and third prizes to the three highest ranking students in begin- ning and advanced typing, shorthand, and bookkeeping. This is an event long anticipated by Mishawaka business representatives as well as students. The business men, now of all times, are clamoring for good office workers and through this connection and the recom- mendation of commercial department teach- ers, jobs are handed out more nearly accord- ing to merit instead of on first impressions made at an interview.

Girl Keserves Maintain High Standard of Activity The Girl Reserves, largest girls’ organization at Mishawaka High School, has a membership of two-hundred and fifty. The club carried on many activities, including an annual Rose Sale, which is held the Wednesday before Thanks- giving, a Recognition Service on November oy a spring dance, “Garden Gayeties,”” held on March 5, a pre-Easter service, candy conces- sions at the basketball games, decorating the halls of Mishawaka High School at Christmas time, and holding picnics and potlucks. The Rose Sale has assumed such proportions that the girls have difficulty filling all their orders. The officers of this lively club are Rosemary Klopfenstein, president; Marjorie Brennen, vice- president; Pat Swadener, secretary; Isabelle Clark, treasurer; Ellen Heaton, sergeant at arms; Elsie Belli, a member of the inter-school council; and Miss Buchanan, faculty advisor. The club is divided into four sections: seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshman. The senior officers are Rosemary Masters, chairman; Bar- bara Fore, secretary; and Miss Hackett, ad- visor, Those heading the junior club are Joan Winebrenner, chairman; Alice Lema, secretary; and Miss Barracks, advisor, Elsie Gulyanics, chairman; Anna Pekari, secretary; and Miss Martin advisor, make up the officers of the sophomores. The freshmen have as their offi- cers Shirley Jo Swartz, chairman; Illene Kersh, secretary; and Miss Dunn, advisor. In cooperation with the Hi-Y the sophomores and freshmen decorated the main hall of the high school at Christmas time, with a really lovely tree near the library door and branches of spruce tied with red bows around the lights and on classroom doors. The club as a whole sponsored Madame Ling Lee Shew, who spoke at A and B assemblies on “Education in China.” They took time out from giving service to ha ve Mrs. Hazel Jarvis from Wyman's speak to them on clothes and the changes in styles because of the war. The sophomores held a forum on ‘Boy Dates Girl.” The annual spring dance “Garden Gayeties” proved a great success. The girls worked hard to make all the spring flowers which turned the cafeteria into a garden of color, with a white picket fence in the background. Posters adver- tising the event were especially attractive. A yellow crepe paper jonquil silhouetted against a green background made a spot of color in the first floor hall. On March 26 and 27, the South Bend Y.W. C.A. was transformed into a Pan-American fiesta. Booths displayed Mexican and South American wares, candy, and fortune tellers, and there were dancing and moving pictures for the gayer minded. The fiesta has become an annual Girl Reserve affair, sponsored by the inter-city council. English V THIRD ROW: Clayes, Clawson, Cochran, Seeley.
