Alpha Pi Epsilon, national com- mercial organization, offers mem- bership to those Upper Division students making superior grades in their commerce studies and 2.2 hon- or points in all other work taken. This year the group has partici- pated in the war effort by doing what work it could to help lighten the work of others participating in our national defense. Last year this organization was organized by the National Asso- ciation of Junior Colleges as its of- ficial shorthand honor society. This chapter was the fifth organ- ized in the 'United States.

C.'s Defense Council, the city of Moberly Woke up long enough this fall to partici- pate in the nation-Wide salvage drive. Realizing the desperate need for salvage the Defense Council started a campaign, not only in M. J. C.. but throughout the city. Sparlced by the junior Comman- dos, a special muscular division of the Defense Council, M. C. alone turned in about 25 tons of scrap, an average of about 1615 pounds per person. A niain contri- bution to this drive was the iron fence which had so long marred the beauty of Tannehill Park. This was allowed to be taken only after a delegation of the Defense Council appeared before the City Council. No-t only in the scrap drive has the Defense Council been active, but also in the drives for bonds and stamps. A very efficient plan was devised for a speedy evacuation of students in case of fires, air raids, and other catastrophes. The Defense Council is composed of the student body officers, niern- bers of the Student Council, class officers, and members of the faculty, and is probably the most represen- tative group in the school. First Row: Harold Beck, Mr. Paul Evans, Miss Caroline Benson, Mr. J. M. Hill, Betty Jean Johnson, Miss Mary Weis, Elbert Stringer. Second Row: Sonny Williams, Cecil Glover, Hartman Rector, Bobby Eldridge, Dick Valelly, William Lierly, Russell Winkler, Jean Ellen Spurling, Covella Harris. SEVENTY-ONE

'Z' v . ff! The peppiest of all pep squads are the Red Hots made up of the girls of the upper division. Some noteworthy facts about these girls are that they are the team's most loyal supporters, they radiate enthusiasm. energy, and pep at all pep assemblys and games and do their utmost to promote all school activities. Under the leadership of Miss Kate Stamper, the girls this year presented a mock trial trying the case of school spirit. We wonder why the student body president was so uncomfortable? Perhaps we should say, Hats off, to the Red Plots! just as we say. Hats off and Good luck to our fighting forces. First Row: Mary Margaret Rector, Jenny Tallen, Miss Evelyn Miller, Shirley Jacobs, Miss Kate Stamper, Covella Harris, Mary Anna Hart- ley. Second Row: Imogene Graves, Helen Jane Boon, Betty Jean Johnson, Jackie Callaway, Betty Crose, Vivian Woodward, Margaret Robertson, Mildred Sharp, Lila Maude Lewis.

CO-ANNS As lower division pep organiza- tion, one of the chief functions of the Co-Anns is to set an example for other members of the Student Body by active participation in all activities. All Co-Anns must have passing gradesg we are proud of our high standards, The cooperation and willingness of this group is due to the Governing Body composed .l X si, ,p of the officers and two Freshman members. The Co-Anns have accomplished several things this year under the sponsorship of Miss Weis and Miss Bartle, however, Miss Bartle left us in the fall to venture on the sea of matrimony. Vife volunteered our services to assist the theaters of this town in their drives for the Infantile Paraly- sis fund and the United Nations VVar Chest. Cooperating with the Red Hots, we presented an assembly stunt to arouse the School Spirit of the Stu- dent Body. VVho will forget the Court of M. J. C. and the trial of School Spirit?
