CILASS 1D lf ll QILMI 1 Hugh Moffet Nancy Burdens C ass History Following the signs along the way so as not to get lost, one hundred forty-three Freshmen joined the slave gang' at old M. H. S. One outstanding characteristic of this wonderful, up-and-coming class is that the girls outnumber the boys by only one! At the start of the year Hugh Moffet was elected president, Nancy Barclens, vice president, and Betty Armstrong, secretary-treasurer. Under these lenders, the Frosh have tied the Seniors several times for high honors on the Honor Roll. Honorable mention was given the Freshman girls' float which was entered in the Homecoming parade. Out of the twenty-three Freshman boys out for football, two of them made the varsity, which is an honor in any man's language. Another ten of our class participated in basketball and brought more honor to our class. . Of course we hate to brag .......... but the super- duper class of '49 has just lots of members in Pep Club, Girl Reserves, G. A. A., Debate, Home EC., Hi-Yi, and how would the Clipper get along without all of those green freshies with their noses for news? just you watch, you upperclussmen, pretty soon all you'll see of us will be dustl

To build a fellowship of women and girls devoted to the task of realizing in our common life, those ideals of personal living to which we are committed by our faith as Christians, is the purpose of the Girl Reserves. When it was first organized in 1920, all of the women teachers acted in the capacity of advisors but with the increase of girls and also teachers, two instructors were chosen to direct the club, those being Miss Hunter and Miss Findley. Now to bring it up to date, Miss Mar- garet Gillespie and Miss Avis Youngberg have kept us from going astray this year. Following in the footsteps of her family, Kathryn Goddard was elected president, Annabel Nelson, vice president, Marilyn Hixson, program chairman, linogene Gardner, secretary, and Mary Lou Crosier, treasurer. Because of too heavy duties, Mary Lou was forced to resign and was replaced by Elizabeth Lovdahl. Principally a service organization, the Girl Reserves sponsored and co-sponsored with the Hi-Y: the Big and LittleASistcr picnic, Girl Reserve-Hi-Y dance, Girl Re- serve-Hi-Y play, Galesburg Youth Conference, Mothers, Tea, and the Cliristmas and Easter devotional periods.
