Although it was started at the beginning of this year and is a new type of organization for Monroe High School girls, it has succeeded in fu’filling its purpose of creating a greater interest among girls for physical activities and personal hyg'ene. Miss Roese is responsible for starting the society and has acted as sponsor for the girls. She has accompanied the girls on hikes and lias kept up interest in the work. All girls in the Junior and Senior High Schools are eligible for membership in the G. A. A. A system ha; been worked out whereby points are awarded for hiking, attendance at school, and meeting other requirements. When any girl earns 500 points she is given a white sweater with a red “M” on it. Two hundred and fifty of these points must be earned by hiking and the rest in other ways. A special award is given at the end of each year to the girl having the highest number of points. The G. A. A. has hiked to Juda in a group twice and individual members have taken other hikes. A successful party was held early in the year. A picnic, wiener roast, and roller skating parties have been held during the year. Meetings are held in the Main Room after school on Wednesday of every other week. They begin with business, after which a program is held. Several yells have been written by G. A. A. members and given at the meetings. Officers for the first semester were: Presi- dent, Evelyn Gorham; Vice President, Gladys Oslerbind; Secretary, Helen Ruehle; Treasurer, Grace. Holcomb; Recording Secretary of Senior High, Beatrice Lamholey; of the Junior High. Marion Stuart. Officers for the second semester were: Presi- dent, Gladys O.sterbind; Vice President, France: Moritz; Secretary, Mae McGinlev; Treasurer, Mary Decoster, Evelyn McQuillan; Recording Secretary of Senior High, Florence Chambers; of Junior High, Janet Benkert.

The Monroe High School Bulletin THE Bulletin Staff has been successful this year in its efforts to turn out a high class newspaper. This is due not only to the hard work done by Staff members, but also to tin splendid cooperation of everyone in school. That the Bulletin this year has been better than at any previous time is shown by the Second (’lass rating awarded it at the recent Central Interscholastic Press Association contest. This rating was given after a thorough examination of four consecutive issues had been made. The results of this critical review were compiled in a score hook which was sent hack to the Editof, so that he might know just where the paper could he improved and what were tin good points of it. At the Basketball Tournament held in the armory this year several members of the Staff conducted an information booth. They directed strangers about town and gave out other desired information. Saturday, March 13, the last day of the tournament a Bulletin Extra was published. It contained accounts of the different games and teams and summed up the whole tournament. Pictures of winning teams and names of players were printed. It came off the press soon after the final whistle of the tournament was blown. A convention of members of ( I. P. A. was held in Madison, November 27 and 28. The Bulletin sent Herbert Tsehudy, Harold Schneider, Helen Sipple, and Miss McKellar as delegates. A Cub Staff was made up of beginners in newspaper work at the first of tin year. Almost all who were on this Staff have stuck to their work and as a result many of them are on the Staff for next year. On May 7th the Bulletin Staff held an Apache party in the gym. A treasure hunt started the evening and was followed by dancing and refreshments. Much credit for the success of the Bulletin this year is due to the Sponsor, Miss McKellar. She has always been ready to help Staff members at any time and has worked unceasingly for the paper’s welfare. [ Page Eighteen ]

Daniel Webster Club DANIEL WEBSTER, one of the first societies organized in the High School, failed to finish the year and disbanded early this spring because of poor attendance and the failure of many to appear on the programs. Daniel Webster met early in the year at a banquet where the new members were initiated by the old. The officers were: President, Her- bert Tschudy; Vice President, Bradford Drake; Secretary, Delbert Zilmer; Treasurer, Edward liitz. During the first part of the year there was much work in debating, talks, and later in monologues and novelties. After each meeting there was Parliamentary Practice. As the semester drew to an end interest slacked and it was difficult to arrange a program in which the members would appear. Miss Wheelock, who was the sponsor of the club during the past year, worked to keep the club up to standard by giving many suggestions for programs and aiding the members in getting their topics and material for debates. At the beginning of the second semester new officers were elected. The President was Karl Trukenbrod; Vice President, Robert Stuart; Secretary, James Creutz, Treasurer, Walter Share; Sergeant-at-arms, John Creutz. After a few meetings interest was so poor and attendance the same that it was deemed inadvisable to allow the club to keep on. No officers were elected for next year as it is probable that the club organization will undergo a change in order to limit the members to those who are willing to work.

Besides these there were special features including an excellent lecture on Agriculture by Mr. Steltzer, a radio talk and exhibit by John Creutz, a chalk talk by Mil-ton Zurfluh, and an illustrated lecture on electricity presented by Mr. Gluesing. Besides the regular lectures there were two or three short talks on recent scientific developments given by different members of the club. There were thirty-three members and the attendance was very satisfactory. The officers were: President, Lawrence Courtney; Secre- tary and Treasurer, Bradford Drake. The club met on Thursday night at the Physics room of the High School.
