Club The Press Club calendar lor the past year records such events as the post- Wautoma dance, a pep session, and a field trip — not to omit the weekly staff meetings, under the direction of Miss Swiggum. Staff meetings were held on Mondays during the club period. The time was spent in getting assignments for the weekly Hilltop items in the Montello Express, and reviewing the theory studied during the week. After studying the terms used in a printing office, the club members took a field trip to the home of The Montello Express, where they were gratified to find that these terms did actually apply to printing. Inspection of the linotype, which was be- ing operated, proved very interesting. A dance given jointly by the Press and Hobby Clubs after the Wautoma game netted enough cash to easily settle all bills of the club. The Press pep session prepared for the last basketball game of the season was in the nature of a quiz show with Jack Robinson as the questioner for the four classes. The result was a tie between the Juniors and the Sophomores. And so the writers continue to advance and improve their weekly news articles in the true fashion of M. H. S. students. 20

Vocal MuAac GlaU Among the new organizations in our school this year, one which most truly combines work and pleasure was the vocal music class. It was introduced on the Hilltop for the purpose of giving the students a chance to exercise their vocal talents in unison under professional direction. Although this is the first year of its existence, the group has already proved itself to be indispensable to our school life. Its worth, as well as its excellent harmony, were illustrated at the Armistice Day program, the High School Christmas program, the Community Christmas program, and the various activ- ities of commencement week. The vocalists have genuinely enjoyed singing together, and, what is more important, have learned from Miss Neperud much about the fundamentals of music. r First Bow: June Noreen. Marie Kurkoske.

Club The Library Club had one main objective in mind this year — to make oui library a more attractive place in which to work. They constructed a large bulletin board for the display of book jackets, notices, and items of current in- terest. Several plants were added which served to beautify the room. Student librarians were appointed by Miss Scobie. school librarian and faculty sponsor of the group, to take charge of the library during each hour of the day. Each of the club's twenty-four members has been working on a scrapbook which is on display in the library as a reference. Some of the various themes illustrated in these books are: Actors and Actresses, Cartoons. Manners, Recipes, Greeting Cards, Poems, and the Life of the Quints. ♦ v Vice-President.
