(Jl Uuf, GUL Models, scrapbooks, radios, and taxidermy were but a few of the projects undertaken by the members of the Hobby Club this year. This newly or- ganized club attracted many members from the Freshman class, as well as a sizeable representation from the Upperclassmen. It was outstanding among clubs, inasmuch as the members were allowed to pursue the type of hobby which most appealed to them individually. This ambitious organization, under the guidance of Mr. Hanson, sponsored a photo contest and a dance, finishing the year with a surplus in its coffers. First Flow: Jeanette Brunet. Betty Jane Weiske. Robert Tagatz. June Paterson. Bert Burlingame. Second Row: Mary Frances French. Wallace Wegenke. Mr. Hanson. Fay Campion. Gordon Daniels. Douglas Wheaton. Francis Ambrosich. Dale Daniels.

Beginning early in the year at Adviser Petschel's suggestion, they prepared a banque: for the Sixth District Legion Auxiliary convention in September. October found them making and selling their increasingly popular caramel apples. During November and Decembei they worked on Christmas goodies, boxes of toys, and clothing. In the second semester the Valentine buffet supper and dance for the Westfield Home- makers was fun. The Kitchen Kabinet Kids” will always be remembered as the peppy band which really inspired the M. H. S. basketeers to win from Markesan at the tournament. And. as ever, the girls found that their guiding molto— Success comes in cans—I can. you can. we all can —helped them successfully entertain the Rural Day group in March.
