PUlf, Zd The athletically inclined girls of the Hilltop began their year with a try at baseball, played on the diamond in the athletic field. When the weather be- came so cold that indoor sports were necessary, they played basketball which was alternated with volleyball. Tumbling was the leading interest in the gym. Mary Block and Maxine Zimmerman led the girls in sommersaults, handstands, elephant walks, and human-pyramid formations. Between the halves of the Wautoma game, the girls put on a tumbling exhibition. Beginning in April the girls devoted the one- hour gym period to calisthenics. George Karl, an experienced acrobat, helped Coach Frank in directing the girls' gym work. 26

cM-o te CcxuuunicA. Club Busy as bees, the Home Ec. girls have learned everything a good future homemaker should know, and besides—they have studied the techniques of how to catch their He's. 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.

 btevmatic GluJi After two years' existence, the Dramatic Club has become one of the most popular and ambitious of the Hilltop organizations. Under the supervision of Miss Wohlfert. this club really went to town. The first semester's work consisted of studying a background for stage appearance. Pantomimes, dialogues, and simple scenes were carefully worked out, with only a few minutes' intermission to prepare a pep assembly for the Port Edward's game. What student will ever forget Prof. Ribbentropp's Kindergarten, which is illustrated above! The climax of the year's work was the play-a-week series —five one-act plays given in five consecutive weeks before the student body. These plays were produced by student di- rectors. and, from the gusto with which the players went about rehearsing and emoting their various parts, they thoroughly enjoyed the drama. Who could forget Gladys Foley, the tom- boy daughter roller-skating across the stage in Orchids for Marie —Agnes Nickolai as she did her Greta Garbo act in Everyboy's Doing It —Mary Block as the tragic Maurya, which she played so well in Riders to the Sea —Marvel Guerke as the housecleaner in They Clean the Attic —or Betty Ann Cartwright as the lazy restauranteur in Teapot on the Rocks ? From every standpoint the Dramatic Club was a wide-awake organization. President: CHARLOTTE HARRING Vice President: JACK ROBINSON Secretary- Treasurer: AGNES PUFAHL First Row Lett: Alden Eichsteadt.
