BUSINESS STAFF Fall Spring Dorothy Dose Manager Dorothy Dose Beth Munns Assistant Manager Beth Munns Betty Zickenberg Copywriter Betty Zickenberg Beth Munns Circulation Barb Barrett Bill Henderson Don Girth Secretary Don Girth Lois Roberts Exchange Joan Geymer The Business staff, a small but indispensable organization of which the students of Morgan Park are quite unaware, plays an important part in the publishing of the weekly paper, the Empehi News. The most important duty of the Business staff is in the soliciting of adver- tisements. The money obtained from these advertisements helps to support the paper. The staff is also responsible for the weekly distribu- tion of the papers to the students, and the send- ing of the papers to advertisers. To become a member of the Business staff, a student must be a member of the Student Association, and during the semester he must sell at least three column inches of advertising. These ads are sold for 35.40 per column inch. The manager of the Business staff is a member of the Board of Control and thus has an active part in everything going on in the school. In the fall, Dorothy Dose was the staffs manager. Betty Zickenberg acted as copywriter, assisted by janet Errington. Beth Munns handled circulation, while Lois Roberts took charge of exchange. Bill Henderson, assisted by Don Gerth and Glenn Stone, acted as secretary, took charge of mailing the bills, and collecting the money each month. The spring semester started off with a bang! Dorothy Dose continued as manager with Beth Munns as assistant. Barb Barrett and Bill Hen- derson took care of circulation, and joan Gey- mer was in charge of exchange. The secretary was Don Gerth and his assistants were joan Keith and Glenn Stone. With the aid of Mrs. Dorothy Cella as faculty adviser, the Business Staff has passed through a most successful year. NAT'L HONOR SOC. Fall Spring Betty Booth President Bill Stanley Paul Grasse Vice President June Smith Annette Darling Sec. Virginia Dawson-Smith Nancy Slayton Treasurer Edward Carstens During the spring semester of 1939 a branch of the National Honor Society was founded at Morgan Park. This society, running mate of Tau Epsilon, is the high school's counterpart of the college's Phi Beta Kappa. It was estab- lished to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, stimulate a desire to render service, promote worthy leadership, and encourage the develop- ment of character in the students. , The requirements for entrance into the soci- ety are as follows: the candidate must have spent at least one semester in the school, he shall be a member of the senior class and of Tau Epsilon, and he shall have maintained an E average throughout his high school career, having received no final grade below a G. It has been the custom of the society to give an assembly for the purpose of inducting new members into the club. This year, however, this formality was combined with the regular awards assembly which took place at the close of the semester. This year, too, the members of the incoming senior class were taken into the club with the status of new members after the second marking period. This was done to cancel the abrupt break in the society at the end of the semester as has happened in the past. Under the leadership of Miss Kemp, fall adviser, and Mr. Watson, spring adviser, the organization has carried out a limited program in keeping with its purely honorary character. Members have received small gold pins and are eligible to have a small gold seal placed upon their diplomas. Ofhcers during the fall and spring semester, respectively were: president, Betty Booth, Wil- liam Stanley, vice-president, Paul Grasse, june Smith, secretary, Annette Darling, Virginia Dawson-Smith, treasurer, Nancy Slayton, Ed- ward Carstens.

A. Y. L. Fall Spring Jeanne Wilson President Jeanne Wilson Stan Hall Vire-President Steve Schrock Eleanor Scheincman Ser. Eleanor Scheineman Paul Lackc Treasurer The American Youth League, founded by Dr. Eston V. Tubbs on November 26, 1956, has the following aims: IJ to foster the appreciation of our rights as American citizens, 25 to acquaint us with our responsibilities in maintaining these rights, 3J to encourage our patriotic inclinations, fij to promote international goodwill and understanding g SJ to bring high school students together in other A.Y.L. chapters, The requirements for membership in the A.Y.L. are the rank of junior or senior, and a desire of becoming a citizen our country can be proud of. Especially today we realize the need of citizens who are better acquainted with the history, problems, and ideals of the United States, and who can take an impartial attitude toward current questions. As a project for the year the A.Y.L. has pur- chased three Service Honor Roll plaques that are hung in the vestibule just inside the main entrance. One plaque, commemorating the ex-Empe- hites in World War I, is green with silver letters. The other plaques, honoring former Morgan Park students in World War II, is green with silver letters also. Sigma and the February graduation class have both contributed money to the purchase of the plaques. A canvas of the neighborhood to get all of the names of former Empehites in the service was sponsored by Mr. Meyers. For the fall semester the officers were presi- dent, Jeanne Wilson, vice-president, Stan Hall, secretary, Eleanor Scheinemang and treasurer Paul Lacke. In the spring semester Steve Schrock took over the job of vice-president. Miss Callahan and Mr. Meyers, as well as the founder, Dr. Tubbs, are the sponsors to whom the club owes so many thanks. Page 24 RED CROSS COUNCIL Fall Spring Juliana Cotton President Kurt Kluger Vern Hotzfield Vice-Pres. Pat Hayford Evelyn Olsen Secretary Mary Ann Behnke George Garland Treasurer Don Kamin The Junior Red Cross Council, organized in 1942, has been very active in the school. The council managed the Red Cross Membership Drive, totaling approximately 35400, which was contributed by the students at a movie on Blood Plasma. They also managed the Red Cross War Fund Drive, which netted over 35100, and the Valentine Book Campaign at which over a hun- dred books were collected and sent abroad. Among other activities, the council has made an afghan. This was made possible by various students donating yarn which was knitted into 6-inch squares by the girl members of the coun- cil. With the help of Miss Bell the squares were sewed together to make a large afghan which will be presented to the Red Cross. The council plans to make another afghan. The council is limited to 24 members from the sophomore, junior and senior classes with Mrs. Brown as sponsor. Four delegates repre- senting Empehi attended a Junior Red Cross meeting of all Chicago High Schools at the Y.M.C.A. the first Saturday of every month. This group is also very active in Red Cross work. The delegates are Julianna Cotton, Vern Hotzfield, Don Kamin and Vivian Senechalle. These delegates reported any points or plans discussed at the monthly meetings that might be of interest to our council in helping to carry on Red Cross activities in the school. Officers of the spring semester were Kurt Kluger, president g. Pat Hayford, vice-presidentg Mary Ann Behnke, secretary, and Don Kamin, treasurer. During the fall semester Juliana Cot- ton and Vern Hotzfield acted as president and vice-president, while the ofhces of secretary and treasurer were held by Evelyn Olsen and George Garland. Meetings are usually held every other Friday at which plans for various drives are discussed along with any other projects to help the Red Cross.
