Iii CI I-3 li-1 Q'The 1952 ! X'e.Q,i'c1 an ll-lli Y The dues of the club are 25c per month. Meetings were held every Tuesday evening in the High School gymnasium at 7:00 P. M. until basket- ball season began, when it was changed to Monday evening. The first meeting, conducted by the officers who were elected last year, was held on September 10, 1931, in the High School gym. It was decided that the club should take in several new members. Induction ceremonies and initiation were held for the new members the following meetings. Several trips and parties were undertaken during the year. The first one of these was a trip and party combined. A Retreat Meet- ing was held in the Wildcat Park at Ludlow for the purpose of making plans for the coming year. The club decided to have a Iunior Hi-Y, and several topics were brought up to be discussed at the different meetings. It was also decided that different men of the community would be asked to speak at the regular meetings. Other trips made to district meetings were: Franklin, Tarentum and Bradford. Eight members and Mr. Kelley went on the Tarentum trip. They at- tended the Older Boys' Conference there on December 4, 5 and 6, 1931. Those who attended were Mr. Kelley, Lawrence Anderson, Carl Benson, William Malone, Ir., Gerald Anderson, Lester Iohnson, Elmer Larson, Ir., Floyd Reep, and Tony Frisino. All the fellows reported a good time. On the Franklin trip the Girl Reserves accompanied the Hi-Y. They attended a banquet given by the Rocky Grove Hi-Y, and after the banquet a play was given by the Rocky Grove High School. Both the banquet and the play were enjoyed by all. At the Bradford meeting all the Hi-Y clubs of the district assembled and had a Iamboree. They had an indoor track meet, and afterwards a supper was served. During the year several things were undertaken by the club towards helping the High School and community in general. Early in November the club took charge of the devotional exercises of the High School. Later in the year this was turned over to the Girl Reserves. At Christmas time the Hi-Y asked the students of the High School to bring anything they were able for the purpose of giving someone a Happy Christmas. A barrel was placed in the Sophomore room in which the dona- tions were deposited. This was then turned over to the Welfare Association of the town. Christmas cards were also sold at this time for the purpose of raising funds enough to send the delegates to Tarentum. Q 7 If fi Thirty Seven f , , X gifts' , if -A

V13 fl F1 l'.... '.ZT1 Q'The 195 2 Magi c: i an Girl Reserves On September 26, 1931, the old members of the Girl Reserves Organiza- tion of the Mount Iewett High School met to reorganize and elect new officers for the coming year. On October 1, 1931, another meeting was held for the purpose of urging other girls of the high school who were not members to join the club. A com- mittee was appointed by the president to see these girls. It was decided that the initiation fee would be 50 cents. Initiation for these new members was held in the gymnasium in the form of a Candle Light Service on October 16, 1931. The services were conducted by the president, Minnie Kelly, under the supervision of the advisor, Mrs. Ordiway. This was followed by a social hour with lunch and dancing. Two trips have been made out of town to district meetings of the club. The trip to Franklin on November 6, 1931, included both the Girl Reserves and the Hi-Y. The meeting at Corry was for the Girl Reserves only. Many of these girls attended these meetings, and all reported a good time. On December 8, 1931, the Hi-Y gave a party for the Girl Reserves. We returned this compliment i'n the form of a St. Patrick's Day party on March 17, 1932, from 8:30 to 11:30 P. M. The gymnasium was prettily decorated in green and white. This work was done by the decorating committee con- sisting of Minnie Kelley, Almarion Peterson and Pauline Carl. The evening was spent in games and dancing. This entertainment was prepared before- hand by the committee composed of Evelyn Caldwell, Doris Mellander, Mary Garell, A lunch was served late in the evening. Audrey Ordiway, Virginia Challstrom, lean Bartlett, Eleanor Mellander and Betty Coon were on this committee. Early in February, the Girl Reserves took charge of the devotional exer- cises in the High School. These were formerly in charge of the Hi-Y. Chair- men were appointed by the president, Minnie Kelly, to take charge of the different rooms. These chairmen are changed every week. There are now 42 members in the club. Meetings are held every other Thursday evening in the gymnasium. Dues have been collected, and con- siderable money was made by the girls selling candy at the basketball games. The Girl Reserve Club is steadily progressing. This is only the second year for this organization in the High School, and more work will be expected of the girls in years to come. -E. M.
