It may be said that the Assembly mirrors the entire life of the school. The purpose of Assemblies and of the Assembly Committee may be enumerated thus: I To unify the school and create a spirit of comradeship among the students. II To correlate school and community interests, and to arouse a spirit of fellowship between the towns-people and the students. III To develop the aesthetic sense of the individual student. IV To widen and deepen student interest. V To promote an intelligent patriotism. tsit 1 Forty One iymgx Ei. i .

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.
