ANNUAL STAFF The Yearbook Staff began their work ambitiously but soon found their progress retarded by wartime restrictions. Supplies of paper, Film, metal for engravings and other essential materials used in the production of an annual were lacking entirelv or were available in only limited quantities. All this resulted in a condensed book. i The staff was organized with Bob. Lockwood as editor and Howard Rottinghaus as business manager and associate editor. So many students Were employed after school that it was difficult to maintain an efficient working force. Editorial adVisors were lliss Cobb and 111's. Roach; the busi- ness advlicsor was h'Ir. Thesken. Their great and needed help guided the staff in the publication of this boo . An important part of the production of the book was raising the necessary money to pay the bills for printing, engraving, and binding which amounted to about four hundred dollars for this book. To raise this money, the staff sponsored dances and a minstrel, They also sold candy, pop, and sandwiches at the football games. A great amount of credit must go to Howard Rottinghaus for his faithful effort to keep the staff together. Without his loyalty to the cause of a yearbook, you readers would not be enjoying this record of your school year. Bob. Lockwood. TROJAN CHATTER A school paper is about the most natural thing there is, the most typically teenvage. For in this publication is found all the udirt',g the school's athletic achievements, almost any kind of crazy column and even some serious thoughts hy the principal and superintendent. In other words, a school paper should be a combination of all thingsh-serious, funny, newsy, and entertaining. That is What this years Trojan Chatter Staff has tried to make the paper to be. The staff, selected by l'Iiss Ross, decided to have a monthly issue of the Chatter. That was eas- ier said than done, but throughout the year, the paper came out almost on schedule The date would be set for the sale of the paper. The associate editor, Carl Weis, and Jean Jester, editor, reminded everyone that his column was due. The reporters would smile and ask why the editors were getting so worked up. Leaving Carl to talk to them, the editor would hurry away to find Helen Elberg, the art editor, to learn her ideas for the cover and for illustrations. Then the search for the advertising managers, Jim l-Iatson and Forest Singhoff, to remind them about the ads would start. By this time, Dr. Cook was asked if held write an article for the paper. Then lVTr. Thesken was asked for his article and news Of the men in service. After Carl reported that the news editor, R'Iike Risola had gone to the Junior High about some news and June Elsner, the assistant editor, was beginning to write her hit, everything would ride for a week or so. Beginning about a week before the date of issue, everyone really worked. The Junior High news, Ruth Doldls fashion column, Kotsy Wirtzls sports news, Jane Burbaeherls HGuess WhoH and Pat Erbs, RAround the Clock , would he turned in While news was still being collected of Girl Reserve by Elaine Sehlewinsky and Audrey Wagner, and Hi-Y by Jim h'Ieyer, the stenciling Was begun. Now the mimeographing. At this point Lillian Harris and' Nlae Kitchof, with the help of Carl, ran off stencils as fast as they were finished. ' The business manager, Herman Alhaeh, worried over the amount of money spent, and Tony Arszman publicized the forthcoming issue. Now the paper was ready for sale. Howard Ankenbauer and Betty llichels, sales managers, would contact their list of HSCllEFS and the Trojan Chatter was distributed among the students. At this point, Shirley Glisson, the exchange editor, sent out the Chatter to other schools. Nlariy students proudly report the paper as good as any of those received in return. These were the monthly activities. Each isaue of the paper brought a modest profit which, when added to the profits fwm other years, Will Some day buy a printing pl'CSS for the school. So, looking back on eight months of publication; each staff member feels he has done his best. He has tried to give the teachers and students What they desired in a school paper. That's the way of the Trojan Chatter. Jean Jestezx igle

HI-Y Hi'Y is i? its eighth year of being the only boys, club in the school. The Hi-Y movement is a large undertaking. This club is just one small clubi out of 7,000 scattered all over the United States; these developed from one club 50 years ago. Many boys now fighting for their country were formerly Hi-Y boysi Hi-Y instructs boys for leadership, ahd also gives them the opportunity to be with other boys and make new friends. A boy, after having Hi-Y experience, knows that it is a worth-while organization. He has learned the purpose of the Hi-Y that every boy must know before becoming a member, This purpose is ut0 create, mamtaln and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian char- acter . Even though he may not show these ideals; nevertheless, he believes in them. There is one other thing that a Hi-Y boy lives by, and that is the slogan of clean speech, clean sports, clean schol- arship and clean living . If a boy, regardless of race, color or creed, wishes to become a member, he should and could as long as he believes in the purpose and slogan. Last spring the present officers were elected and ML Harrell, the adviser, met with them to discuss their responsibilities. The executive board and lX'Ir. Harrell planned a program for the year. We planned the program to January, 1945. Every month planned for some stag or coed activities, discussions, speakers, or projects which would benefit the community. As soon as school started the club representative went to see Mr. Theskeny the principal, to get a date for our first dance. It has been a custom of the club to try to get the first dance of year. The dance was held September 23, with music by Johnny Bennett and his orchestra. It was a great success. Keeping in line with our program, the social committee planned a hayrride. The night was cold but all that were present had fun. In early October all the members went to town to see a show for the stag activity of the month. During the course of the year, the adviser, Mr. Harrell, surprised everyone by taking the danger- ous and exciting step into matrimony. The boys of the club gave him and his wife a chenille bed spread. In November, ten new boys were received into membership to fill the shoes of seniors who had graduated. This was one of the largest numbers of boys taken in at any one time. The initiation was one of great effect. Planned by the members of the club, it brought great meaning to the new fellows Throughout the year, Hi-Y has aimed to stress the formal meaning of initiation. 'Members have tried to develop a Hi-Y library. The members of the Hi-Y and the adviser, lr'lr. Harrell, would like to express sincere congratue lations to the Seniors of 1945. Richard Hoffmann GIRL RESERVES Girl Reserves, :1 club for girls who are interested in the fellowship that comes from working with girls, is sponsored by the Y.W.C.A. The aim of Girl Reserves is to develop leadership and to help girls grow physically, mentally, and spiritually. In September the Girl Reserve officers made plans for a picnic for all high school girls who were interested in joining the club. Later the girls presented :1 Recognition Service held at the Rlethodist Church. Each girl learned the purpose, aim, code, and agreed to work faithfully with her friends. Meetings were presided over by Merilyn Thomas, president, and Sylvia Tiefermann, vice-presi- dent. The secretary, Betty Lou Harris, kept a record of the meetings and the attendance. The task of collecting dues, maintaining an income, and paying the bills was done by June Elsner, treasurer. To keep the club in tune, Joyce Friek was chosen song leader. The social chairmen, Patricia Schmidt and Vivian Liebig, planned social events. Spring events included the Prom and a picnic when new officers were installed. For spiritual development, a devotional program was planned under the direction of Jo Ann Fullmer, devotional chairman, for each meeting and in commemoration of Thanksgiving, Christ- mas, and Easter. 7 A Christmas project was planned by Jean Bauer, service chairman. At an assembly, Jean presented the plans for the drive to collect money for the children at the Hillcrest-Glenview Schools. Thg physical side of the Girl Reserve triangle was supervised by Lois Oser, chairman of the N,C,H. Club. She kept the records for points earned by the girls in intramural sports. This year N.C.H. Girl Reserves worked to earn a ring. Each girl must have a physical exam- ination, attend monthly forums, keep a record Of the forums, and have three interviews with lVIiss Brown, the 0Y0 secretary. The girls feel that this work made them more tolerant and open minded. The successful money making projects included the established HHot DogH sale, dances, and con- cessions sold at the Minstrel. Ruth Wiengartner was chairman of the sale of sandwiches. To observe Girl Reserve Week, the Cabinet, aided by Mrs. Roach, planned a program for an assembly. The N.C.H. Girl Reserves invited the West College Hill Girl Reserves to participate in the program. Mr. Millard, from the Adult Education Council, spoke on HThe Problems of Youth. The club membership was large; to meet the interests of all, varied activities were planned so that each girl made new friends, learned the meaning of service, developed mentally, physically, and spirit- ually, and came to think of herself third, putting God first and others second.
