GIRL SCOUTS Freda Chase Rose Brenes Dorothy Rogers Bernice Hellum • • Patrol Leaders Troop 37 Patrol Leaders Troop 33 PERHAPS the most conspicuous characteristic of the Girl Scouts, aside from the girlish khaki costume, is not so much their theorizing as their practical application of these theories. Their primary purpose is to prepare themselves for life, blit they do not content themselves merely with expounding the merits of this concededly excellent purpose. They proceed to develop their own individual talents. If a Girl Scout gives any intimation of ability along some line, she prepares herself through intensive study to pass the examination, and when this i?- achieved, she is awarded a badge. This includes athletics, cooking, sewing, writing or music. Their activity is designed to benefit not only themselves, but also others. The Girl Scouts have been taking charge of the rest room, and caring for the sick girls who use it. During the winter holiday season, the girls donated Thanksgiving baskets and toys to the children at the Phyllis Wheatley house. They also sorted and sent Christmas seals to the homes. Last fall the members acted as waitresses to several hundred people who attended the Near East Relief Golden Rule dinner at the New Nicollet Hotel. At the weekly meetings, the troops engage in singing, contests, and games, or receive instructions on their test and badge work. When the weather permits, the girls hike into the country where they observe the wonders of the open and play games, then eat a hearty meal about the camp fire. During the cold weather, the troops attend parties at the homes of the girls. Miss Thompson is captain of I roop 35, and Miss Drum leads Troop 37. Reck Row Bu«i. Wot»r. MciKKr, Hakmr. Maxwell. Kino.

ATHLETIC BOARD OF CONTROL OFFICERS Joe Havstad............................... 'resident David SKOLNICK.............................Vice-President Fae Brechner..............................Secretary THE exceedingly important business of designating the enviable recipients of all letters, bars, medals, and cups is effected by the Athletic Board of Control, which has charge of all North High athletics. The hoard is elected in October of each school year. Vacancies left by those who graduate are filled by a special meeting. The meetings occur the second Tuesday of each school month at 9:15 in room 115. The departments of athletics recognized as major sports for hoys are: football, basketball, baseball, and outdoor track; for the girls are volleyball, indoor, and track. Those as minor for the hoys are indoor track, cross country, hockey, tennis, golf, and special gymnastics; for the girls there are swimming, skating, folk dancing, and tennis. In addition to Mr. Hobbs, principal, Mr. Mandcville, faculty business manager, and Mr. Pollard, school treasurer, the officers of the association arc as follows: Joe Havstad, president; David Skolnick, vice-president; Fae Brechner. secretary; Jack Glotter, sergeant-at-arms; ami a girl and boy representative from each of the three classes. North High students are justified in feeling proud of their school in athletics, for not only has it won many championships but never has there been a deficit in financial matters. This is due partly to the inestimably fine management of Mr. Mandcville and partly to the fact that a budget is used whereby only a definite amount is allotted each department. This sets the financial plan of athletics on a rigid, definite plan basis. Standing Mabcis, Piumx, Madimjn, Omani , (.lotto. Wukh, Oatkbiu Sniing Rivas. Smh-mck. Rmechhib, Ms. Hoas . Math iso .

OFFICERS Donald Burris............................... ’resident Meyer Gordon..................................Vice-President Arthur Keller...............................Secretary Karl Bach...................................Treasurer A YEAR and a half ago the various boys’ clubs functioning independently of each other at North realized that a common aim animates them all: namely, to develop the potentialities of their members to the highest ideal of manhood. W ith this common bond, these organizations united in the Character Club, retaining their individuality as chapters. The effect of the club is a spirit of tolerance, friendship, co-operation, and the strength which comes of unity. Accommodating over one hundred-fifty boys, with six active chapters, the Character Club is one of the most influential organizations at North. Each Tuesday evening the members assemble in the lunch room tor a supper meeting. An entertainment feature, with songs, and a brief really worth-while talk constitute the program. After an hour at the supper table, the meeting is adjourned to chapter sessions. The club has enjoyed various notable entertainments during the past year. A winter frolic at Glenwood Chalet and an outdoor picnic have been part of the boys’ social entertainments. The Character Club has been the originator of the Greater North Campaign and took an active part in bringing about its success. 'I'lie six chapters, Hi-Y. K. 0. T. C., Ylenorah, Junior Menorah, and Alpha and Beta Torch Clubs, are led by Mr. I-eif Larson, Mr. Trafford Jayne, Mr. Pollard, Mr. Reuben Berman, Mr. William Boyer, and Mr. Kenneth Gilkerson, respectively. Don Burris is president, Meyer Gordon, vice-president, Arthur Keller, secretary, and Karl Bach, treasurer. Slanting—Lawn. Mb. CluctHWN. Pittnam. Bovn. Mu. Catm. Mb. Javnk. Anrumo Mb. Poiaaiu .
