ggi I i Home Economics Club THIS year, as in the years before, the Home Economics club has carried off its many activities with thoroughness. The Bazaar, the initiation, the luncheons, the candy sale, and the biggest event of the year, the forthcoming Style Show, hold the attention of the members. The aprons, needles, and thimbles worn by certain girls on November I4 were not for a practical purpose. They constituted a part of the initiation which was completed that evening in lj during a formal ceremony. Throughout the year, several members serve on the service committee . As the name implies, it is their duty to serve the clubg and among other things they make the numerals for the Cwirls' Letter club. Unfortunately, it is impossible to give an account of the Style Show, since it is not held until the last week or two of school. However, a successful show is an- ticipated under the capable leadership of the vice president, Marian Mitchell. At that time all wearing apparel made during the year will be presented in a style review. In addition the club pins are given to the members who have been voted upon by present owners of the pins and the advisers, Mrs. Eula S. Creech and Miss lN4arian Gary. The girl who has done the most for the benefit of the club and whose character is highest receives the .Julia Creech cup, the highest award given to Home Economics club members. Last year Sedonia Keith received this honor. Honor pins were given to Marian Hultenberg, Frances French, Vivian Noth, Charlotte McKee, Phyllis Leedy and Mary Frances Entress. Girl Reserves THE S.H.S. group of the lnternationalC1irl Reserves, the organization sponsored by the Y.W.C.A., and popularly known as the Tri-Y, has more than doubled its membership during the past year. Under the guidance of Mrs. l-l. jockimsen, the club has followed out its program of service projects and self-improve- ment. Through voluntary contributions from the mem.bers and advisers it has given aid to the children at the Tuberculosis hospital. At some of their meetings they have held open discussionson requested topics with an eye toward self-im- provement. The most outstanding event of the year for the Tri-Y's was the Annual Mid- winter Conference during the last week-end in january for which the Salem group, under their president Louise Hayes, were hostesses. In attendance were 250 T ri-Y's from all over the state. On April 18, under the new president, Esther Mae Devore, the last big event of the year, the Folk Festival, was held. 88

Girls' Letter Club . ALL enthusiastic sports women of Salem high will be found as members of the Girls' Letter club. About two hundred girls who have earned at least a hundred points by the Oregon Point System are enrolled in the club. In addition to the regular officers, girls are elected as heads of the various sports and direct interclass competition. Every girl in high school has the opportunity to be in the Grand March, which is always the feature of the Jym Jamboree. This year, the theme of the Jamboree was an Indian Pow Wow to which num- erous countries sent their delegates. Chief White Eagle, Alice Swift, opened the peace conference with a speech of welcome. Scotch lassies were the first arrivals, bringing with them a lively dance to the music of bagpipes. Quaint, but entertain- ing, was the peasant dance contributed to the conference by Italy. Ireland was well represented by the sprightly Jig of the colleens. A touch of the Orient was added by the Japanese maids in their colorful kimonas who rendered a native Cherry Blossom dance, holding the pink sprays in their hands. Germany, famous for her tumblers, sent some of her best, while Egypt, not wishing to be outdone, sent her star pyramid builders to demonstrate how human pyramids look. The I-Iansesn and 'A Gretchensf' hailing from the land of wooden shoes, joined the ceremonial with a striking windmill dance. Lads and lasses of Merrie England danced the Rufty-tufty, the popular dance in 1651. A formal bar drill, performed by Swedish maids in trim shirts and shorts, showed perfect timing and coordination. And a few of the Ethiopians not in the war were there and danced a cannibalistic threat amid the shouts of the spectators. That Uncle Sam could hold his own was proved by the snappy tap-dancers in their gay red-white-and blue ensembles, and cocky red striped high hats. Around a glowing campfire, Chief White Eagle and his tribe gathered and lifted their voices in song, when into their midst appeared a lone eagle which danced to the distant sound of tom-toms. Thus ended the Pow Wow. Senior two hundred point girls who have been judged by the entire high school faculty on cooperation, scholorship, honor, and health are awarded gold pins. Exactly a dozen girls have received them this year. These girls were: Jeanette Brown, Dorothy Butte, Alice Cunningham, Rose Ann Gibson, Marian I-Iultenberg, Isabel lVIcGilchrist, Eleanor Perry, Mildred Rickman, Alice Swift, Irene Van Avery, Esther Vehrs, and Dorothy Williams. It is a still greater honor to receive the Snook cup, presented by Grace Snook Wolgamott to the girl with the highest rating in a physical efnciency test. Last year's winner was Marian I-Iultenberg. The social year will be completed with a picnic besides the costume dance held last fall. 86
